I just bought my first sewing machine! I'm an absolute beginner, the most sewing I've done is hand-repairing holes in clothes. Do you all have any recommendations for good video tutorial series or channels to watch? Any general advice for a newbie?

My first goal is to make a set of curtains for my living room and bedroom, but I'm interested in sewing some clothes eventually.

I know this is going to sound like a cop out, but read your sewing machine’s manual. That helped me so much. I had the fortune of having my mom
Show me some things but she’s not the best teacher and I feel like I learned a great deal from that.
