A New Crafty Purchase

Yesterday I purchased a little, basic (read: cheap)sewing machine. I've always wanted to try my hand at sewing. All the classes that you can take require you to bring your own sewing machine. I'd like to give sewing a try before buying a real machine (costs lots of $$$). I'm still hunting for a class where the machines are provided, but in the meantime, I have a little one here that I can do some basic hemming on. I may even try my hand on a do it yourself quilt kit. If I can conquer that, I may be ready to buy a real machine and give it all I've got :)
