pin in a sheet sandwich (sheet, batt, sheet) lay out your pattern and take the needle out of the machine. Practice the pattern 10 times with no needle.
Then put the needle in with NO thread. Practice again 10 times, start to finish.
Then add thread and jump with joy at how great it looks, Now roll the fabric and do the next row.
It should be a breeze.
On your third row, play, scribble, doodle etc...
Forth row do the pattern, it will be even easier. repeat 3rd and 4th rows.
Continue to the end of the sandwich, hopefully now you have a good size snuggle under reminder of your new machine.
