Michelle,
Do you have a tape measure that is marked?  They sell them, or you can ask a reader to use a stapler to mark the inch marks.  The first inch is done with the 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 inches also marked with staples.  

Use a dental floss threader to thread the needle.  Keep it handy on the spool pin.

Well, I did it, I started learning to sew! I made a pillowcase! My friend is showing me. 

 

I'm curious, what tricks of the trade do folks find helpful? I'm so excited!
Seriously, I was discouraged from sewing at school and now I'm doing it.
Would love feedback on any guides or whatever you find helpful.

 

Michelle
