I just did a piece yesterday and the difference from when I started and when I finished was amazing. Practice, Practice, Practice!

Thanks so much for all the advice about appliqueing on my butterfly quilt. I have been practising your recommended method with an open toe. Never thought of that. What a difference. I kept the feed dogs up and I think I am going to start making the real appliques after a little more practise. Once again, thanks so much to you who are much more experienced than myself!!!! Pauline

Some pieces require you to stop more often, needle down, lift the presser foot, turn, and sew.
Some pieces you can just sew and turn at the same time...
The more you do it, it will become second nature for you :D:D:D
