Craftsy
Wanted to share this wonderful information I have been receiving email from Craftsy offering classes for $9.99 with 50% discount. I purchased two (2) already and they are great. One was apron with betz white and quilted tree skirt with Caroline Fairbanks Critchfield. Just wanted to share.

Craftsy will be charging a monthly fee
Anyone wanting to sign up for classes with Craftsy, please do.
This came in my email this morning.
Craftsy to Become a Subscription Service in 2018*
Craftsy, an online provider of video tutorials, will become a subscription service in 2018. The change was announced to instructors earlier this month in a letter from Craftsy's CEO.
Since launching seven years ago, Craftsy has offered an a la carte menu of classes priced between $9.99 and $69.99. The purchase of a class included lifetime streaming access.
In the forthcoming subscription model, customers will be able to stream the entire Craftsy class catalog of 1,300 classes for a monthly fee. They will also be able to purchase a class using an "Own Forever" feature. (According to Craftsy customer service, consumers owning classes purchased since 2010 will continue to have lifetime access to their library.)*
Subscription pricing and other details are not available yet, but competitor Creativebug, acquired in April by Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores, charges a subscription of $4.95 a month. Craftsy, which was purchased recently by Comcast NBCUniversal, says the change to a subscription model is the result of marketplace studies that indicate potential customers feel a la carte pricing prevents them from fully enjoying the Craftsy curriculum.*

I find with Craftsy that I have all the classes I want for now. There can only be so much info on FMQ or piecing or binding, etc and most of that can be found from googling for U-Tube videos. On-Point videos are great and free. I will not do a subscription from Craftsy or Creative Bug.
