So for now, it's just practice, practice, practice.
Good luck!

I agree, the hard part is following the design. I recently bought a quilting frame and some pantographs (paper designs). I've only tried it once on the frame with the laser light and it was really difficult to stay on the lines for me. I can stipple just fine, but know to master a design is going to take a lot of practice. I think trying to follow designs would be easier just using the machine and moving the material with my arms rather than doing it on the frame. Good luck!
