Thanks; you know I'm just probably making more of it than there really is (again). Patience is the virtue, which is its own reward. I looked at the little I've done now and think: "Hey, you just learned this, give yourself some slack." It really is amazing to see it take shape as the raw edges go under.
I found a small grease mark on the fabric this morning and panicked, thinking "Oh no, I'll have to start over", then laughed remembering I can always wash the thing later on. Soooo... silly.
Silly Steve, yup, that's me!
