REALLY pay attention to how and where you are stitching. Leave large spaces between your "rounds" so that you have space to stitch out of the spiral. As you come out of one, stop, plan direction of next spiral (swirling left or right) and where it is going to be placed, then go for it. You can practice on paper as Cybrarian suggested. It took me a while to train my brain to make one to the right and next to the left. Hope you get the hang of them, they are fun to make.
