Sewing machine help

I have an old Kenmore sewing machine that was given to me-it sits inside a wood 'desk'. The problem is that the bottom thread is always looped. I tried to tighten it but I just don't know what I'm doing!! Where could I get cheap lessons? I would love to start making things myself. To make a quilt for our bed would be something I would want to start with. I've heard this is the easiest to learn with. And, I've been looking for a quilt that I love for almost 2 years and haven't found one!
Anyway, I need help with:
1) how to make it stitch right
2) I have a whole box of attachments that go with it and I don't know what to do with it. ( I also have no manual- I have found a site that has one but it costs money!)

Also, where do you get your material from? Walmart is expensive for fabric unless you get it in the clearance bin and of course most of those patterns are ugly!

Thanks for your help
Amy
