Have you tried the free You-Tube tutorials?

I have taken a number of classes from craftsy. I wait until they are on sale. They also have free mini classes that are nice, free! Try one to see if you like the format. The classes work good for me!

I've bought several - but only as others advise, when they half price or near to it - and then they are excellent value.
Even experienced quilters can learn from how others do things, and there are many useful tips and hints, and alternative methods. Yes there is a lot on You Tube, but with the classes you do have access to the teacher with any questions or queries and they are answered in detail quickly plus the subject is dealt with in far more detail, sometimes with back-up PDF info, and I've also discovered some notions I didn't know of, not being a resident of the USA - and also how some teachers use "non" quilty bits & pieces in their work.
It is useful to read the reviews before buying...they are helpful to judge if a particular class is for you or not. I've been pleased with the ones I have.

They are certainly worth it! However, I've never paid full price for a class. Sign up for Crafty's e-mail list and you'll get plenty of good offers. Also, many of the teachers of their classes have blogs where they will offer a better price if you click through their link... you could look at the classes and then google the teachers' names that you're interested in, find their websites and maybe get a good discount!

I watch Craftsy classes on my old computer that runs XP with no problems. There were some issues at first but I installed the Chrome browser (just for Craftsy since I use Firefox for everything else) and followed the suggestions from the Craftsy technical folks. My suggestion is to send Craftsy an email and ask them what you need to do to watch their videos with the XP operating system. It's worth the effort.

I have not taken any of the "pay for" classes. All that I have taken for "free" were great. The best part is, if you need to go back to see something again, it has a 30 second review, which has been a great help.
