I taught myself to sew on an old singer when I was 7 or 8, I really think you will be surprised how easy the machine itself is to use. Just familiarize yourself with the thread loading and whatnot. Then find a pattern or figure out what you want to make and prepare for a failure or 2 but really its not that hard and yo'll get the hang of it sooner than you think. The machine you get won't matter horribly, pretty much anything by singer/brother/janome will work for starters, although cheaper ones I would say stay away from "thicker" fabrics. Anyway I would say finding on on ebay isnt a bad idea at all. Then just play

i taught myself as well , the machine should also come with a booklet that will show how to thread and also how to load your bobbins , any trouble with anything there is always youtube , the sewing part is easy .

I got my machine at Walmart it is pretty easy to use, it has a ton of different stitches but I mostly use one or two. I have had it for 3 years and use it quite a bit sometimes and it still going strong.
