Sorry to say that it does take hours of practice. I've been at it for a few years and it takes patience and practice. Some days are better than others. The pajama quilter video is great. I bought that and the workbook.
Another thing that has helped me tons - is a sheet of plexiglass that fits between the rails on my frame. PUT TAPE ROUND THE EDGES FIRST. Ok, then, lay it on top of the quilt you are about to do. Start drawing with a visa ve marker or washable marker. Doodle on it. Use this plexiglass as a practice sheet. Drawing on that first helps with the hand eye coordination. Doing that has helped me lots.
