I do not have a local quilt store near so I signed up for the classes and, as a new quilter, loved them. They were well worth the $29. to me. I so enjoyed the instruction that I went through most of the lessons the day I signed up. I have gone back several times to look at lessons again. I did not feel that she was trying to sell her products. I made a notebook of printouts that came with the lessons. Again, for me, it was money well spent. If you are an experienced quilter, you do not need the lessons.
