It takes practice, a lot of practice, but it will pay off in the end. My first project was a small heart on a piece of fabric which I still have. One method I use is to trace my pattern, very lightly on the right of the fabric, cut a 1/8 of inch and turn on the marked line. I prefer to use a straw needle and silk thread. Some people use fabric glue to form(in this case flower petals)and them sew. Others use spray starch. I have heard of people using a toothpick instead of the needle to turn the fabric. I am sure you will find the method that best suits you. Your "aha" moment is in the making.
