Interwoven – Membership Terms & Conditions

Our core ethos for Interwoven is about weaving together threads of connection, friendship, and creativity to create a vibrant and enriching quilting experience for all. This document details from the outset the way in which we will deliver our services to you. If you are planning to join Interwoven, (“the Membership”) then you must read these terms and conditions in full prior to purchasing.

1.  Membership Terms & Conditions (‘Terms’): Key Details

These Terms cannot be varied and in proceeding to purchase the Membership you will be deemed to have accepted these Terms. The Terms set out below apply to the services offered by Interwoven. Please read them carefully as they affect your rights and liabilities under law and set out the Terms under which Interwoven (“we”, “our” or “us”) provide services to you, as purchaser of the Membership. These Terms are subject to any rights you have under consumer law to which we are bound and which cannot be waived by contract.

Please be aware that we may update these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Membership indicates your acceptance of the terms and agreement to any changes.

2.  Membership Outline

Interwoven is a membership platform for quilters who enjoy receiving new patterns and meeting with other quilters monthly. The Membership is an ongoing commitment where you can get regular support and guidance.

At its heart, Interwoven values inclusivity, respect, and support for all members, regardless of their skill level or background. It's a place where quilters come together to inspire and be inspired, to share knowledge and learn from one another. Interwoven encourages exploration, experimentation, and the celebration of individual expression through creative quilt patterns and sewing patterns.

3.  Eligibility

This membership is suitable for quilters and sewers who are familiar with sewing, and would like to be inspired with new projects and patterns. Beginner quilters are also welcome.

4.  Membership Specifics

There are four elements to the Membership:

1. Monthly Live Sewing Circle
2. Monthly Quilt Block Pattern
3. Quarterly Bonus Sewing Patterns
4. A Private Sewing Circle Community with Hosted Events

Monthly Live Sewing Circle

The Monthly Live Sewing Circles will be led by Jessica Rose, or someone with similar expertise in quilting and sewing. From time to time, they may also be joined by guest speakers from the industry.

The Monthly Live Sewing Circles will take place online with links to enter the meetings available through the Sewing Circle community and on the home page of Interwoven.

During each Monthly Live Sewing Circle, there will be questions/answers, new projects, sharing of current projects, time to reflect and share, and time to get help with quilting or sewing questions.

The information and guidance shared will be based on the hosts expertise as an international quilt designer, licensed fabric designer, and business owner.

The live sessions will be recorded and made available in the Interwoven membership, where you can view past sewing circle sessions, recordings will be available for a minimum of one year past the recording date. Beyond that, recordings may be removed to make room for more current Live Sewing Circle Videos.

Monthly Quilt Block Pattern

Each month you will receive a quilt block pattern that has picture and written guidance. The patterns can be found in the Interwoven section of the membership. Quilters who take part in challenges can make the block and post a picture to enter the monthly challenge.

Quarterly Bonus Sewing Patterns

In addition to the Live Sewing Circles and Monthly Quilt Block Patterns, a bonus sewing pattern will be made available every quarter (or more often depending). Past patterns will be available to those who join the membership. Patters are free to those who join Interwoven and may include bags, clothing, home goods, décor, or crafts. For the best results you should work through each section of the membership in your own time. Failure to do so may limit your ability to learn from the tips and guidance shared in the live sessions. The content of all resources and training will be provided in English, translations are not available.

Private Sewing Circle Community With Hosted Events

You will have access to a private community to support you during the Membership. The intention of the community is to provide support and a network of individuals at a similar stage of quilting and sewing and who are facing similar challenges.

Members will refrain from self-promtional activities while commenting in the Sewing Circle Community. The Community is meant for connection, sharing, and getting help. When members self-promote, this can make others feel pressured, which is not the aim of the membership. 

From time to Membership hosts, mentors or guides may post and offer support in the Sewing Circle Community but there is no guarantee that posts will be responded to immediately or that any Facebook mailboxes will be monitored.

Please be advised that whilst we hope that you will be able to utilise the Sewing Circle Community, we make no guarantees as to the availability of the group and/or the content within the group at any time. Therefore, always ensure that you have back-up copies of any information shared within the group. 

5.  Behaviour

It is requested that at all times your behaviour towards others is polite and respectful. Should your behaviour be deemed offensive or inappropriate we reserve the right to remove you from the Membership with immediate effect.

Each person is responsible for their own behaviour and we will not be held responsible for the behaviour or actions of any other Members.
