I think a Craftsy class is a good idea. You will be exposed to a variety of elements, you can watch the class as many times as you like, and they are interactive, so you can ask questions and get the support you need. I also think a good book is important. When I taught school, I told my students that if you can learn to read, you can learn anything you want. When I started quilting, I bought a book and taught myself. But it much more fun sharing with a group, even if it a Craftsy class. Good luck :-)
