My DH is behind me right now on the machine sewing on his quilt. He used to hate it when I wanted to go fabric shopping but now he is right in there with me. When I took some of my quilts to enter in a quilt show, he had all of the ladies surrounding us spell bounded by his quilting jabber. They all seemed so interested in what he was saying. I had to practically drag him out of the place. I'm sorry you are having just a time. The ladies and gents on this board have been so encouraging to my DH that I'm sure you'll have any question answered that you want to ask. And most of the tutorials are so good that it's just like sitting down beside them. Don't give up. You will master many things before its over.
