the 8's are crazy, leaning, not consistent even with drawing the lines. What I've learned from this lesson is that for me to do round shapes, I need to practice machine control on them, less control needed for flowy leaves. And....all work so much better on my LA in manual mode, 60%.

I thought swirls would be my biggest challenge but not so, it's circles. Most of them resemble river rock not circles and a few of them resemble lava rock-the kind that comes in a bag at Lowe's because we have no volcanoes in mid Missouri.
