I would suggest some instruction such as a Craftsy class. They are inexpensive, frequently $19.99 (like they are today). I especially enjoyed the class by Ann Peterson. If you go to the website, you can get little preview blurbs and lesson descriptions of the class. Some classes are quite basic and others are much more advanced. It is so hard to evaluate the difficulties someone is having by verbal description. It is easier to see someone else (who is skilled) demonstrate the skill and allow the viewer to consider a comparison of techniques and change styles.
