Concentrate on getting the stitiches uniform. Don't worry about how small they are, If they are all the same size it will end up looking good,and as you get more experience with it your stitiches will become smaller. Enjoy

It doesn't matter if your stiches are close together, but better that they are evenly spaced. Practice by making a quilt sandwich using some gingham. This will help it to go better. I have also heard that polyester batting is easier to hand quilt.
