I do not know why all the notes have been erased. The comments are light compared to what you would receive in the field if you showed up for a job and everyone found out you were a beginner. My work passes less than 70 % of welders, many with 20+ years pipe welding all over the country. Here are a few pictures I took in the shop of a hot tap mockup.
Hooda, I suggest you find someone who knows what they are doing and they can help you with the proper settings and techniques. With some practice you will become more consistent but it will take a lot of hood time. I attached the pictures to show the type of consistency that is typical of a professional welder.
