The first three months I had my longarm, I would take people in to show it....write my name in cursive to show them how awesome it was...and promptly turn it off! LOL It is all about practice and confidence. Rome wasn't built in a day. You are your own worst critic. Once you figure that out...keep in mind that it just doesn't matter as long as "you can't see it from a galloping horse". Just keep practicing. It will come!
