I have taken the Free Motion Quilting Course and think that it was a very good investment. I would definitely recommend their courses.

I have the first class for beginners, very easy to follow and great info and just bought the Quilting Quickly II because it was only $19.99, half price. I recommend them. Once you buy them you can assess them anytime, no time limit.

Thanks for the thread. I've thought about taking classes a few years ago, but was afraid to committ due to my crazy schedule. At that time, if you didn't take the class when it was offered you lost out. It's nice to know some sites allow you to keep your class and go to it when you have time. I'll have to check them out again.

I also bought Jenny's 2 courses and the machine quilting. I love them. I also got them on sale.
|
Thank you for the information about on-line classes. Maybe I will get brave and try one.

I have taken 2 classes from Craftsy.com and enjoyed both of them. Easy to follow and you can watch them over and over and over. I paid $29.99 per class and thought it worth the price.

Bought Quickly quilting I and II, but have not had time to sit and watch them yet. Bought both as gift to myself for Christmas. Hubby didn't know what to get me so I said I would like to get these and he said "go for it". Love when he agrees with me.

I too bought the FMQing and Jennie Doan's classes. I've viewed the classes, but won't get started "learning" until after the first of the year. I like the pace and the structure of the presentations. I also like that I can refer to them as often as I want to and at my own pace. As others have said, it is difficult to comment to the regular schedule of "real" quilting classes. Seems like life always gets in the way. At $19.00 it was worth it to me.

I've taken two classes on Quilt University online. I think they were worth every dollar spent. I learned so much about design and the other, screen printing was very good too. Money well spent. Also there is a large class offering, something for every type, style of quilter.

I purchased the Machine Quilting class taught by wendy. I have found it to be very informative and some good tips. There is also a place to take notes while she is talking--the instruction pauses while you are typing a note. You can also ask her questions and she will give you an answer shortly.

I wish there was a class on using a strait stitch machine on a frame.
Long arm classes just wont do since Im using a 9 in throat machine on a frame. It has alot of limitations. Quilting classes are fun to watch on the Quilt In A Day website where they film Eleanor Burns teaching classes. It is free by the way but it is not an on line class you take. http://quiltinaday.com Go to the television/video button. |
I bought three of these at the end of December. Bought the Quilting Quickly on sale for $29.00 then Craftsy sent me an email and I could buy any of the other ones for $19.00. Bought Quilting Quickly II, Machine Quilting and Knitting Lab. Viewed the Quilting Quickly for about 10 minutes. Jenny is so good at teaching. I also viewd the knitting lab for about 15 minutes. (I know how to crochet, but set a goal of learning to knit this year!). I think they are worth the money. You have them for a lifetime and can view them as often as you want. Splurge on yourself. I made so many things for Christmas this year, I felt like splurging on myself for a change. Anyway, the splurge will end up as a handmade gift for someone!
