put on some music and relax! You'll do just fine. I totally "unquilted" a quilt that I did cause I wasn't happy with it, used a mustache trimmer and redid it!! So there are NO mistakes you can't undo

Don't worry! You can do it!! Just "dive" into it. AND, don't worry if your stitches are different lengths.....you have to find your rhythm and it just takes time.

Breathe and relax, if you don't relax, it will show up in the stitches.
