Frequently asked questions

Where can I enter the contest?
The contest can be found here.

Why don’t I see the entry form on the contest page?
The form could be disabled if you’re blocking cookies (first- or third-party) or have JavaScript disabled. Try using another browser or computer/device, such as your phone or tablet.

How do I know if I have completed an entry method?
Completed actions (methods to gain entries) are indicated by checkmarks in place of the action value. For example, if you answer one of the mandatory questions, you’ll gain the entries shown for that action and the entry count will be replaced with a checkmark.

What is the prize for winning this contest?
We are giving away one new Ellie longarm quilting machine and Halo table, valued at $7,995.

Can I use multiple email addresses to improve my chances?
No. Only one email address is allowed per person. We run multiple security checks and any attempt to subvert the contest will result in instant disqualification.

Why do I see a message about having too many entries?
This can be caused by using the same internet (IP) address or being in the same range (group of IP addresses) as someone else who entered. Using certain VPN software or VPN locations can also show this error. Try entering from another device that uses a different internet connection, such as your phone with Wi-Fi disabled. Data rates may apply.

Why do I keep having to fill out the initial form?
There are several factors that could prevent you from staying logged into the contest, including using different browsers, browsing in incognito/private mode, having cookies disabled or running security software or browser extensions that affect the contest’s operation. We cannot assist with these issues but if you use the same email address each time, you will receive credit for your entries.

I referred my friend but did not get credit. Why not?
To receive credit, your friend must click the referral link and complete at least one contest action that is worth entries. Some factors that could impact this are using an older browser, disabling cookies, and browsing in incognito/private mode. We are unable to assist with referral issues due to the complexity involved.

Do I have to register online to win?
No. You can enter via mail. Please see the Contest Rules for details.

Do I need to pay taxes on the prize if I win?
Most likely, although some locations have laws against this. Look up sweepstakes taxes for your state/country for more information.

How will you contact me if I win?
You will be contacted using the phone number you provided while entering the contest. The call will come from a “515” area code sometime between when the contest ends and May 3, 2024. If we cannot reach you via phone, we’ll send you an email.

What are my chances of winning?
That depends on the total number of entries received. Be sure to complete all actions to maximize your chances.
