WELCOME FROM MANITOBA, Yes, it takes practice.. I started sewing clothes, nightgown with a yoke 1st sewed the sleeve to the neck, refusing to take it apart, crying didn't help any, moved on to knits, many other fabric trials, in long run allowed me to make income working in retail fabric shop. Then wholesale fabrics... Quilting was another excuse to collect more tools and fabrics but required precision.. Self taught, now so much in tutorials and lots of help guilds association to learn from..
