I was watching a Craftsy class today about FMQ and an OnPoint class a few days earlier and they give the idea to just do a round circle where you might like a flower or another shape -- don't trace the detail --especially meandering or smaller as it is next to impossible to follow those lines and can cause more of a mess. Just to a few major lines or shapes that give a clue as to where to stitch--that way it is easier to change sizes and shapes.
