There are also some nice Singer books on sewing.
I would recommend the quilting book listed above.
Any book with lots of pictures- check your local library
If you want to make bra's : Anne St. Clair from Needle Nook has a great book.
Also - Use the internet- lots and lots and lots of information.
To start with- sew on a piece of paper or paper towel to get the hang of moving your hands. Draw a line and see if you can follow it.
Figure out where a 1/4" scant seem is on your machine, and mark it for quilting.
