I received an answer from Bluprint about why I couldn't watch that Jan Krentz class for free. It seems "all classes free" is a lie; they're not all free. Here is the customer service answer I received:
"Classes that are not included with our Bluprint subscription, from our partner The Great Courses, and classes that include a printed pattern are not available to watch for free at this time. The class you are referencing isn't available in our Bluprint subscription and is only available to purchase."
I honestly don't understand how they feel free to advertise all classes are free without a subscription.

Peggi, I agree with you. I'm almost sorry I even mentioned it. I thought it would be a great idea for people as so many of us are in the house until further notice. I have a subscription but I'm going to let it go when it's renewal time. They haven't added any good quilting classes in a long time.

They just renewed my subscription for $75.00 and 12 classes to keep.
Not sure if I want to keep it though. I've already gotten 12 free classes last
year and not sure if I want any more. I'm getting disappointed with them.
I liked it better when they were Craftsy.

SusieQOH, it was sweet of you to let us know of this offer. They have apparently extended the date, because now their website says you can watch free until 4/16.
There are plenty of classes to watch for free! I like Marti Michel's and ByAnnie's classes. Annies are instruction on some of her patterns, so you'd have to have her patterns first (that sell for about $10 each).
I saw that the one year subscription was cut down to $39.99 too, about half price.

Because then you would have the class to watch forever, not just during the time period you are a member.

Everything I have clicked on to watch has been free. I have been watching tutorials on my Janome 8900 as I bought mine from CL and not from a dealer, so no free classes with it. I did inquire with the dealer about the classes when I originally purchased it, $200, so I have never gone. I have actually learned about some features I was unaware of how to use. Also, been watching Angela Walters with no problems. Enjoy everyone while we are all hunkering down.
