Thanks for the replies, Ladies! My aunt's house is far from mine. We did a "first cut" at cleaning it up and sorting out stuff (my husband is the executor) when we went there over Thanksgiving, and that's when I took the machine and some fabric home. We go for our last trip there early next month, so I've been working hard to research and find out what I need from her supplies before we do an estate sale. These answers help: I think I'll spend some time on Amazon looking at the types of books that exist and seeing if I will spot some in her collection. Do any of you have titles (or authors) to recommend to someone just starting out?
