I think they look fine. I agree with some others who say start small. You can't expect to be an expert on all the fancy designs after a bit of trying. And, you will never be perfect at it. No one is. You can get to be very very good, though, but that takes practice. I am not to the very very good yet, and may never get there, but I am at a place where I am satisfied. My stitches are mostly even and I am comfortable with a meander now. I'm branching out to stenciled designs but that is taking more practice. Don't set the bar so high right now. You can always move it up with more practice.
