    Why can’t premium members watch classes without having to purchase them? Why are you showing pictures of classes and patterns that are not available? Why would we want to pay for a membership when we are cut out of classes and patterns?

  2. Linda334

    Why show us all of these pictures when none of it is available? Don’t show it.

  3. Marilyn Rodway

    this class does not show us anything except the patterns we can use, and not how to quilt these designs. Not happy

  4. Marilyn Rodway

    why are we having to pay for the bird patterns, that they are trying to teach us.?
