Hi Mona! I'm new at this also and I feel your pain, LOL. One thing that made piecing much easier for me is that quarter inch foot. That and accurate cutting. If you don't have the quarter inch foot you can place a small square ruler under your pressure foot and lower your needle on the quarter inch mark. Then, just but up several thicknesses of post it notes next to the ruler and Voila! - instant seam guide. Hang in there and don't give up. My first quilt (baby quilt) has been pieced and put away for a couple of weeks while I take time out to practice my free motion skills. I practice for an hour or so each day and I'm ready to quilt it now! So, practicing helps a lot also. Good Luck. I know you will be successful :D
