Star members have many benefits above and beyond the shows. You get block of the month patterns and teaching videos (which is about a $90.00 benefit), my classroom - which is a set of fun and funky video blogs tackling several subject matter - in fact the video visit to P&B was originally created to be shown in there, but I decided to open it up to everyone. Let's see, search function, member blogs............We will soon be featuring short lessons from Jan Krentz ..... Patsy Thompson will have some special machine lessons for paid members.. it is important to understand that when you decide to become a star member, you get the show that is currently airing and then forward as new shows air, kind of like when you subscribe to a magazine. The bottom line is that we are like a magazine & we cannot survive without both advertisers and subscribers - OH yes - also 5% discount in the TQS Shoppe - think of it as guild dues that helps us bring in the best speakers in the world.......
