if you were close to portland, or, i would suggest you come on by. sewing is a skill that is easier to learn with a real human, tho there are good you
tubes avail. i would suggest that you check with a) a local sewing machine sales shop that handles your brand. they probably have owners’ lessons. if you bought from them, those lessons are usually free. if you bought on line, not free. or 2) take a class from a fabric store. a beginner’s class should teach you to set up and use a machine, troubleshoot common problems and make a couple of projects, maybe something like a pillowcase or tote bag and a pair of pajama pants.
