Congrats on your new sewing machine. what are you going to sew first? 
I have no idea, I have never used a sewing machine before.  Do you have any suggestions for a good beginner project?
I would recommend a pillow. Have you heard of Mary Martha Mama? She has a great tutorial on how to sew a pillow in 4 easy steps
That sounds like a fun project.  I wonder if I should look for a sewing class to take or just try to learn on my own...what would you do?
