Hi, Cheryl! Thanks for asking. The main difference is that with sit & sew workshops, sewing machines are necessary and are provided by sponsoring sewing machine companies; with hands-on classes, no machine is necessary. I hope this helps! Here’s a digital version of the Advance Registration Guide with a bit more information: http://quiltexpo.com/sites/default/files/ARG%202017%20FINAL%20WEB.pdf

Your website regarding the Quilt Expo does not make clear what the difference between Sit and Sew classes and Hands On classes is. Could you please clarify. Thank you
