You've received some really great help on your machine. I would like to suggest you use pieces of lined notebook paper to practice sewing a straight line. No thread in the machine at all just let the needle punch the paper along the lines. This helps you get comfortable, figure out the speed, adjust to the foot pedal etc then move onto scrap fabric like old sheets. (You can pick them up cheap at thrift, second hand stores, Salvation Army etc) So sorry about your Mom. I feel close to my Mom & Grandma when I sew. My Grandma's been gone many years, my Mom just a few years ago. Sewing brings back all kinds of good memories. {{Big Internet hug!}}
