DIFFERENT take on this. First, I think you are very brave to have signed up for this in the first place! That is definitely a plus :)
I noticed that you didn't say what exactly it is that you're having trouble with....???? Start there and do what it takes to improve. Ask for help...anywhere...including here! Then take the time to practice. I found that where I mess up most often is either in the cutting or sewing a straight seam. Bias pieces can also cause problems...it helps to use starch on those babies! Just KEEP Going! You will be proud of yourself in the end. (and so will we!) keep in touch here...maybe start a diary (PDA on the home screen) that we can all follow! Best of luck! What is your BOM like? I'd like to see it!
