Hi all...new to this machine sewing thing. Have only ever been able to sew on a button, but want to make some stuff for my wildlife photography and take up my walking pants so I don't look like Charlie Chaplin.  Just purchased a Brother A16 and hoping I can get the hang of it. People have been really helpful so far...thanks

Welcome from me too.  We're always happy to give advice but you may end up with several machines and a large fabric stash  :devil:

Welcome!

I have a stash of camo...Desert, forest, digital, purple, blue, orange, black, pink, winter, Real Tree, Mossy Oak, lot of other brands, forest, M1942 Frog Skin Tiger Stripe, urban multicam,...in twill, nylon, duck, mesh, jersey knit, velvet (yes, they made this a thing), velour, sateen and satin.  I think I even have some silk.  I also think I am missing some types and at least 3 major brands of it.

In all fairness though, I live in the rural part of the Southern US.
