Thank you for your reply Marge. The story behind this is the wife of a guy my dh works with has several health issues. One being Parkinsons. She didn't want to get rid of her things because that would mean she would have to admit how ill she is. That's why it is on permanent loan to me. If her health allows, it goes back to her. That probably won't happen.
So, one day my dh brought home tubs full of stuff. I have gone through it all and have done some very basic things and I have tried to read the manual but I just feel like there is so much more I could do.
I did find CompuSew that is not too far away that offers classes. I plan to check that out this next week. If there is any help anyone here can offer I would love that but I realize how frustrating that can be long distance.
Mary
