Youtube is your friend, at least it was mine when I was first getting familiarized with the basics. I started with getting a pretty basic Brother machine for quilting (that's what first got me interested in sewing). And then I went to the store and looked at patterns, picked out some I liked (and were way too advanced for me) and then kind of went from there. Anytime I would come to a part that I was confused on,I would look it up. I got all my basic items like pins, pincushion, tailors chalk, gauge etc...all from walmart or amazon
Edit: and I got this book, I got an old used version and its kind of outdated, but the instructions and techniques stay the same, was SUPER helpful http://www.amazon.com/Simplicity-Simply-Best-Sewing-Book/dp/073942100X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1376504091&sr=8-2&keywords=Simplicity+sewing
I want to recommend this book. I checked it out of my local library a few weeks ago and found a lot of useful things in there including how to diagnose thread problems like tension.
