What is the SNAP Conference?
It’s a three day craft-minded, DIY blogging conference (April 23-25) in Salt Lake City Utah.
What Do You Do There?
Wellllll…there are loads of classes to choose from everything from improving your photography to jewelry making to how to use Instagram…but as for us we spend our entire time in the sewing room and this year there will be not one but two sewing rooms!!!
What? There are 2 Sewing Rooms?!?
Yes! There will be two rooms full of the most amazing Baby Lock sewing machines. One room will be dedicated exclusively to sewing machines while the other will be filled with sergers and embroidery machines. It’s going to be heaven!!! We can’t wait!
What Will Be Going On In the Sewing Rooms?
Classes classes and more classes…along with open sew times….and of course visiting, talking, and more visiting….

LOL Thank you so very much to give me the opportunity to be a possible winner.
I would love to go to SNAP! It wasn’t in the budget this year, so winning, of course, would be ideal! I would love to take any type of clothing class. That is certainly an area of weakness for me.
I so want to win!!!! And I wo love to take a serger class, or maybe even a quilting class!! I have several friends expecting and I wo love to make them some baby quilt keepsakes!!!
I would love to take as many quilting classes as I can. I just started quilting in Februrary and I am completely addicted. I just finished my third quilt and starting my fourth. I need lots of tips and tricks from the experts.
I’m like you, I would love to learn how to do English paper piecing!
I would love to go and just be able to sew!!
Can not wait! And what exciting teachers–I’ve been so inspired by several.
I’m with you. English paper piecing. Thanks!
I would be happy to take any kind of class!
As a beginning quilter, I would love to learn how to hand quilt, machine quilt (including fmq), and bind a quilt. Yes, I have a lot to learn.
I would love to take a serger class – or any garment making class. Fitting, patterning making,
It would be an amazing gift/blessing to win this! It’s something I would never be able to so on my own! I would love to take a class about correct techniques for sewing garments! I am mostly self taught and I would just love the visual of clothing coming together!
I’d love to take a beginner’s quilting class to learn the lingo as well as the sewing process! Thanks for the chance to win tickets! I’d love to see you two again!
Just yesterday I decided I want to learn how to English paper piece. I would LOVE to learn how to do that.
I love all things sewing. I want to learn how to sew on knit fabric like a pro.
So last year I spent almost my entire time in the SNAP sewing room. I loved meeting both the “elizabeths” and Diary of a Quilter and also reconnecting with my friends Kris and Melissa. I am really hoping that I can win a ticket this year so that I can join in the sewing room again. After having a baby last fall, finances are a little tighter this year than normal so I haven’t been able to purchase a ticket yet. I sure hope I can if I don’t win a ticket.
This year I would love to see more quilting type projects and not so many clothing projects. That is where my heart is and where I really want to be. I <3 my sewing buddies! They are the best!
Oh I would LOVE to go to the Snap conference and take a class from any or ALL of the fabulous teachers, just for the opportunity!
Oh gosh, this would be awesome. I’m actually going to be in SLC already to visit family, too! I’d love a class on smocking, fitting, sewing with knits, bag making, ANYTHING really!!

I would love to take a free motion quilting class
I have just learned about this conference. I am just beginning so I need to go to all of the classes. I guess I will just have to start somewhere then come again each year after to keep working thru the classes.
As a quilter I am always looking for ways to develop and hone new skills so some quilting/embroidery classes would be at the top of my list, but I would also love to take a class on how to make my blog more of a priority so that it works for me!
I would love to learn some serging techniques and how to embroider!
I would love a selfish sewing class so I can make something for myself while I am at such an amazing conference!

Appliqué class!!

I’ve always wondered what a Serger does!
I would to take a class on free motion quilting on a domestic machine, or paperless paper piecing. But, I’m sure anything would be super fun!

I’d love to take another pattern-making class!
What a great giveaway! I’d love to take a class on sewing simple clothing items like skirts or dresses!
OOH! I would love to take a class from any of these seamstresses!
Really any sewing class would be awesome! I’m constantly trying to learn. I just started quilting last year so that might be fun, or the serger too.
I would love to improve my dress making skills so my little Sid, my grand daughter will always look fabulous and unique where ever she goes.
I would love to pick the brains of all these talented ladies. Kelly about sewing photography and Mimi G about sewing for herself.
I would for sure do photography. I need some serious help there!
I would love to go to the SNAP conference and take a class with Amy Smart!

This sounds amazing! I would like to learn how to fit patterns better and draft my own patterns better. And take sewing in no mans land photography class!
I am a self-taught stippler, but really need to challenge myself with something other than stippling, so I would love a machine quilting class! Plus to meet some of your famous quilters and pattern designers- I follow so many of their blogs and Instagram posts that meeting them in person would be awesome!

My list is long: free motion quilting, pattern drafting, advanced server sewing, beyond beginner quilting, tailored clothing…..okay, I’ll stop now. If I won this ticket I would be over the moon and would not ask for another thing this year. Meeting the “Liz” sisters would be the frosting on the cake!
I would love to see what Kelly has going on! I love her beautiful blog!!
any sewing class would be awesome, but fitting and creative approaches to mending, restyling and alterations might be fun. been sewing 51 years now and I still don’t know enough!

I would love a class on bra fitting. I’ve made a couple, then lost some weight and the fit isn’t quite right. I’d love to get some expert advice. But really, any sewing class would be useful – i’m all self-taught so to chat to others who sew would just be the best. Thanks so much for the giveaway,
I would LOVE to go and have this experience!! I’d love to find out how to use a serger, and why I would need one. Just being around such creative people and soak it all in…. <3
Wow, what an awesome giveaway! I would love a class on sergers since I don’t have one and am curious about how they work (so many spools of thread!!). Also, classes on alterations would be fun since I have my own little alterations side business.
Oh man. I would take any sewing class from you two! I would even bring salsa;)
I want to learn how to use my serger.
I would love to take a super boring class on seeing machine maintenance! But also one to learn how to use the different feet I have 🙂
i would love to learn how to turn my son and daughter’s baby clothing into a memory quilt. Also, how to quilt, in general. I can sew clothing galore, but quilting intimidates me.
I want to be surrounded by other people that love to blog and sew. Blogging has let me share my interest in sewing and creating, as none of my close friends sew. I would also like to learn how to improve my photography skills to make my blog more interesting.

I would love to know more ways to use my serger and pattern drafting.
I would love to win just for the experience of doing something like that! I’d love to learn anything I could and just be around such talented people!
I would enjoy an “under-things” class; bra and/or panty making, slips, camisoles, etc., and to learn delicate sewing such as lace, velvet, silk, slippery fabrics. What an awesome experience it must be just to BE there!! Good Luck Folks!!
Sounds like fun!
Thank you for the opportunity!
I’d love to be more confident with sewing knits. And I’d really like to start sewing clothing for myself, without looking like I sewed my own clothes!
Oh, I love to make things with fabrics I painted. So a free-form quilting class would be amazing!!! Good luck everyone.
I would love to go to SNAP and learn more about quilting!
I’ve never actually taken any sewing classes, just learned the basics from my grandma. Basics like zippers and cording would be a good start, and I’m always up for a photography class!
Serger! Anything to do with Sergers! And sewing with knits, fitting, slopes, oh I could name so many classes I would love to take!
Can I just take ALL the classes??? 🙂 Just picking one is too hard!
i would love to learn how to sew with knits more confidently…using both the sewing machine and serger.
what a list of teachers! would love the opportunity to hear the girls from A Beautiful Mess. And all the learning on all things making sounds amazing!

I don’t think there is a class I wouldn’t want to take!
I am a lover of all things sewing! I love the quilting ideas you publish and would love to sit in on any quilting class offered. Thank you, thank you for this beautiful blog.
I would love to take a quilting and binding class using a machine. I can piece but the quilting part scares me.
Quilting! I’d love to learn to quilt- but really, I’d love any of the sewing classes!
I would need a beginners sewing class! Its on my list this year to learn how to use a sewing machine. I even have a Pinterest board “should I learn to sew?”
I need a “get over your fear of sewing” class lol! Seriously, I use a Skil saw with no problems, but sit me in front of a sewing machine and I start sweating and shaking!

I would love to take a class with Amanda herring. I’ve attended a few sessions with her and thoroughly enjoyed them.
Would love to learn from her as well as the other creative teachers there!
I came over from Girl.Inspired, and I’m so excited to find out that the SNAP conference is in SLC. Somehow I didn’t know this, but I’m in Idaho and would LOVE to go! I would honestly love to take any sewing class. I love making clothes for my kids, but I’m self-taught, and I really don’t know what I’m doing!
I usually sew alone, and would love to have input on my work. I make mostly softies, but would like to learn how to use an embroidery machine, and make better use of my serger. Plus, I will bring my autograph book and get autographs of the people I follow on blogs and facebook. I am retired along with my husband, who is a sweety, but boy it would be great to have a 3 day’s girls’ night!
I would love any kind of basic quilting class!
I would like to know more about pattern grading
I would love to take a class on using my serger!
I would love a class on upcycling sewing projects, making bras, and using a serger.
I’d love to take a class on jewelry making!
I’d like to take a paper piecing class! This looks like so much fun!
I’ve always wanted to learn bread embroidery. I feel like it had so many possibilities. And winning a ticket to snap would be that of a dream.
I would love to learn free motion quilting and the embroidery machine!!

Oh man. A SNAP ticket?! I would love one!! And the opportunity to go meet up with a bunch of crazy (insanely) talented women? freaking awesome. I’d take any sewing class…seeing how i’m just an amateur!
I would say a serger class. But then again, maybe a sewing class, or a photography class, or really any class that they hold would be fantastic!
I would love to join you at Snap and sew with you both
I would enjoy just being there to meet with and learn from the amazing people I follow on the quilting blogs!
I would love to win and go to Crazy Old Ladies Quilts. It sounds like fun.. Thank you for the opportunity.
I’d love to get more information — when will an agenda be available?
I just received my first serger. I cannot wait to start issuing it. A class, the ultimate class might I add, would be a dream come true. I started sewing for my disabled daughter. Now that she has passed I want to continue the legacy for her and make dresses that are user friendly for kids with feeding tubes and other medical equipment. What a wonderful contest to offer!!!
Looking to expand my crafting, sewing experiences and soak in all the great new folks I could meet!
Blogging and creating a brand are on my mind lately.
Costumes! I go to conventions and would love to get into crafting my own more.
Sewing Room?! I didn’t realize this. I NEED to be there for the Sewing Room! I love it!
The basics. I so want to sew!
I would like to learn all a serger can do!
Oh “SNAP!” This sounds fun. I am interested in serger classes, photography and did I mention learning the serger (eek).
I would want to attend a session on developing your cottage craft business – including hearing about the pitfalls and things to be aware of like how to get started (assuming one is already craft-endowed), developing a business plan, how to identify opportunities and pivoting, business avenues, marketing, tax implications, calculating profit/loss, and expanding the business.
Not sure if you’re still taking entries. This sounds like a dream! Please pick me!
What an amazing giveaway! I would love a class on basic quilting techniques or modern quilting!
A class on embroidery machines would be the best! And also an advanced serging class. Oh, and a class on growing your crafting business….so many to choose from!
A class for quilting on a home machine would be great.
I would love how to use a serger. My mom got one and the instructor she had was not nice so if I learn how then I can teach her how to use it.
