Well said Jill and exactly how I feel. I used to get intimidated when I was first on this board with so many prfessionals but found they are just people like the rest of us with a higher skill. I have gotten much good advice on here without any feeling of anyone being superior to me. I have been using a sewing machine for 40 years and there is still a lot to learn.
