Yep, up the amps, and move slowly, the aim is to 'puddle' the molten metal and 'drag' it along the join.
Also, you can make up larger holes with several smaller patches to make it easier to shape. Have a hammer handy and as the metal gets warm with the welding you will find it is much easier to bend into shape and form curves etc. it will 'stretch' a certain amount too. I have an assortment of bodyshop hammers with points, flats, shrinking heads etc which come in very handy! You can never have too many hammers!
Well done, though, it is the start of a very satisfying journey!
