Welcome from Canada.. When I 1st started didn't know how or where to learn.. They didn't have all the tutorialson computer so I joined a quilt guild in my area. But ladies had their little groups and I truly felt alone. Parents passed away when I was in my 20's they never had the chance to teach me.. Found a singer sewing machine $10.00 in garage sale, and didn't know how to operate it, had to hunt down instructions on how to thread it.. lolEventually, I took a few classes that cost me to hear the instructor say my thread tension was no good and needed to get a new machine. OMG was I upset. Hung on, kept at it and realized each have their taste, style and I developed my own.. Now, they have you tube like Missouri star quilt company that has excellent you tube and fat quarters shop. Eleanor burns have plenty of books and Cd's designed for the beginner quilter. Always good if can join in with someone but not all have the same quilting habits. Enjoy, don't give up, ask lots of questions, don't be afraid to say in your local quilt shop:"Can someone help me with this?" other customers will be happy to help out.. You might even develop a good friend..
