As for the "as seen on youtube"...well that goes beyond mean and nasty----to the ungrateful and downright hateful. I hope you know how many quilters you have helped and encouraged with your FREE postings....And I hope "AS SEEN" stops to think how wealthy you could have become if you had charged the last 3 years!

Craftsy courses are more like one on one classes and if some people would rather watch a 3 minutes You Tube video than a real class they are just cheap. <br /><br />And speaking of cheap I will sign in to the course but is not really giving us a 50% discount, but only a 25%. I know is only 10$ diff but those 10$ can go to another Craftsy class or a charm pack!<br /><br />Is there a mistake somewhere? Can you check what is going on there?<br /><br />Thank you and just keep doing what you love HOW EVER YOU WANT TO DO IT and please please please keep sharing. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07893605016752220719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-8716778392017825942013-03-15T06:38:45.116-04:002013-03-15T06:38:45.116-04:00I have just posted my pics of my completed Amy Gib...I have just posted my pics of my completed Amy Gibson BOM following your FMQ class and a few modifications.

I want to really improve my machine quilting this year and your classes are an important part of that journey. And while it might be possible to watch some of what is in the classes on Youtube, it's much more convenient to watch it in a format such as Craftsy and not have to find and watch lots of different videos on youtube. Craftsy is not expensive so I don't know why people have a problem.sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04208231913623029597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-53513387038345938042013-03-14T21:11:08.542-04:002013-03-14T21:11:08.542-04:00Hi Leah,

Instead, concentrate on the many kind reviews left by those who appreciate all that you have so graciously brought to our world.<br />Some people aren't satisfied even when we're standing on one leg while spitting nickels....oh well, it's their loss. Let them utilize Craftsy's return policy.<br />Embrace your humanity ~ you are enough.<br />Best,<br />JaeJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351735470664111985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-51143216427900971072013-03-14T20:08:34.404-04:002013-03-14T20:08:34.404-04:00Leah you have great advise as usual!

I'm working on a project now, testing out my idea in muslin. Win or fail, I have decided to blog about it. I could opt not to. I mean, no one will ever know, right. But I think that when you are honest with yourself, and other people, it makes you more real to them. It's so much easier to connect and relate. Others can learn from your mistakes and who knows who can give you some advise you can learn from to! ALSO, you have come so far in video making!!! I have always enjoyed them, but you could be a news anchor, girl!!! YOu look so comfortable on camera.

To that person(s), just go on and do it all through the FREE YouTube videos that you have GIVEN to the world!! I've learned so much from you! I appreciate it all and I love that you give us all the encouragement...uh, the PUSH off the cliff, to create something that speaks to us as the Duchess speaks to you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yeah, I'm sure that I could use the videos on YouTube and I do watch them, but I don't mind spending a small amt to learn so much and sit in class with you.Southlady_1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04812856140632323250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-54526505223588019472013-03-14T13:56:06.480-04:002013-03-14T13:56:06.480-04:00Leah, I absolutely LOVED your first (free!)

I've already signed up for the Free Motion Fillers Vol.1 and I'm really excited to get started with it.<br /><br />There's always going to be critics out there. Hear what they say - if it has validity then learn from it. If the criticism is unwarranted then just move on.<br /><br />You're a quilting celebrity, which garners some negative attention, but the majority is positive... and for good reason. You're an EXCELLENT teacher and generous with your time (FMQ project for example).<br /><br />Thank you so much for all you do!Down the Shorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415251908895202109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-88605983950270618362013-03-14T12:10:39.732-04:002013-03-14T12:10:39.732-04:00Anyone who doesn't understand the difference b...Anyone who doesn't understand the difference between a Craftsy class and YouTube videos . . . hasn't taken a Craftsy class.

I have been following you for years. While I am not really one to make a quilt from someone else's patterns, if I am ever looking for some inspiration for quilting ideas, your website is one of the first places I look! And am certainly guaranteed to find something inspirational and free!!!<br />I generally check what you are up to a couple of times a week because I find your artistic journey really fascinating. I loved how you made your designs open to anyone, and then when you began being recognised and valued for your talent through opportunities like Craftsy, I was really pleased for you. Your talent is immense and you should be able to make a living through your craft. I did wonder whether you would keep up your blogging and providing free inspiration and you have...<br />For anyone who has criticised you for including previously publicised designs in your class I have two things to say. The first is that incorporating previous knowledge with new knowledge is called 'scaffolded learning'. It is a technique that every decent teacher uses regardless of what they teach. (Perhaps` better known as practice makes perfect)<br />And secondly, as far as I am concerned Leah Day is surpassed by none when it comes to generosity with her time, designs and creative talents. I believe there is no-one who visits her website who does not come away with a fresh idea for something. So do NOT whinge as if this woman has not given you value for money.A Room Of One's Ownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07579042952971201410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-32745142869653117102013-03-14T03:25:37.776-04:002013-03-14T03:25:37.776-04:00You are wonderful, so never let the nasties get yo...You are wonderful, so never let the nasties get you down! For every mean comment, there are hundreds of silent, grateful fans, inspired by you day after day, and across the world. Paying for slick, interactive and self-contained classes would be worth every penny, I would think. That you generously inspire us for free as well is an added bonus!

I think with fmq that you can see the same design done by more than one teacher and the same teacher explainig it a little different and you can always learn something new. Maybe it's just me.<br />I too also love the Craftsy classes when you have a project to work on during the class.
