I know you have gotten tons of good advice, so I won't add mine. But, I will make a suggestion, yes watch lot's of youtube videos but I would also suggest you buy or get at the library a quilting book for beginners. They have several that is very easy to understand with lot's of good pictures. I'm a newer quilter (almost 2 yrs.) & I use mine all the time. Also, there are lot's of good magazines geared for newer quilters. I like "Quick Quilts" & "Quilting Quickly". Lot's of easy patterns & easy instructions & help. There is tons of good help out there, but, you will find the most help right here on the QB. Welcome to QB & Quilting. You have set sail on a great adventure. Ahoy!!!
