I have the same problem.... Sometimes I am better and sometimes worse... My favorite time is after I have started cutting and sewing. I hate the start (yikes what if I cut this wrong or just have the combination as I get started) and hate the finish (quilting is not my strong suit, but I am trying to learn). I had my Handi Quilter frame loaded for almost 2 weeks before I could push myself to begin stitching. Just finished it today and pulled from the frame. Quilting sure isn't perfect, but at least now ready for finish.
