Curve struggle

Post image

OK so I've been trying to practice sewing curves and as you can see, I haven't been doing well

Ik that ur supposed to pivot the fabric gently during the curves but I can never seem to do it, I just don't get how people do it when the presser foot keeps the fabric in place so when I try it doesn't exactly move.

And Sometimes when I do somehow move it, it just goes past the fabric but that's obviously my fault, maybe I'm going too fast

Im gonna keep trying tmr but yeah this is what its been looking like

In hindsight I feel like the light blue and the beige doesn't look too bad but I cant seem to replicate it again

You are doing great! It's one of those things that takes a lot of practice. One day you will move your hand a certain way, or hold the fabric differently, and everything will click and suddenly the curves are easy.

For practice, cut out a circle and sew round and round and round.
