I like Craftsy for many reasons and also the fact that when they update something in a class they let you know so you can go and review it.
I have never had any problems with any of their classes.

If you go to Craftsy, or perform a search for anything and Craftsy is in the search results, you're going to see Craftsy ads. It's not Craftsy, it's Google. If anyone is stalking you, it's Google.
Sorry, it just really bothers me to see a good site with great services blamed for something completely unrelated to them.

So that is about a 50% success rate.

In my case, I did snatch up some that were only $10, but started the first class, it is how to use pre-cuts. I didn't see any indication that it was before I signed up. Yes, I know I can cut my own precuts but I wanted my money back anyway for both of them and I felt like scum asking for it. In another class, a lot of people were mad because they thought they had to buy the instructor's book and pattern and that was not stated until you started the class.
And $20 might not be much to you, but it's a lot to me. I can barely afford this habit I have anyway lol!

But to expect a refund because I decided I didn't like learning it after all is not something I would do. The cost of the class is too inexpensive for that. I'm going to a workshop Saturday about an hour away and it's costing $65.

I can watch when I want and when my interest is down, I can stop until I want to work on this technique again.

I have taken several Craftsy classes. It is a great platform. I love being able to take classes in my jammies. lol I also love the fact that I don't have to lug my machine to class. lol I just signed up for a long arm quilting class so I can be ready when my new machine is delivered.
