I'm not "experienced" but I do help teach basics to newbies where I live. I can help, and believe we'll have others jump in when we need advice.
Could our newbie's explain what they do know, what machine they have, basic idea of what supplies they've bought. And if you've taken any local classes, or from family. What you want to learn.
This would better help us connect to help.
Also, if you have a webcam, we can 'see' what your doing to give some online help. There are wonderful tutorials here and online with very good step by step video or picture instructions. Debbie D in ND
