I’m 14 years old and just got a sewing machine and really want to start using it as soon as possible but I need to learn and know the basics of sewing and how to set up and the basics of using a sewing machine (Brother to be exact). Please anf thank you! 
Also what basic tools will I need? Will it be very hard since I’m a beginner?
Your welcome beautiful.
Keep your instruction manual at hand – look carefully at the instructions for threading the top thread (always do this with the presser foot up) and how to insert the bobbin (be sure the thread is feeding from the bobbin in the correct direction and feed it through the proper guides.
This is the best site I have found for beginners and those who already have a few years experience – http://www.simplicity.com/index.cfm
Sign up – it’s free. Fill out My account and then sewing 101.
Free patterns, free instructions, free projects.
Pattern envelopes will give information as to what type of fabric you should use, how much to buy and what notions (thread, buttons, elastic, zippers) that will be needed. The website goes over this also.
In addition – If you have a Walmart that sells fabric and notions you can get brand name notions for a good price. JoAnn Fabric is having a New Year’s sale (Dec 31 – Jan 4) – thread will be 50% off; cutting tools – 40% off; quilting notions – 50% (straight pins, marking pencils for fabric).
Go with the basic color of thread for now – grey, black, white, navy, brown, red & cream. They will blend with almost anything you make. Buy for machine sewing and not quilting.
Good scissors (I like the titanium coated shears).
Thread nippers or small scissors for small places.
Extra sewing machine needles (Schmetz brand – they have a pack with assorted sizes).
Sharp straight pins.
Pin cushion (or magnetic pin dish).
Seam ripper (we all use those, no matter how long we have been sewing). I like the Dritz brand with the bright blue handle.
Tape Measure – some come in a retractable case.
Seam gauge.
Blue Painter’s Tape (makes a good seam guide when placed on the sewing machine. Fabric shop won’t have this, but Walmart will in the paint department.

Happy sewing – it will serve you well and forever.
