sounds like you have all the right equipment but you lack the knowledge in how to use it!!! why not stop by a LQS or JoAnns and see if they could offer you a few tips. There are also a ton of good videos on YouTube but sometimes you really need that one on one personal touch....good luck, you will catch on. Remember, everyone had to start where you are today....a baby can't run a race before he takes his first steps!!
