Default Classes at Craftsy?

I have so far used a free pattern at Craftsy to make a quilt. I am considering taking an online class. Have you taken a quilting class at Craftsy? What class did you take? Would you recommend it?

I've taken 3 or 4. Loved one & have gone back and reviewed it several times. Another one was a rehash of her book, got a few more tips, but most info was in the book, still I thought it was worth the money. The rest were pretty good. I signed up for one and after the first lesson I knew it wasn't for me. No problem getting a refund, so you can be comfortable signing up.
Wait until they are half off!!!!!

I have taken quite a few classes from Craftsy and loved them! Now to clarify, I have only taken machine quilting classes (not any piecing) and I have learned a ton. I have been fmq for many years and have difficulty in finding local classes to teach advanced techniques in fmq. Craftsy has filled that void. I highly recommend them and have purchased classes as gifts for my quilting friends.

I agree, wait for a sale. It's worth it!

I've taken a crap ton of classes there and liked all but 1 which was too basic for me. Not the classes fault.

Love craftsy classes! They offer a money-back guarantee, so it's totally no-risk to you. I always wait for a sale to sign-up -- more money for fabric!

Like 21quilter, I've concentrated on their classes on machine quilting. The refund policy is so good that you can't lose - if you don't like the class, ask for a refund.

I've taken most of their quilting classes. I have enjoyed and learned from virtually all of them. If you have questions about a specific class feel free to PM me with your question and I'll try it answer it.

I am currently taking the Quilting big quilts on a small machine with Ann Petersen. I was worried that I wouldn't learn anything new but I really have, I'm glad I bought the class.

I have taken a lot of classes. Many are very good..but also know most likely will not do them or already know how. But interesting to see how others do it. The best ones for me were the classes on sergers since its hard to find classes and when they are offered the drive is an hour...and expensive. I paid under 20.00 on craftsy and worth every penny.
