    since I do not know a lot about sewing this one was great..40 Techniques Every Sewer Should Know. I also really liked the serger classes since I knew nothing at all they were really good. - all of the serger classes and the sewing class was worth it. A few were just ok, but I only asked for my money back on one,..even if I just learn one thing I figured it was worth it. Oh and I watched the free longarm class...so glad I did not pay for that one. I skipped though it...her stitches were not impressive.

    that said, I love love love the Angela Walters classes and bought all of them. Those are my favorite. I have a few others I am working through too that are pretty good.
    Which Wendy class did you take? I thought pictorial quilts was fabulous but art quilts was terrible.

    My favorites were Stupendous Stitching, Hand Stitched collage quilts, and painted quilt.

    The dye class was kind of useless, I got most of that from a quick google search. I wish I had asked for my money back on the log cabin art quilt class. It was just about how to make a log cabin block nothing about art quilting. There is a time limit on the guarantee

    I have taken many of the Craftsy classes but I would say that Leah Day's classes on FMQ are the ones where I learned the most. I took a couple of classes which I though were sort of a waste of time but there again it depends on your level of quilting and what you want to learn. Block of the month was very well done but quite simple. I signed up for the quilting Big Projects on Small machine but have not gotten around to taking it so can't comment on that one. I have to agree that I was not that impressed with Wendy Burns although I did learn some things so I guess you can always learn one thing new if you listen long enough.

    I took Amy Gibson's free Block of the Month class and learned a whole lot. She showed many techniques I didn't know and want to learn further.

    I too had some issues with one of the Wendy Butler Burns classes. Ok information but talked to much. I don't remember which it was. The other one was pretty good. I also loved Cindy Needham's classes as well as Angela Walters and Ann Peterson. I also liked Peggy Martin's quick strip paper piecing. I have learned something from almost every class, and I've done most of the quilting classes.

    Have never paid for a class. There are so many free instructions. Now after years of quilting I can put togather blocks with only written instructions and many with no instructions.
    Like Eleanor Burns the best and no cost instructions on her website Quilt In A Day.
    So glad QNN was free when I started quilting, learned a lot with all the free videos.
    Also some teachers use methods that are more complicated than others so simplify them to easier ways.
