As far as I know, they don't do waiting lists. But there is a ticket booth in one of the buildings where they have all the classes where tickets are available, and they also add classes during the Expo so you can check and see if any serger classes have been added or are available.

People exchange tickets at the booth all the time, and people turn in tickets for classes they are not going to attend for one reason or another, they change the listing daily so it's different every day.

Thank you for the info. I have never been to the expo and so wondered. I will try this when I get there if I do go.

If anyone going over, make sure you get your reservations now as the close motels are almost sold out for this! I would have to stay in a small town just off the hwy. Can't think of the name of it now, which wasn't bad going, but finding my way back was a chore every time. Am in eastern washington now, so won't be making it. I had a costume shop, so I had a blast there, getting the goodies I needed, plus the classes. Have fun everyone!

It will be hit and miss. I'm wearing the flower pin, others talked about doing the same. And there's a tent in the main area where you can relax and eat and meet people - I'll be dropping in there when I have breaks. I plan on bringing my camera.

What a good time I had at the show. I got to meet with Mistiliz on Thurs and Fri! Thank you Mistiliz for a wonderful time! I looked in the tent for bright flowers and didn't see any? I was hoping to meet more of our board members. I hope everyone had a good time and a safe trip. Hopefully your wallet didn't come back too flat! :cry: :cry:

Eleanor Burns had a great show as usual. She shared her quilt with barns and quilting squares painted on them. There are approximately 3,000 barns in the US that have quilting squares painted on them!

Maybe next year more of us can meet together.
