Who received the e-mail today from Craftsy (now Bluprint) and what do you think?

I love Craftsy/Bluprint classes and will stick it out with them. I've tried other venues and they just didn't click with me.
I currently have an annual membership for Bluprint and about a week ago I received an email that my membership just got better -- they were providing 12 free classes to me (3 per quarter) through the next year. These classes are mine to keep if I don't re-up with an annual membership.
Also, they were offering 12 free classes if you signed up for a new membership last month (same 3 per quarter).
It sounds like you may still be able to purchase individual classes.
But there are some major changes happening. I got some too good to be true savings on tools and fabric throughout December. It leads me to believe they are re-vamping items they will be selling.

I enjoy the classes on Bluprint and often have a class playing on my Ipad while working on projects in my sewing room. I am not worried about the ones I have purchased from Craftsy as I believe they will make sure you will always have access to them...that’s what they guaranteed when you purchased them. Otherwise, they would have to refund your money right?

AUQuilter, I am very interested in how you downloaded the Craftsy class. I am frequently in a situation where I do not have internet, and would love to still be able to watch my classes during those times. You can pm me if necessary. Thanks ahead of time.

I feel the same way. I have all of their quilt classes and haven't seen anything new that shows anything differently. I like the On Point u-tube videos that give a lot of instructions.

I too have purchased classes and patterns from them before the company change. I can say as recently as 2 days ago I received a email telling me a designer had made a change to one of my patterns. So the notification came through about an already purchased pattern, so I think there will continue to be access for us.

quilterdunn, I believe the only option (if it still exists) is to download on an IOS device (iPad). They took away our ability to download classes to computers a few years ago, and then removed the ability to download on Android.
I have downloaded a class to my iPad but it's been quite a while, so I'm not sure if they have also discontinued that option.

I am assuming the old Craftsy format wasn't suitable to maintain as it was for future growth or profit.
I joined and paid Bluprint subscription last year. I saved more then the subscription cost me this last year on fabric and notion sales. Plus the $25 credit to use to buy anything from the site. I hope they keep the incentives to join. I got layer cakes for $10, charm packs for $3, yardage, notions, kits and thread at fantastic prices and all free shipping. It's worth it to me.
