How would this look for a letter of recommendation?
Can I ask a professor who I had for a class called Qualitative Sociology Research Methods to write me a letter of recommendation even if the Masters degree I’m applying to is not Sociology? We learned alot of research techniques that I think would be useful for my Master’s thesis.

The information you saw online is correct.
But recommendations from professors in what are called “allied fields” are also valuable. As you learned online, at least 2 of 3 of your letters should be from professors in your intended field of specialization. A third from your sociology professor would be absolutely appropriate.

Of course, he is only recommending you for a class and has no need to be within the discipline to do that. Good luck.
