I am a beginner too. I want to do this determined but struggling. I took a class last week. Didn't really learn anymore than I have learn on here and various websites. I get puckers horribly but she did not show me anything to do to help. Just told me whatI already knew and said to practice. You might get a better instructor, actually mine was good but I knew pretty mush everything she was saying from this board mainly. I want to know more about what to do to fix what I am doing wrong. She said it took her a year to become good at it. So I am going to make some small sandwiches and practice as much as possible. Good Luck, I bet we will get there!
