Maride is right about it might be your machine. I have a Singer, which is now my back up machine, it will not do curvy motions, so I thought it was me, but my Janome does them and loves them. But, the practice won't hurt you. Good luck. Remember to have fun, cause that is what quilting is about.
See, you can do this too
