You'll have no problem - it's not difficult to work with. It comes with a nice size book with lessons in it and once you follow those - you'll be an expert. I did a lesson a night and then the next night would review a bit and go to the next lesson. It's a ton of fun and I love it - not using it as much as I should since I've got a few purchased patterns I want to finish up before starting too many new things. THis is my year for donation quilts and that gives lots of opportunity to try different designs. Go for it, girl.
