Hi, welcome from East Texas. Sewing now will be so much easier. When I first started college, accounting was kicking my behind but now many years later I get It. Start with basic things like squares and straight lines. Be sure you use a good quilting ruler & measure, measure, measure. It makes all the difference in the world. Don't be scared of a rotor cutter they are scary at first but you will get the hang of them. Good luck. Oh & like my mama always says, read the dang instructions.
