Classes

I have taken several from free to paid and have really enjoyed most of them. They run sales a lot, so I always try to wait until the class I want is on sale before I sign up for it. I like the fact that I can watch them at my convenience and I can replay them as often as I like. I can bookmark certain places as a reference, as well. The thing I think I like the most about them vs. a live class is that the camera zooms in on the stitching so you can really see what is going on. In a live class, that is much harder to do. You can still ask questions in Craftsy classes, and read everyone elses questions and responses as well. The biggest disadvantage though is that you don't get an immediate response to your question and that you don't have an instructor right there over your shoulder to help you when you get stuck. Of course, they have bunches of classes in topics other than quilting too, but I've pretty much only taken the quilting courses.

I am on my second class by Ann Peterson and enjoy these very much. I like being able to put aside the class to work on other projects, and then pick right back up where I left off. Can't do that taking a class at a shop!

I love Craftsy classes. I am enrolled in 18 classes. Several were free workshops for basic stuff. Of course, I have both of Jenny's. I also have Precut Piecing Made Simple, and while it does use precuts in each project...most of them aren't what I would consider simple, unless you have plenty of quilting experience. We should provide our Craftsy username and follow each other. I love to see what classes and projects everyone is doing, even the non-quilting ones, it's inspiring. I am Breezed on Craftsy too.

Also, there are so many free patterns on Craftsy and they run some really awesome sales on supplies too. I love this platform.

I enjoy Craftsy classes. The most current one I took was a class by Joanna Figueroa from Fig Tree Quilts and it was called something like Fresh Easy Quilts. I love that class and want to make every quilt she taught. Her fabrics are just gorgeous and she's a great teacher. I have taken both of Jenny's Quilting Quickly classes, an Eileen Roach machine embroidery class and several others. There are also a few nice classes offered free ... not to mention the free BOM classes.
