Anita:

Sounds like you have the basics down.  There is a special bit that I believe 
has a different angle cut so it is less likely to 'grab' at the end.  I have 
been lucky so far with standard bits though.  Work on a flat surface like a 
piece of scrap wood.  Place tape (painters works well) before you cut.  Keeps 
the edges smoth and looks nice when you pull the tape off.  Use a hole saw for 
large holes.  Use a lubricant (water? kerocene) when cutting...
