It takes practice and more practice. I did lots of loops and swirls til it felt a little more comfortable. Took pieces of small print fabrics and put borders on them, loaded them on my machine (HQ) with back and batting and wrote nursery rhymes. The small print hid the mistakes but really helped build my confidence, then started with other little things like stars, hearts, etc. After they were quilted, I bound them and used them for donations. Everyone is being used and loved. Now I do everthing from small to very large quilts and don't do a lot of fancy stuff, just fun stuff and love being able to finish my quilts. It will take a little bit of time to learn but after a bit, you will be so glad you stuck with it.
