I absolutely LOVE craftsy and have learned an enormous amount of info from their classes. I also usually wait for sales but feel they are (for the most part) worth the full price. Yes, some of the info is available on youtube but not all in one place, without ads, not in as much detail and not in a format that is as easy to go back and find things. Also, with craftsy you can post questions for the instructors and get answers. GO CRAFTSY!!!!
