I'm looking into getting a long hdmi cable to try hooking my computer up to my tv. Not sure if it'll work or if my tv has a spare hdmi port (I'd have to swap it out every time if not) but it's worth a try.

Absolutely worth the money. They go on sale quite often, so you can wait for the sales if you think they are expensive. I think they are wonderful. You can watch when ever you want, ask questions on line and the instructors are the best.

I have taken many classes from Craftsy. Most I've gotten on sale or Free. I've learned some new things up to lots of new things in each class. Some I might never go back and watch again but many I've gone back multiple times to watch portions over again. I think there would be some classes that you'd benefit from, depending on your specific interest. If you are unhappy, contact Craftsy and they'll refund your money, I've heard. I also like the questions/answer portion of each class. Many times other students are able to chime in and offer a solution to a question.

I don't/won't pay more than $20 for a Craftsy course. More than that and, I agree, the classes are too pricey. I assume you are signed up for the Craftsy newsletter? Subscribers get periodic offers of reduced prices for certain courses that are generally sale priced in the range of $15-30. As someone else on this thread mentioned, some $40 Craftsy classes are available half-off at the Craftsy instructor's own web site. Alternatively, instructors sell their own instructional DVDs (Carol Doak comes to mind but there are many others) and they, too, periodically go on sale and are priced in the $20-30 ranged; DVDs are yours forever, and not dependent on an internet connection. I have bought many Craftsy classes, and most of them are very helpful. Create a wish list and then be patient!

I have taken craftsy classes along with Block of the Month and i love them , the best part is the class will stay on your account and you can always go back for a referance

I've done a lot of the classes. I wait till they go on sale, usually under $20. I find that there are lots of good information in the class, plus you do have the option of asking the instructors a question. Also they stay up and do not expire which for me is good. I usually go for the technique classes rather than the ones that have a specific pattern. I can't get to regular classes at a shop etc as have handicapped hubby and can't get away.

I'm a Craftsy fan! Best thing since sliced bread!

What does the site do when you try to access it? Is it your browser that doesn't work? XP should work just fine. :-)

I also have a lot of their classes in my list. Some are free - BOM comes to mind, which are free I think. I like the fact that I can go back whenever I want. They were how I learned to quilt 2 years ago. I watched a few of the classes and then just dove in and made 10 quilts in 3 months.... all tied, haven't machine quilted one yet, only small things. :-( I wait until the classes are on sale. Get on their mailing list so you will know. :-)

Chrome is a browser - the only one I will use. Get it here: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95346?hl=en

I had trouble on Craftsy last year with IE. It's a problem with their end not being programmed for all browsers. Use Chrome and you will be fine.
