The youtube tutorials are sufficient to get you started I did it from that alone, just jumped right in, don't be afraid you can do it, its not difficult just tedious, you don't need a book because the tutorials on you tube are like taking a class, you can see it visually rather than in pictures in a book. I believe you can do it and that you are just lacking confidence in yourself. just get an easy free pattern from one of the many free websites and put the pedal to the metal
these are the 2 tutorials I have watched
