I love my Craftsy classes. The instructors are knowledgeable and detailed. You can access your classes anytime, anywhere from the internet and keep them forever.

You save money and get better instruction buy taking the Craftsy classes. The only thing missing is the drive to the class, high fee, loading and unloading your supplies. Putting up with a class member that won't stop talking on her cell phone, and trying to remember everything you need to finish the project when you get home. LOL. I do enjoy the social of the physical workshops but I like Craftsy better. I lost count of the number of classes I bought from quilting to baking. I haven't returned one yet.

But there are some things in quilting that are better shown in videos, so there's a trade-off.
A couple of my classes have included the instructor's eBook version of a printed book. I already had Allie Aller's crazy quilting book; when I enrolled in the class I got the exact same book in a digital download. With Carol Doak's paper piecing class, I got an eBook of paper piecing patterns. I can't remember if that was one of her published print books or not.

Before enrolling you can check out the topics covered and all materials included for download.

So true! Fellowship is nice but when you really want to learn then you can't beat one-on-one instruction.

I have most of the quilting classes. Have learned something new from every one of them. I try to get them when they are on sale--usually $19.99 but once in awhile they are $14.99. There is a Craftsy blog that has lots of info and free patterns for various crafts on Friday.

I love the classes but can no longer watch them on my Kindle -- I hope they can come up with a solution soon for this problem.
