Is there a code to use for the free class?

I loved the Cindy Needham class, too. She made "trying FMQ" doable. I have a small wall hanging I did after her class that I just love. I was amazed at what I was able to attempt after watching the class.

No, sorry. That's why I had referred to it as a gift. It is a link in an email that came direct from JAF & once you use it, it's used up. The link took me to a special website where everything on the site was free. Once you pick a class, it becomes an invalid link.

I get these kinds of offers fairly often for JAF partners. I'm not sure if it's from being on their regular email list, or for being a VIP member (VIP membership is free is you belong to a quilt guild that issues membership cards or any of the major quilting organizations like AQS).

I heard Jacqueline Gering at a guild meeting, and saw some of her quilts. Then I purchased Creative Quilting with Your Walking Foot (Jacquie Gering) and really enjoyed it. I have quilted a quilt using one of her techniques, and made some placemats also using her techniques and loved them both. Mind you that course doesn't fulfill your desires of finding a course for fmq or hand quilting! But I personally got a lot out of it.

I decided to take a crochet class. Something different and portable.

This is for new customers to craftsy...if you already belong, no free joann offer.

Too bad they are not clear on the 48 hrs. I received my email just after 2pm, free classes are no longer free.

I would not take the class by Wendy Butler Berns - did not like it. Lori Kennedy has 2 classes and she is great for beginners. I would not attempt ruler work if you are a beginner. Cindy Needham is awesome but think you might want a little more experience before tackling her work. There are tons of videos by Leah Day on Youtube and she is really good also. If you have $70 to spend, wait till the classes go on sale for $19.99 and you can get quite a few. They go on sale often so you won't have to wait too long. I have over 100 Craftsy classes and really enjoy their classes!! Bet you will become a Craftsy addict too!! LOL!!

I know it said that, but I tried it anyways & it was no problem. All I did was log into Craftsy & then click on the free offer link in the email. It let me sign up & added the free class to My Classes.

Thanks! I'll have to put that on my wish list. It's not FMQ, which is mainly what I do because I'm not very good at working with my walking foot (although that may be in part because I love high loft cotton batting). I thought maybe either learning to quilt with rulers on DSM or figuring out how to make better use of my walking foot -- I really hate having to turn heavy quilts so many times -- might give me more options for beautiful modern straight line quilting. :)
