Keep trying, you can do it. It really does take practice. Go to http:/daystyledesigns.com she has a lot of information. Don't give up. A suggestion, make pot holders, 8" squares sandwiched with insulbrite, and quilt them they work great as presents. Keep your chin up, and practice. It's a hand/eye/foot coordination. You did not learn cursive in one day, and this is definitely more complicated. People also say the draw with a pencil on a piece of paper before they start to fmq. Good luck, and don't get discouraged.
