It takes time for the brain/hand coordination to be learned. It really isn't easy for me, but I keep trying. I bought some large check size gingham fabric to make a quilt sandwich to practice on. I practic straight lines. I try doing circles in the squares to practice making the circles the same size. I use the straight lines to practice returning to the same point like in flourishes. I can't say that I'm learning very fast, and it's taking me a long time to learn this skill.
