Welcome from Ontario, Canada. Read your machine instructions to get familiar with the features. If you bought it at a local dealer, take a beginner's quilt class if you can. If you are starting on your own, buy some cotton fabric to get started. You can sew with other fabrics but cotton is easier. Sew yourself a couple of pot holders and then move up to placemats or a table runner. You can find some great YouTube videos done by the Missouri Star Quilt co. to start you on your way.
