Find a Janome dealer. They usually have classes to help you learn how to use your machine. You have a sophisticated machine with lots of bells and whistles; I would want help getting started too. As for learning to quilt, take a beginning class---you are going to love it!

BTW, welcome from Pine Grove, CA!

there is a quilting group there in Texarkan, Twice As Nice Quilting Bees. Go to www.quiltguilds.com/texas.htm. You will see a list of cities in Texas, scroll down to Texarkana. I'm sure these ladies would help you.

Hello from Missouri. A beginning quilting book from the library is a very good starting place. If you have a quilt guild near you, they often welcome new quilters and love to show how they do their quilting.

Hi and welcome from Oklahoma City, OK. I was a novice 5 years ago when I decided to learn to quilt. I went to the local library and repeatedly check out the quilting books. I read books and magazines all summer. Finally started making crazy quilts out of denim for all my grandkids for Christmas. Got 5 twin size done (for all the older GKs) They are all still using them in their homes or cars. Just pick a project and go for it!
