I do sew quite a bit Sue. You've been given some good suggestions already. Have you checked your local library for books? That's basically how I learned to sew. I have a ton of books that I own that are very good and I know we have them at the library too(I work there). My local quilt shops offer a ton of classes. They're usually from A to Z in sewing. They go from beginning to advanced. Do you have any good quilt shops around you? They generally run beginner's classes every month here so you could probably get in one pretty soon if you have any nearby. If you want, PM me or post here the type of machine you have and the types of feet you're wondering about. I'll try to help as much as I can. I'm going to work soon but I'll check back later. I love to hear about people sewing. It's a great hobby!! Terry
