I hope this answer to your question is still useful to you. Have you looked around for a quilt shop in your area? They usually have classes in store. I also know that many JoAnn fabric stores sell machines and that these "stores within a store" offer classes also. Check these places and explain that you purchased your machine and never got a lesson. I did this at a local JoAnn store and the lady in the machines section offered up a free lesson! Whoot! Surfing the web has given me the opportunity to find sites with videos posted that teach alot of the techniques I would have had to take a class to learn. Here's two for you to check out--sewingwithnancytv.com and kayewooodtv.com. I also like to read the blog lazygirldesigns.com? Hope this helps and happy sewing!
