I don't know about your area, but in ours classes run about $15/hr and you are getting less instruction as you have a class full and many different levels or expertise so the teacher is addressing those as well as giving you instruction. So for a class on a particular quilt the classes run about $90 (two 2 hr sessions) and you can't rewind those or view later. I think the Craftsy classes are well worth the money They have sales every so often wait and sign up for one then and see how you like it.
