Hi Amanda, welcome to the Village. I'm Marg from Australia. Don't worry you are not the only female here, we need to stick together against these men. Yes scrolling is very much like sewing, which I was never very good at. As soon as I sat next to a scroll saw I was hooked, just like you, that was 16 years ago and I still love it. If you have any questions just ask, it doesn't matter how silly you think they are, ask, we have all asked them and still do in my case. Make yourself at home
Marg
