The Internet is a beautiful thing, and I am sure you can find a wealth of resources for learning to use your machine... I love You tube, also, just a quick google of babylock esante how to use produced the following results:

Click on the link for "Online Classes"
I would also talk to the nearest sewing shop to see if they know of someone to help you out.
Then, just try it out and experiment,

Congrats! You will absolutely love this machine!!!
I've had my Esante for 3 years now and it's only been in the shop this year for cleaning. Yeah, I got yelled at (nicely though) about waiting so long.
It's a very easy machine to learn and has some tricks I didn't know about until I had it a while.
One really nice feature is there is a "lockout" at the top so if you have a stitch set up and little hands around, they can't accidentally change your stitch.
Any questions you have, just PM me and I'll help however I can. I LOVE my Babylock and the Esante is a great machine!!!
Have Fun!

Play around with the stitches, read the manual, and just try lots of things. I find that making a sample of many of the stitches on a large scrap of fabric is helpful as a future reference. (Mine also has an embroidery feature, with attachments and hoops, but I confess I have never used them. One day I will explore them too.)

I would love to get the "cadillac" but not yet in the budget. That is one AMAZING machine! And I agree -- Babylock's are very easy to use.

I had and older Esante which I owned for 12 yrs., it was a wonderful machine and the embroidery stitch was beautiful. I traded it in for the Ellegante, which I also love. You will have many wonderful hours of sewing on your machine.
That was so sweet of your Mother, to give you her machine. Happy sewing, and may I add, the Esante is user friendly. Have fun.
