Thank you everyone for your ideas. Those I have not already tried, I will. I've gotten more information from here than anywhere else I've asked. My husband gave it to me for Christmas a couple of years ago. He bought it off the internet which means NO LESSONS. So, I read, re read and read the book agin. A lady at the quilt shop that USED to be here answered a few questions. That's how I knew about the stabilizer at all. But now the shop owner retired and closed shop and moved away. However, a Quality has arrived in town but doesn't provide classes yet. Maybe someday. But thank you all for all your valuable assistance.
