Help with my new machine

[jenz245]

I purchased a John Lewis sewing machine on Saturday as I love fabric and crafty ideas....however....I have never used one and am lacking basic skills and knowledge, I have only ever really done bits of hand stitching as in sewing a button back on!

I'm wanting to make simple home items such as cushions, bunting, patchwork items and wondering if anybody could make a recommendation on how to start?

I have made some very wonky bunting and a pin cushion which is very basic. I'm unsure how to start stitches off and finish them off correctly too. I know I sound like a lost cause but I think once I master the basics I could really enjoy it.

I'm in S2

 

Thanks
