I remember when it was free. Then Fons and Porter bought it and now it costs.
It is a great site for learning to quilt and has so many videos it takes a long time to see them all. So it is worth it for beginners. It is the way I learned to quilt.
Quilterstv is a great site but it started having problems and got impossible to watch. Will have to check it out again and see if it is again watchable.
http://quiltinaday.com has lots of free videos in the television/video section.
