FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
BERNINA by the Sea
Do I have to stay at the hotel?
Hotel rooms are bundled into the ticket cost, so by registering, you automatically gain access to a discounted room. Most attendees will stay on-site to enjoy free time together! We highly encourage staying at the Wentworth so you can benefit from all activities and hotel amenities.
Do I need to bring my machine?
Not at all. We supply all of the machines for the weekend!
Are all supplies really provided?
If you have a favorite pair of scissors that you just can't sew without, bring those! Otherwise, yes, all supplies will be provided.
Can I (or should I) bring a project with me?
If you have a handwork project that you're working on, there will be time to socialize and enjoy small projects. The sewing machines will not be available after or between class times.
Are spa treatments included in the event ticket?
Spa treatments are at your own discretion and not included in your event ticket.
Can I share a room?
Definitely! Attendees who opt to share a room receive a slightly discounted price. Single kings and double queens are available.
If I'm sharing a room, do we both have to purchase a ticket?
Yes, the shared room cost is reflected in the lower ticket price, but two tickets are required. In addition, attendees must note each other in their checkout notes. If you forget, please email jessica@pintuckandpurl.com to note your room partner.
My spouse is joining me for the weekend but not attending the event. Do I buy a single or a double?
Please reserve a single-occupancy ticket. You'll receive a King bed. Double-occupancy rooms are reserved for multiple attendees sharing space.
Can my partner/spouse attend the event?
Of course! If they plan to enjoy any part of the actual event (classes, meals, etc.), you need to purchase an additional ticket. You may purchase double-occupancy tickets in this case.
What if it snows?
This event will happen regardless of weather. While we're crossing our fingers for warmer weather, the Wentworth is fully capable of hosting large events in inclement conditions.
What is the age requirement for this event?
This event is for ages 16+.
How should I dress/pack?
Please pack comfortable clothes and shoes for your time at BERNINA by the Sea. We have no dress code for our sit-down dinners, either.
Is anybody dressing up for evening events?
We encourage attendees to "dress up" as much or as little as they prefer. Maggie and the rest of the team will dress up for evening activities. We're excited to break out some awesome dresses!
When will our learning groups be announced?
Learning groups will be announced closer to the event. If you requested to be in a group with another attendee(s), we've noted it!
Can I get a refund?
Seats for special events and master classes are nonrefundable, but they may be transferred to someone else. If you cannot attend, please notify us immediately, as we may have a waitlist. If not, it is the attendee's responsibility to find someone to take their spot.
