hi i can count the number of nets ive made on my fingers so im definately no expert and started in the same way as you asking the question on here . a couple of the answers i got was to get somebody to teach you ( strongly recomended ) or brian brindads net making dvd . i opted for the dvd as did not no anybody that could teach me although i did get some offers off here if i lived close . i really could not get on learning through textbook pictures but picked it up really quick after watching the dvd hope this helps
