I've got two sewing machines. Where do I even begin to learn? (self.sewing)

Nothing fancy, neither is terribly new or old. Not being able to sew is really holding me back on DIY projects.

Is there an "Operating a Sewing Machine for Dummies" video or tutorial you like?

Check out sailrite on YouTube. They've got a ton of videos. They're very outdoor/Marine centric but have tons of great how to videos.

I bought one of their kits to build a huge 28' long zippered cover for my sailboats front sail and with very little experience was able to successfully make it.

I just look up the model you got and if you don't find anything then a model similar so they can show you how to run the string and all that how to use your little winder for the bobbin thingy
