My first sewing class was in 8th grade, so if you are "smarter than an 8th grader" it's no big deal.

If you do decide to buy a machine, look for one with a little window that allows you to see how much thread is left on bobbin. Until those came along, unexpectedly running out of bobbin thread was a common curse -- or is that "caused common cursing"? Of course, that always seemed to happen in the middle of some fussy bit of sewing (or a long topstitch, of which there are plenty in X-Kilt).
