Judy, start on easy things--pillowcases, dish towels, doll clothes, children's clothes, things where it is not vital to be perfect at first (I mean, you dry dishes on a towel that the lettering is not straight and the dishes get just as dry!! And children and dolls are remarkably uncritical when you do something just for them!!) Then as you get more confident, move on to bigger things--napkins, table runners, that kind of stuff. Learn that you can embroider over a bad embroidery with a larger one to cover up a mistake or a defect. Play, have fun, and learn. Do test sewouts on plain solid fabrics squares large enough to make into a lap quilt or baby quilt. But as I said before, have fun!
