Bluprint isn't just about quilting. It has a variety of classes. Honestly there can't be a new quilting class every month, not that many techniques to learn about. Craftsy sent me some spools of their thread to try and it seems to be the same as Aurifil, and the last sale it cost more then the Aurifil. Either one is fine with me, whichever is on sale.

IMHO
I have Craftsy Classes and it was nice being able to buy Only what I was really interested in. Now?? Not so much, There is so much free on the internet that I would have to be ready to toss money at them. I'm not interest in Cake Decorating, Photography, how to make paper mache etc. Paying a subscription for all the stuff I don't want is not good used of my money. I was, however, willing to pay money for specific classes. Not a lot of new stuff anymore anyway.

I refuse to buy into "Blueprint"...first like many above "no new classes added" and I already have all the classes I'm interested in having. Probably more then I should since I've lost interest in making big quilts and onto Landscape quilting and art quilts. I've written them numerous times asking them to add new techniques in these areas and just new classes...as all see Crickets...same old, same old. So nope...everyday I get emails trying to get me to sign up. No Thanks

I've heard the same thing. I just wish I could down load my classes that I had purchased which should be allowed since we are supposed to own them for life. But with this new Blueprint, I'm feeling the life expectancy for my access to my classes will be a short one.

I joined last month and got this free along with three free forever classes of my choice each quarter.

I got a subscription last year with an offer of 4 25.00 coupons. It was a good deal but there were no new quilting classes. I wrote with suggestions. via Craftsy I already own 100 classes. I just never found anything I wanted to watch as they changed to Bluprint. It seemed as if they began to focus on telling the story of individual quilters in their Patchwork Nation - no offense but I don't want to watch the personal life of individual quilters. I know quilters. I want to watch techniques and see projects I want to make. Sadly I see no point in renewing.
