After being a longtime Craftsy / Bluprint customer for over 5 years, plus an affiliate promoting the online learning platform here at the Sewing Report – I have made the decision to cancel my membership subscription when it runs out in March 2021.
I am not encouraging you to cancel your Craftsy membership, but did want to share my own experience with the company and explain my reasons for this choice. It pretty much boils down to the price of $79.99 / year, lack of usage, and current Craftsy business practices.
When I called Craftsy to request that my account NOT be auto-renewed, I was told they did have a lower tier for $29.99 (not sure what that includes), and that even without paying – I should be able to access the 60+ classes in my account library. Of course, I will be back with an update on the process…

UPDATE 2/16/21: Interesting timing that I called to cancel my Craftsy auto-renewal on February 2nd, put out a video about it on February 12th, then get this confirmation email at 8:44PM on February 16th after thousands of people viewed it. Will keep y’all posted…

I was thinking the same thing. I did not realize my membership was about to expire and they charged me $79.99. And exactly as you described there is no way to cancel online. and I am unable to delete my credit card. I am also disappointed that there has been no new classes. I have all my current classes downloaded, so I am interested in new content. Thank you for your video.
Eileen, how did you download your classes??
I’m having the same problem as you. I was renewed in the middle of the night last night for a year’s membership at the original price, and I tried to get a refund today but Craftsy’s phone was not answered. Did you contact Craftsy and did they give you a refund for the membership fee?
Hi Jen,
I just want to thank you for making this video. I just happened to see it yesterday. I was an original Craftsy subscriber and loved the original platform. Recently, I tried NQC and have not been able to get unsubscribed to the proliferation of emails they send. **IMAGINE my surprise this morning when an unrecognized charge to my account was traced back to them. Thank you again; your message was right on time for me and very well done.
I’m Grateful.
Thank you Jen! I was about to sign up for the $3 special, but I’m not going to now. If cancellation is not easily done through the account section of a member’s profile of ANY membership, then it’s not worth the hassle. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Same here!
When Blueprint became Crafsty I lost all my credits because I did not do it by a certain date last year.
Too many distractions including COVID. When I contacted them about giving me the credits back they totally ignored me and said that it was not possible. Very disappointing also the policy of not letting you cancel is ridiculous.
How to cancel my membership on craftsy
Apparently have many bad policies. Now have special where you can get a premium membership for just 3 dollars. The same membership I just auto renewed for 85.oo (with tax). I will not auto renew for next year for sure.
Sent an email to Craftsy a week ago to cancel my subscription. Absolutely no response from them.
I subscribed for their GOLD membership last month (something like $13/year).
On the same day I emailed them requesting the membership not to be automatically renewed, I already had bad experiences with things getting renewed at exorbitant prices.
They did not replied my email, I sent them another email requesting my membership not to be automatically renewed.
Since I’m based in Australia, I really don’t want to pay international call fees.
I was sent an email telling me i was about to automatically be renewed, i was
able to reply to this email with my Craftsy account number and got a reply very quickly. They have taken me off auto renew and offered it at the reduced cost of £29.99.
My concern is, can i still access my account and watch the videos i have paid for when it was crafsty years ago before bluprint. I cant find any clear answers
Hello Heidi. My membership is about to expire and not planning to renew but I was wondering if I will be able to watch the classes as well. Are you able to? I wrote to them but no response. Thank you.
Thanks for the review. I just clicked on a facebook ad for Crafty as they have a deal right now for $2.50, but it dropped to $1.25 when I wanted to leave the link. Kind of thought it was too good to be true and I decided to check out reviews and saw your review. Not being able to cancel my subscription automatically is a huge turn off and red flag for me. So I will not be trying out their service.
