You'll get the hang of it. Check your tension - don't be afraid of it: that's why they make it easy to adjust it! I found the easiest thing for me to start learning with was making cursive "e"'s over and over and over. Keep doing those until you get your foot, hands, eyes, etc moving in together the right way! Then "graduate" to cursive "L"'s. Then spirals and waves, etc. Then quilt your name! Before you know it, you'll be posting pictures of queen sized quilts and saying, "Look what I just finished!"
