Craftsy Classes---What Have You Taken?
#13
I've watched the free classes. I never get enough time to watch all the free tutes I would like to so find a hard time justifying paying for one. I would though if something I really wanted to learn. It's a great resource.

I have signed up for 4 classes. 2 were free BOM classes and 2 were Leah Day's classes. I haven't had time to watch much of them, but I am looking forward to watching them over and over. I love Leah Day, and she makes it look so easy to free motion on your DSM.

Out of the four classes I signed up for, I have taken just one...the one on piecing quilt backings. Good technical info, but the teacher showed only one way to piece quilt. I was hoping to learn different ways to piece a backing.

I love Craftsy classes! I have enrolled for eight, have completed two. Two are with Jenny Doan on quilting quickly with precuts. Another one is machine quilting and goes into detailed FMQ. I'm currently taking a class with Leah Day on FMQ. I'm still on the first lesson and have learned so much already! I'm even thinking of trying a crochet class. Whoever developed this concept is a genius!

I've signed up for most of the free quilting classes and the two quilting quickly ones and the quick strip paper piecing. I've watched the paper piecing one and the first quilting quickly one and live them so far! Especially Jenny's classes!

I have taken one class where you have a picture and you turn it into a quilt I think Wendy Butler Berns was the teacher. I kept falling asleep.
I then chose a free class on making bon bon christmas candies. Now, I know it was/is a free class and I do appreciate the chance to learn something for free, but honestly, the teacher had laryngitis and her voice almost made my ears bleed. Terrible for her voice and terrible for trying to learn anything. I kept wishing she would cough or clear her throat. Poor woman.
Craftsy has a great thing going and they really do offer an amazing array of classes. I liked the quilting class and will do another class someday.

I have taken Machine Finished Applique by Beth Ferrier. I finished it last week and have begun applying the techniques. Beth is a very mellow teacher who carefully explains everything. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire class. I only buy the classes when they go on sale.
