Welcome Becky,
For the cost of a magazine subscription or a book (about $24 a year) you can join QNN on the web. I joined and I am thrilled with it. I too am a novice quilter. They have beginning quilting video's, Eleanor BUrns, and many others. You can watch them any time it is convenient...as well as rewatching them. FOR ME, it is well worth the money. If you start with the beginner quilting videos it takes you through step by step, choosing fabric, cutting, sewing etc. There are videos on binding and quilting. IT IS GREAT. Also You tube has great tutorials. But I love QNN. They also have tons of FREE patterns and ideas.
