Accreditation Program
This is a 2 part program which consists of a grid to be filled in with specific shapes and then a piece you design using those shapes.
We cannot emphasize enough that accreditation is a personal choice that individual quillers may make if they choose to pursue the program. No quiller will be required to participate, and it will NEVER be used as a criterion for membership in the NAQG.
Important Dates
- Applications ONLY accepted: November 1 to November 30.
- Accreditation is open to applicants within their third consecutive year or more of NAQG membership.
- Deadline for submission of pieces for accreditation assessment: MUST be received by registration officer no later than February 28.
- Accreditations announced by end of April or early May.

TIPS
- Practice ALL the shapes on the Shape Identification Chart to “perfection”
- WAY too much glue showing…can’t stress this enough !!!!!
- Overall poorly made shapes
- Overall Uneven shapes
- Huge crimps in centers of coils (you may use whatever tool you wish but if a slotted tool is chosen please minimize the “crimp” in the center as much as possible)
- Large center holes in shapes
- Uneven tension used when rolling coils, makes shapes appear “lopsided”
- Good work on grid but sloppy work on the design submission piece (or vice versa)
We hope this helps and we wish you success if you choose to apply for the NAQG Accreditation Program now or in the future.
