I wish someone would send info out more on the membership and fees. Does it work the same as it did before blueprint shut down? Are you able to watch all classes. I have googled and still can not find enough info. I thought when I signed up that someone would eventually send more details in how the new Craftsy memberships work.
Hello Debra,
Thank you for contacting us.
In regards to your inquiry, I have attached a link you will find helpful on how to navigate the Craftsy site.

I became a premium member again and I believe it is the same as before where I can watch all the classes. However, there aren’t any more freebies such as free project kits. Watch for the flash sales in your email where you can get a whole year of premium membership for $2.49!!
Can I watch it now? I work during the day
I’m hoping we can watch a recorded session for Australian subscribers. I don’t fancy getting up in the middle of the night to watch. ☹️
thank you so much for all of these excellent informations
Best wishes from Germany

How can I bake a cake that is moist. My cake also come out dry.
Hi I’m from Australia, with reference to your sugar comment.
We call regular sugar as granulated sugar, then caster sugar is a fine version to granulated and then we call Icing sugar and Icing mixture (confectioners sugar)
Thank you for Craftsy downloads
