I don't think it's sad at all. You're never too old to learn. And if sewing is what you want to learn, then go for it. What others have said it true -- get very well acquainted with your machine's manual. If you don't have one, get one. I've been sewing for 60 years and I still get the manual out -- especially if my machine begins to act up. Good luck.
