It takes LOTS of practice....start with paper or a dry erase board. Repetition is the key. Once you think you have got it practice some more before you go to fabric and thread. Muscle, hand and eye control all need strengthening. Also before you start on a day of quilting do some warm ups on paper or your dry erase board. Even if I have done a panto on my Gammil repeatedly I will still trace my finger over the pattern to refresh my brain connecting the design. .......jmho
