I have done a lot of self teach using tutorials here in the qb and also on YouTube. Lots of good info, biut there is noting like tryi try again. One can learn a lot from mistakes!
I love the swap doll quilt and table runne for example. That way I make it a point to do a new technique and perfect others (binding) on small items so not to get overwhelmed.
Posting questions here you gets lots of advice too. Ther is no substitution for practice.
