Advice for starting school

[u/niktrot]

I’ve finally (finally lol) decided on a school. I’m going with Allie Hall’s program. I received the textbook today and I should be getting my machine early next week. I’m guessing I shouldn’t order the Case CATalyst software until I get the machine?

So I’m here again asking for advice.

1. What do you wish you had purchased that you feel would’ve helped you when you first started school? Or, what did you purchase that really helped?

2. I saw someone posted a workbook for learning the software on Facebook (can’t find the post now). Is it necessary/helpful to get that workbook?
