It might be old fashioned these days but I would go with the how-to book suggestions too and Harriet Hargrave is at the top of the list. You get structured instructions from an accredited teacher, pictures right at your finger tips, a resource that is right there beside your machine when you need it and can be referred to as you go, and there are plenty of them out there. Of course, classes and your computer are great back-up resources too. Best wishes with your quilting journey, you have chosen a wonderful past time.
