Sewing Machine

I finally opened up my sewing machine box today. I also took out the machine, looked at it-I even found the secret compartment that held needles and bobbins and such. It's a pretty machine-it's green with Hello Kitty on it! It's actually a Janome. I read through the instructions, but I'm not quite sure I get it. Unfortunately, and somewhat surprisingly, it didn't include any thread. I think I'll go to JoAnn Fabrics and ask what kind of thread I should get for the machine. I also plan to pick up a TV tray so I can put the machine on it, as there isn't a plug convenient to the dining room table. I wish I had someone who could come over and show me how to use the thing. Oh well, I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually!
