I know the feeling. I bought mine and am still struggling but am doing wall hangings and baby quilts. One of these days I will graduate to the bigger quilts. I wish I had done this years ago, I am 75 yr old and hard to teach an old dog they say ha ha. If not now you may regreat it. Hope your dealer gives lessons. Mine don't which is the mistake I make. Good Luck. Just do it.......BJ
