Meandering is hard to start out because it takes time to get smooth curves, I think. I started with a pattern that had places to stop without messing up the curves. It was a C that looked like little waves all over the quilt. It gave me a place to pause, at the inner top of the C and then I went back over the curve about 1/2 in apart and on to the next one. Another good one is doing loops. The loops that make little cheerios and then on to the next one also give you a spot to pause where they cross the stitching line. Keep at it and you'll soon be doing well.
