Welcome from California! You can find help here - and there are many tutorials on Youtube. There are many people on this board that are self taught. I learned to do the binding from a book. You could also ask at your local fabric store. I've gone into Joann's and just asked customers questions before. (It was easy to spot the quilters, they are buying lots of cotton. LOL!!!) I want to encourage you to go for it and get it done!
