You might also see if a dealer has an “Embroidery Club”, ours meets once a month. You’ll learn so much from them. The only problem I’ve found, is the one in another town, charged $50.00 a year, then had projects each month that cost mega $$$’s. The last one was a Victorian Bell Pull (just what I didn’t need). The disk, fabric, and all would make it cost almost $200. That’s when I quit going. The one I do go to is free, and most projects can be done with something you have, or a free design from Annthegran. Karen
