I'm having a very hard time distinguishing between the positive and negative in any given pattern. If I see it cut I'm fine but it doesn't just jump out at me. Will this come with practice or is there a general rule of thumb I should be applying?

Thanks all. Haven't had much time on the saw. My 6 yr old daughter begs to do woodworking so I've been doing projects with her. Still looking forward to scrolling
