Then make your practice pieces into potholders. This is what I did.

Yep, just like how to get to any goal worth having.

I would say that is what makes perfect ... but that hasn't happened to me yet and probably never will ... and I don't want to depress you. I would rather say you get a whole lot better and it shows.

I don't want perfect, that is why I don't pay someone who has a computer to do it...but that is just me.

if you can't do it freehand then get a stencil and mark it.
After a few times marking and quilting you will begin to see the pattern. Two or three companies have a stippling stencil. Look at www.quiltingstencils.com at theirs
