I don't/won't pay more than $20 for a Craftsy course. More than that and, I agree, the classes are too pricey. I assume you are signed up for the Craftsy newsletter? Subscribers get periodic offers of reduced prices for certain courses that are generally sale priced in the range of $15-30. As someone else on this thread mentioned, some $40 Craftsy classes are available half-off at the Craftsy instructor's own web site. Alternatively, instructors sell their own instructional DVDs (Carol Doak comes to mind but there are many others) and they, too, periodically go on sale and are priced in the $20-30 ranged; DVDs are yours forever, and not dependent on an internet connection. I have bought many Craftsy classes, and most of them are very helpful. Create a wish list and then be patient!
