I've done a lot of the classes. I wait till they go on sale, usually under $20. I find that there are lots of good information in the class, plus you do have the option of asking the instructors a question. Also they stay up and do not expire which for me is good. I usually go for the technique classes rather than the ones that have a specific pattern. I can't get to regular classes at a shop etc as have handicapped hubby and can't get away.
