Determined!!!!!
I don't know how many times I have said this, but I am determined to learn how to machine quilt on my sewing machine. I know it's practice, practice, practice, but do you ladies/gentelmen have any tips that can help me on my journey? Books? Tapes? Classes? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Anything you think will work for you! Some people like to learn in person, some from videos, books, etc. But, no matter which way you go, or all ways, you will still have to practice, practice, and then practice more. Good luck and have fun with it.

There are a lot of tutorials on Youtube, they have helped me. I also learned to turn my machine a quarter turn so that the left side of the machine goes to the back, it helps me see better. I use gloves and I raise the side of the machine that is to the back up a little with two door stops, that also helps me see better. I hope this makes sense.

The most valuable tool for me was being able to control the speed on my machine. I set it to half and put the pedal to the metal. This allows me to concentrate in moving my hands and quilt in a smooth manner.

Do lots and lots of Quilts for Kids. They are a smaller size, you can do a simple meander, you will be motivated to do your best, and when they are done, you send them away and never see them again, BUT the kids who get them will not ever complain about your quilting.
