Regardless of how you get into FMQ, it takes a lot of practice to get comfortable with the process and skilled at it. Just keep on plugging along. One thing I would say is to use community service quilts or something "not heirloom" to cut your teeth on. Children in hospitals won't care if the stitches are perfect. As you get familiar with the equipment, you will amaze yourself at the improvements. Hang in there - the payoff is worth it.
