Hey, the bigger stitches fit the motif. Try just working on even stitches, then work on smaller stitches. My first 2 quilts were done (on purpose) with the bigger stitches just to get the "hang of it". Just don't give up!!! I have started back crocheting and believe me, I still don't get it to guage and I'm either too tight or too loose. That's why I don't do clothes!!! It'll come.
