The AVS Preview Party Is Back!
A whole new year of projects, classes & events awaits!

Meet the educators behind the projects as they share their creations, give you an up-close look at what's coming, and help you discover your next favorite project. Whether you're looking for fresh inspiration, hoping to learn a new technique, or ready to take your stitching to the next level, there's something to get excited about!
Here's why you'll want to join us:
- See what's coming in 2027! Get a first look at our upcoming classes, workshops, special events, and exciting new projects.
- Meet the educators! Many of our instructors will be there to present their own creations and share what makes their upcoming classes special.
- Get inspired up close. See the projects in person, explore the details, and start dreaming about what you'll make next.
- Save your spot in your favorite classes! Be ready to register for the classes and events you're most excited about before they fill up.
Two Sessions. Same Great Preview.
To make room for everyone who wants to attend, we're offering two identical presentations: a morning session and an afternoon session. Choose the time that works best for you when registering. Both sessions will feature the same exciting lineup, so there's no need to attend both!
Your Ticket to the Preview Party
This year, we're moving to a $10 ticketed event. Your registration payment reserves your seat, helping us ensure there's room for everyone. And here's the best part: your $10 ticket will be credited toward a purchase made at AVS on the day of the event!
Space is limited for each session, so be sure to reserve your spot in advance.
We can't wait to welcome you back, share what's in store for 2027, and help you find your next favorite project. Come get inspired and kick off a fantastic new year of stitching with us!

When specified, students should bring machines that are in good working order to class and basic knowledge on how to use the machine.

Classes cancelled by the student prior to the 7 day period can receive a refund or transfer to another class. Class fee is forfeited for cancellations made less than 7 days in advance. No refunds or class transfers will be given after the class begins or for no shows. Classes with less than 2 students will be cancelled and a full refund or class transfer will be given by AVS.
