I've enrolled in several classes through Craftsy... love the classes and their website, which is extremely easy to use. Like someone mentioned above (forgot who!), I only sign up for the classes when they run a sale; I have never paid full-price. It's easy to get yourself on their mailing list so that you receive the special offers when they run. I'm a member of the Quilter's Club of America and get lots of great offers through them also.

For Stitchlady - Yes, the classes are entirely online (you do not get a disc, nor can they be downloaded for offline viewing). They are in "chapters" so you can watch as little or as much as you want at one time. The website remembers where you left off, and it will take you right back there - very nice feature. You can interact with the instructor and other students through a message-board-like setup. There's a place to post pictures of your completed projects also. The Jenny Doan classes are WELL worth the money. She's a pretty awesome teacher!

If you need to know anything else, just post and I'll try to answer.

I have signed up and completed both of the Quilting quickly classes by Jennie Doan and felt that both were well worth the money. I can refer to them any time. She uses the pre-cuts and specialty rulers but what you learn you can adapt to your own ideas and supplies. That said, I've ordered one of her templates and some charm packs to make a table runner because it will be so much quicker to make! Have also signed up for the FMQ class by Wendy Butler Burns to give me the confidence to try it on my Janome 6600. That's my challenge for 2012. Am about half way thru that class and have been pleased with the info I've gotten. Also, besides owning the class, you can submit questions and usually get an answer by the next day.

I am terrible at taking on line classes ~ Quilting or otherwise. I get too distracted by whats going on around me and end up not following through. I am a hands on person and can go somewhere to take classes all day long. The funny thing is..I like watching You Tube and learning. I think my problem is..I know more than I think I do and get bored with the details..but it is the details that make the classes. I guess for me I need to chance my way of thinking and just slow down. I have seen a few classes on Crafty that sparked an interest. =)

With Craftsy, there it is money-back if it's not for you.
But it looks like the $20 special is over for now

I have signed up for several quilt related classes on Craftsy, and I love them. The first I signed up for was $19.99 and the others were $19.99 with a buy one get one free special during December. I think if you join their web site they will begin to send you information when they run specials. I find the videos well done and I love that I can add my own personal notes (or bookmarks) any time I like during a video. It helps me find a technique I would like to remember.

The Sew-Cal-Gal blog is running a FMQ challenge this year, with an emphasis on improving FMQ. It is not an 'online' class but tutorials. It could be helpful though. Here is the link http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com/p/free...challenge.html

I have bought both of Jenny Doan's on Craftsy for half price and I loved them. Play them over all the time. Made three quilts that she made. I also purchased the Free Motion Quilting class but have not tried it yet. Her price was cheap so I bought it.

I have done the quilting Quickly classes with Jenny . I thought they were well done. I really like the fact that you can access them any time forever.

I have taken the two Jennie Doan classes on Craftsy. I sign up for classes there when they are $19.99. I love the Jennie Doan classes and feel they are well worth the money. I am almost through with the free motion quilting class on Craftsy. I have learned so much from that class already! I have signed up for the paper piecing class; but have not started it yet. Since I have trouble getting to classes at my LQS, these on line classes are perfect for me. I do watch the free quilting YouTube videos; but like the classes on Craftsy better.

I've recently purchased this machine quilting class with Wendy Butler Berns and it is very informative, you can also put the video on pause and there is a place to take notes, when you write a point down it marks the time on the video, so if you want to go back and access that part of the instruction later you can. Also, there is a box to ask questions or make comments, you just have to watch when you are taking notes that the Ask a question box hasn't popped up or your note-taking will appear in the question panel! I have to purchase a walking foot, she does some designs with it before you get into the darning foot and FMQ. I'm enjoying it and there is a wealth of information there, plus a glossary of quilting terms. She is demonstrating while she is explaining so you get the visual as well as the auditory instruction. The lessons are in chapters and there is a menu. They also answer the questions in a timely manner and there are other students that can respond to your inquiry too.
