Hello!
I haven’t officially become a member yet, but I am working on it. 
I’m wanting to know how the proper process of finding help with learning how to use the embroidery machine goes.
My brother and I have a friend group we’ve built by combining our friends (all in our 20s). We like to plan camping trips and other travels together. This weekend, my brother and his fiancée are having a combined bachelor and bachelorette party. They had me pick a theme/decorations and because we are having this party at a lakeside cabin, I chose to make it sort of 70’s summer camp themed. Today I got the idea for us to start our own sort of parody scouts club and I found demerit/merit badges for adults online (funny ones like one with someone throwing up and bad karaoke with a microphone on it, but also more serious ones that actually celebrate milestones like having a baby or getting a promotion), but they’re a little pricey and I would just like to know how to make my own. If it sticks and we actually do stick with our little club, I might even want to get my own embroidery machine for it and other ideas I have.
I have no experience with an embroidery machine, but have done some hand embroidery projects.
Could someone help me learn how to do this? I know it’s a stretch, but is there any chance someone could teach me this week so I can possibly make them by Friday? Am I allowed to ask for help learning something when I’m not a member yet? I have many questions!
