Don't give up. It's just like any other skill you learn, just a learning curve. Just remember that you don't have to do it the way anyone else does it. You need to find your own "groove". Sometimes I quilt in a frame, sometimes not. Sometimes the project needs little stitches, sometimes I make them a little larger. Unless you're putting your project in a contest, do what is comfortable to you. Try different frames, needles, threads and techniques. Good luck, and keep trying :-)
