Chances are very high that if you posted a picture the problem would be pretty much invisible. And not every technique is for everybody. I was a dreadfully perfectionistic knitter, so when I took up quilting I vowed never to rip anything out, no matter what....it's led to some creative applique, some pretty hideous FMQ (which the recipient still thought was brilliant) and amazingly few orphan blocks. Pick something fun and do that. Maybe you don't even really like SID.....
