Can you make a day trip to go to your dealer? My dealer (man that sounds bad) is an hour and 45 minutes away, but if I plan to head out there (and get there when she opens at 11) she will make/schedule/create a class for me and she is pretty incredible.
Other than that -- the manual is your best bet. (and the boards)
I just bought a new machine, and then a month later an embroidery machine -- I'm using up some scraps learning how to use the special features on both! trial and error, and lots of scraps and random extra thread
