have you tried??
 

Has anyone tried membership in Quilters Club of America recently? I paid for membership for a couple of years, then they changed hands and their service wasn't as good as before, now I'm thinking about it again, just for the QNTV mostly. But I quit paying dues cause I didn't get my membership card as promised for the discounts they offered among other things, I wonder how they are now and if anyone recommends them. Since there are no quilting shows on tv any longer I miss those. Thanks to everyone and hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

Sorry, I haven't tried their membership.

I USE to be a member. I loved the magazines that I got.

But like you said they changed and getting anyone to reply
to emails, or on the phone is near impossible now (or at least
that was my problem last year).

I prefer the AQS (American Quilter's Society). Cost is $25 one
year, $46 for two years, and $69 for three years.

i see a sale on AQS for the membership... $20.00 for the first year https://www.americanquilter.com/prom...bership/?p=A5Z

Will have to see if this can be added to my current subscription, or
if this is only for new members.

Do you get access to QNNTV with AQS? I can subscribe to QNNTV but currently it's nearly $6 monthly & that's basically why I would consider subscribing to Quilters Club again but I also want the perks if I pay for them and they're supposed to be included in the membership. I looked on AQS webpage but I couldn't find any reference to QNNTV. Thanks for the input.

I have found many of the quilting videos on youtube that are on the paid subscription sites. Honestly I can find more quilting shows on youtube then I can watch. I was a charter member of QCA but didn't renew after a few years. What they advertised never materialized for me.

I renewed at this rate. Got a free book and $10 gift certificate for AQS store. Great deal I saw online a few weeks ago.

To clarify, AQS & QNN-tv are not connected. I belonged to Quilting Club of America several years ago but never felt I got my money's worth. Finally canceled & they gave me my money back. Seemed like a good deal but never could get the videos to work right and contacting them was frustrating. Don't know anything about them now.

there are so many places on the internet

I thought the difficulties I had with Quilter's Club of America were just me but now I see, it was wide spread. So I dropped my membership. I belong to AQS and like the Craftsy classes, MSQC and Youtube.

I joined a fe it, I was told that the purchase didn't qualify for some reasor or another, just like trying to use the cupon, always on sale and it voids the cupon.
w years ago just for the 20% discount for Joanns, but every time I tried to use

Yeah after posting that I went and renewed membership.

I love AQS. A great magazine and online reference for quilters of all types. I mostly found QCOA to be advertisements for buying kits. Not my style.
peace

YouTube has thousands of quilting videos, Eleanor Burns has her videos available free online and so do so many others, I gave up all of my subscriptions and don't miss them or the piles of magazines stacking up because I just can't throw them away after the expense. Just my thought.

Thank you very much for the tip about AQS $20 for the first year! I just signed up as a new member. I understand from a coworker that AQS is very good and she always belongs. Also, hope to go to a quilt show in February in Daytona Beach and the tickets are slightly discounted for AQS members which is nice.

Does anyone know if AQS accepts Paypal? I didn't see it as one of the payment options.

The Quilt Show also has videos. They are not affiliated to QCA. They were having a special. Also, AQS has started iquilt, but I haven't tried it.

PAMAR, you could contact them and ask: http://www.americanquilter.com/about_aqs/contact_us.php

I DID NOT renew as I found more information on You Tube than they provided. It's mostly hype. IMHO

I was a member of QCA for several years, but there are so many free quilting videos on YouTube and Nancy's Notions, etc. that I didn't renew my membership when it came up last summer. I also enjoy the Craftsy classes. They have 50% off sales all the time. Sometimes even more than 50%. When I see a class I am interested in, I add it to my wish list and wait till they have it on sale to buy it. When you buy the class, it is yours for life. You can watch it as often as you want.

I was a charter member of QCA, and am still a subscriber, mostly to get the free membership in QNNtv, but the last couple of years, I have been to busy with other things to watch Quilt Out Loud, which was my favorite QNN show, so I'm planning to drop QCA as well.

careful how you pay even through paypal because if you don,t want to renew there QNN membership they,ll still go to paypal and charge your card even if you didn,t want too renew ,i had problems with Qnntv.com charging my card till paypal help me remove them for me and gave me back my charge money

Like VaQuiltgal, I belonged to QC of America and also felt it was not worth the money. The JoAnn's discount only applies to regular priced items and since I always use coupons, didn't get any benefit. Likewise, contacting them was a nightmare...weeks of no response and the phone # never worked.

I agree with the earlier poster. You can get everything for free on line now. You can even get quilting magazines on zino for free - I get it free through my public library account.

If you are really wanting to get QNN-TV you don't need to get
a subscription to QCA to get it.

Found the following and thought I would shareQNNTV

even tho they advertise over 500 videos there were only 7 shows that offered free videos and there was as many as 12 lessons to make a quilt with each lesson being a separate video. All others were charged individually mostly $5.99 per one video. $7.99 monthly for all videos. Could get pretty costly, even tho QCA's perks are non-existent and service is lousy, you still get access to QNNTV for $30 annually. Still weighing, not satisfied with Youtube, so many are hard to understand, short usually just a few minutes, advertising a product they're selling, or old or outdated. I have bought several tutes on Craftsy but I have been burned even by those as you don't know till you've paid if it's repeats of something you already know. Beginning to think I'm just hard to please. lol

Nah, just hoarding money for more fabric, like the rest of us dear.....
