Supply Lists:

To serve you better, we are using downloadable supply lists. These lists are exact lists supplied by the instructor, thereby avoiding typos and omissions when we re-type them for publication. Click on the link below the class description.

Since we do not change supply lists please keep these conference specific items in mind.

1. Personal irons are prohibited. You must use the irons provided by Road to California. Craft, hobby and travel irons are prohibited as well. This is due to the fire hazard & excessive electrical draw caused by outside/additional irons. Thank you for your understanding.
2. If your class is in a room with sewing machines provided, you do not need to bring your own machine. The supply list should have a cover page with a large red STOP sign on the front. Another way to tell is on the class description. It will tell whether you need to bring your own machine, or one is provided.
3. Road to California provides its students with a work area, trash can, irons and ironing boards, and in certain situations sewing machines. We do not provide cutting stations or other misc. supplies. If you have any questions about any supplies, please contact us and we will either answer your question or refer you to the teacher.
4. Please do not pin items to the classroom walls. We provide blue painters tape to affix items to the wall in each classroom.

Registration Fee

The non-refundable registration fee of $40 is required for any class purchase. This automatic $40 charge is added to the first registration per person. In order to not be charged multiple registration fees for a single individual please make sure that when you add classes you add them to the same account. If you create a new account to add another class you will charged another registration fee. If you only sign up for a Special Event (ex Bus Trip or Party Time) you are not charged the $40 registration fee. You will need to buy an admission pass at the show.

This fee is not refundable or transferable under any circumstances. Class enrollees do NOT need to purchase daily admission tickets. As a courtesy we will include a badge for admission to classes, exhibits and vendors, a show program, and entrance to Preview Night. Registrations prior to December 15, 2024 will also receive a special gift, a Road pin and/or year bar. Cancellation of the entire conference registration will result in forfeiture of all courtesy gifts including the entry badge. No exceptions will be made.

Will I get my Conformation via Mail?

No, email confirmation are sent to all registrants automatically after registration. Please check your spam/junk box if it is not there please contact us.

How do I get my Name Badge?

Present your confirmation email at the Registration Desk when you arrive at the Ontario Convention Center. You will be provided your Name Badge, and courtesy gifts (if applicable). If you have lost your email confirmation, you can use your photo ID to receive your badge.

Class Transfer Policy

You may transfer classes until December 30, 2024. Any class transfers will incur a $5 change fee. A $5 change fee will also apply when an attendee executes a cancellation and simultaneously registers for a new class – this is considered a transfer. At least one week (5 business days) must pass in between the cancellation and addition of a new class in order to not incur a $5 transfer fee. An attendee can avoid this fee by cancelling the class by email the Road Staff and enrolling in their preferred class by processing the registration themselves online.

If you’re transferring to a class that has a higher fee than the original class – you are responsible for the difference in price including the $5 transfer fee.

If you’re transferring to a class that has a lower fee than the original class – Road will subtract the $5 change fee from the amount owed and refund the difference to the original payment method.

Your original registration date is the date for cancellation – not the date of the transfer.

Cancellation Policy

In the unfortunate event that you must cancel your registration, we have a percentage based refund policy. Your cancellation date is determined based on the earliest date that the class registration is processed. If you transfer a class, the earliest date of transaction, not the transfer date, is the date we will apply.

Registration fees are non-refundable.
