I just got an e-mail from AQS for a 40% discount on an internet quilting series by Missouri Star Quilting Co. called Quilting Quickly; consisting of 9 episodes for I believe it was $29. Has anybody ever done these and would it be worth the money? I love their little hints and tips, but don't know if this is just a gimmick. I don't want them to become like Fons & Porter (too famous for their britches).

Hold out on it a few days. I was there and started to sign up but got sidetracked. Got an email from them a few days later and got it for $19. I don't know if it is worth it or not but....what's another $19 when you are trying to learn. I've only watched the intro video so far.

sounds interesting

let us know if you buy it and if it is worth the price

Is this it?

The board won't accept the link name at all.


It's s y m p o z dot com (remove spaces)

I got the link through AQS (American Quilters Society). I checked out the samples and it looks like it is the shortcuts we get for free, and a bunch of hints for using precuts. I won't waste my $29. I can buy a pack of charm squares instead.

From what I could tell it looks like all of Missouri Quilt Company's free tutes. I think it might be buyer beware.

You probably can find everything you need to know on Youtube for free.
Or google or here. Really I can't see the need to spend money on some
basic videos. I'd rather spend my money on fabric. JMHO. :-D

My thought too. It kind of reminds me of how Fons & Porter got started. I won't buy anything with their name on it any more. I hope she isn't getting visions of grandeur.

I love the class. I am in the process of making a quilt from Jenny using her techniques and I for one can tell you. For the price of the class you get a lifetime of knowledge but one of the industries best quilters. Her explanations and light bulb moments ...are priceless. I am not only thrilled and blessed to have this course I cannot wait til her next session comes out. You also get to learn at your own pace and it never expires....just how many places can you do that? Jenny is also very interactive so if you have a question ask away she loves it...Ive been to many classes as our sewing store here in town and this by far....is EXCELLENT with the only time constraint being what you decide it is .....Take the class ..you wont be disappointed :)

Read my reply to another person. Its well worth the money :)

I agree with Laura! The classes are awesome and well worth the money. Once you join the class, you can watch the classes over as many times as you need (I do this to keep the information fresh) you can post on the forum board to ask questions of the instructor or other "classmates" or post your comments. Take the class on your own time.

It is kind of strange that this board will not accept a post with the name of the site offering the quilting classes. LOL What's up with that? Anyway, it's w w w . S y m p o z . com . Great classes, well worth the time and cost!

I thought the classes were awesome and good value (I paid $19.00). I found that the photography was clearer and better quality as compared to the UTube videos. I also liked that you could ask / post questions and re-watch the lessons multiple times if you wished. I actually rewatched a particular segment again when I was binding my recent quilt and successfully utilized the technique taught. I can hardly wait until the next series premiers. I understand that filming begins this month. Try it.

I've taken the class and learned quite a bit from it. Jenny has such a great personality. The course videos go into A LOT more detail than the Youtube videos, and the best part for me what the fact that she's really active on the site. I've been able to ask for clarification or for help when I tried something that didn't work quite right, and Jenny is quick to respond with answers.

I too only paid the $19. I think if you know someone who's taken it, you can get a discount by going through their link. That's the way I understood it. Anyway, my quilting has gotten 10 times better since taking the course, and I still go back to it for help.

I'd like to do this class, but I don't understand how to get the $19 fee. Is there a code or a link for the discount?

I've gone over my emails and found the original email they sent me. It came with a link "to share with your friends" for the $19 price. If anyone would like it, I'd be glad to send it through private message. Unless, of course, that breaks a forum rule I'm not aware of. If you'd like my link, just pm me.

Why would you expect people or companies to stay stagnant?

Don't worry ladies!! We are keeping Mom (jenny) real. LOL, we tease her that she needs a be-dazzled star on her bathroom door, but beyond that she is the same! We still plan on doing all the other free tutorials and videos just the same as we have done all along. :) Thanks for the kudos. Have a great day!
