The PC skills you need are minimal but you do indeed need to know more than how to turn on your PC and click on email. That is a start but not quite enough. Even small communities have classes on PC skills that are oriented for beginners. Taking one of those classes is a great way to gain knowledge and the confidence you need. Some senior citizen communities or centers have free classes. There is also the fairly easy to read "PC's for Dummies' series which even we use from time to time. If you don't learn well from well written, simple books, take a class. Many people do not learn well from a book even if fairly simple - they need "hands on" learning. For those who are not aware, computerized quilting can be easy and simple or if you are really creative, you can use advanced features. But using the "more difficult to learn" features is optional. You can start out simple and grow from there. With the several thousand quilting patterns available for the PC Quilter, you answer a few simple questions on width and length of the area you want to quilt and how many repeats you want. That's not hard. You can then tell the PC Quilter software to draw it out for you so you can look at it before sewing. That is not hard either. Finally, when you are ready to sew, it tells you exactly where to place the needle to begin (usually in the bottom left corner of the area to quilt or in the center of a quilt block depending on the type of pattern). And then it sews. And you stand back and are astonished at what you see happening (or the thread brakes - use the correct type of thread and needle to avoid that) !!! We all put a lot of time into piecing the quilt top - perhaps as much as 100 hours or more. It deserves more than some all over pattern or meander. You can do something spectacular instead. The only thing limiting most people is just getting past the "fear" and getting started. As FDR said when sworn in as president for the first time, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself". That applies to this subject too. The PC Quilter comes with a detailed set up instruction DVD.
