Same here, and yes, practice will make all the difference!
Enjoy it, that's what I love about it- so relaxing~
I learned that marking as you go works much better, too, by trial & error. I marked a whole quilt & as I worked on it the lines started disappearing. I found I can actually use the bottom of my lap quilt hoop (flat wood) as a 'table' to mark the blocks as I work on them. Works great!
