I would check out some of the You Tube videos available. Just go to YouTube (.) com and enter a search for sewing, machine, piecing, etc. After watching some of the video you may then feel a bit more confident about starting to use your machine.

Cut up some scrap fabric and just practice sewing, using all of the different settings available.

As others have mentioned taking a class. If you ask around you might be able to find someone to help walk you through different things on your machine. Search out any of the machine dealers in your area and go and have them demonstrate their machines to you. Even though it might be a different brand they will help you with their models and that may be just enough help to get you started on your machine at home.

Good luck with machine sewing. Keep us updated on how you're doing.

Have a Great Day!
