As I have learned in the last 7 days, as I am new to this too, is that there is no right or wrong. No question is stupid (or so I'm told LOL) so not to worry about that. While I can't help you with your corners as I am working on them myself, I can tell you that there are a host of wonderful people who can and who will answer you very soon. Good luck! Oh and what you think is horrible may not really be. We are most critical of ourselves. I know I am.
