Either that, or if Craftsy becomes more popular and the teacher's rate is divided amongst all the students, it could go down. But having been a web manager for on-line classes, I can attest to the fact that it is not cheap to put these classes on. There are dozens & dozens & dozens of headaches that (ideally) the students never know about because of all the hard work of teachers, coders & web managers. I, too, wish I could afford to take more of their classes, but the quality of some of their classes vs. what I've found on YouTube is night-and-day different. I wish they offered some sponsored classes (a la YouTube) to help make them more affordable, but I know how annoyed many people get at commercials & pop-ups filling their screen every 5 minutes. Still, it would seem to make sense to me that some of these quilting tools companies could come up with some semi-covert way to market their products (like how the classes on TV do it) in a quality forum with High-Res video, good teachers & a single, clear topic. Hopefully they can make that happen in the not-too-distant future.
