Class Policies
Trapunto is a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space for all. To ensure that our standards of behaviour are met we reserve the right to ask anyone to change their behaviour or leave if making disparaging, discriminatory, or damaging remarks, or making anyone in our space feel unwelcome or unsafe.
- All classes begin on time; please arrive a few minutes early to set up your work area and to purchase any last-minute supplies.
- Out of courtesy for the instructor and your fellow students, we ask that you turn your cell phone on silent.
- Due to the health and allergy concerns from exposure to scented products, please refrain from wearing scented products such as perfume, hand lotion, body spray, etc.
- Full-day classes do not include lunch. We have a kitchen for you to use with mugs, fridge, microwave, kettle, coffee maker, and water cooler. Please feel free to bring your lunch, store it in the fridge, and make yourself a cuppa.
- Please feel free to park in the lot behind the building. There are no parking fees, nor time limits. There are also plug-ins that you may use in the colder months.
- To guarantee your place in a class payment must be made at the time of registration. You may register through our website or over the phone with a credit card.
- We will ask for your email and phone number so we can keep in touch regarding your class and any changes regarding it.
Classroom Setup
- our classes have a maximum of eight (8) students.
- individual, height adjustable tables that are large enough for individual cutting stations.
- arms-free, padded chairs on castors.
- individual design boards.
- power outlet and power bar for all your needs.
- Pressing station.
- Free use of our counters as well as any rulers, rotary cutters, or any other tools you may need.
Minimum registration: In order for a class to run, we require a minimum of four students enrolled. We reserve the right to cancel a class if we do not get the minimum registration needed. In the rare event we need to cancel a class you are registered in, you will receive a notice of cancellation and full refund of the fees paid.
When you register, you will be able to download a copy of your supply list.
One week prior to the class date you will receive an email reminding you of your class, that email will also include the supply list in case it is buried in your downloads folder.
Please don't buy your supplies until that confirmation email is sent. Once you have the green light, please purchase all fabric, notions and tools prior to your class so you can get started on time.
You are never obligated to purchase supplies from us. If you have supplies at home, please bring them! We encourage you to use what you have. If you do purchase supplies for your class from us, there will be a 10% discount to your class-supply purchase. Woo hoo!
Due to copyright laws, class participants are required to have the pattern or book if applicable. We will indicate if a pattern or book is included in the class fee.
If you cannot attend, please give us a minimum of one week's notice. This will give us time to try and fill your place or, feel free to send a friend. Just let us know.
Cancellations made less than one week before the class start date will forfeit their registration fee unless we are able to fill your spot. We want to ensure that our teachers are compensated for their time and work, and allow students on the waitlist the opportunity to attend. No-shows forfeit any claim to refund.
Pre-Orders
Pre-order items are not currently in stock.
Purchasing a pre-order item means you are reserving the fabric (or other item) by paying up-front before Trapunto receives the fabric from the supplier.
Pre-order listings have an expected arrival date, but it can change which is out of our control. We will update any changes as information becomes available.
When a pre-order arrives, orders will be cut and shipped immediately. Placing a pre-order promises you will get your fabric before anyone else.
---
If you place a pre-order with in-stock items, we will hold your order until the pre-order items arrive.
If you would like the in-stock items to be shipped right away, instead of waiting for pre-orders to arrive, please place a separate order.
FAQ
WE SELL YARDAGE BY THE CENTIMETRE.
Our minimum is 25cm (10 inches x WOF). If you would like a fat quarter, please let us know in your order notes.
Any orders with less than that amount will be refunded and cancelled.
Unless otherwise stated in the product title or description all of our fabric is 100% cotton.
Tips on navigating our website.
- You can search for any theme, colour, brand or item you are looking for using the magnifying glass or the three lines in the top left will open a menu.
- Click on any image to be taken to another page to see what other colours or prints are available.
- You may sign up to receive notifications when a product is stocked by entering your email on the product page of a "coming soon" item.
Why no lettermail option for shipping?
We charge what it costs us to ship packages using weight and dimensions outlined by Canada Post. The products we sell simply do not fit into the letter mail category, nor does it cost $4 to ship, even within the province of Alberta. If we offered this option, we would be losing money and potentially not making any profit on a sale.
Unless you’re purchasing from a huge corporation that has it's own trucks, trailers, and aircraft to be able to undercut every other business and mail carrier, or another large retailer that is able to readily absorb that cost due to massive sales volumes, that small local business is eating the actual cost of shipping to give you that cheaper option. Food for thought when you want to "support local".
When you’ve filled your cart with goodies, start the checkout process by selecting local pickup or shipping and entering your information.
Once your payment is successful you will get an email confirming your order. Processing time varies depending on how many orders we have to pack. When we have finished packing your order you will get another notification saying it is ready to be picked up!
About Us
Trapunto – "to quilt" in Italian (we're not Italian) is a family business located in Edmonton, Alberta which started in 2016 as a way to share our love of quality quilting fabric, hand embroidery, and notions with others.
We are passionate about the brands we carry, looking to bring fresh and unique fabric to Alberta's capital. Our brick and mortar opened in March 2019, and we are so thrilled to be a part of Edmonton's sewing community.
Dorothy is the owner of Trapunto. Her passion for quilting started during summer meetings of the Conjuring Creek Women’s Institute. She already loved fabrics and sewing; therefore, creating quilts became a passion. While working full-time managing super duper, complicated engineering projects cut into time for making quilts; it did allow time to become a knowledgeable quilter. Dorothy currently serves on the Edmonton and District Quilt Guild as Treasurer.
Jamie is our wearer of many hats. Jamie's the one behind this very website and our social media content among other things. While not quite a quilter, she enjoys hand embroidery, video games, and is a member of the Edmonton Needlecraft Guild and joined the executive to oversee Exhibits & the Newsletter.
Karen is our resident longarm quilter. Having been a quilter for ages, she bought her own longarm machine in 2002 going in hard after using her domestic to quilt. Entirely self-taught she's been longarming for a solid decade. We're so happy that the time was right for her to get back into longarming and join our team.
Sandra is our warm and kind friend that brings enthusiasm and joy to what some might consider menial tasks. She is a true fabric enthusiast, keeps our shelves neat, our fat quarters from being naked, and stitches up samples. She is also the Edmonton District Quilt Guild's Librarian.

As a small business, please understand we are not able to compete with large retailers.
Our goal is to offer you the best shipping options, no matter where you live. We deliver to customers across the world and try to ensure that we provide the very highest levels of responsiveness to you at all times.
All flat rate boxes include tracking and on-time delivery guarantee across Canada, varying by destination.

Why no Lettermail option for shipping?
We charge what it costs us to ship packages using the weight and dimensions outlined by Canada Post. The products we sell simply do not fit into the letter mail category, nor does it cost $4 to ship, even within the province of Alberta.
If we offered this option, we would be losing money and potentially not making any profit on a sale. If there is a difference in what Shopify has estimated vs the actual cost to ship, we will refund the difference.
Free shipping over C$200 before tax applies to Canadian addresses only.
