So I’ve made all my pieces but now it’s time to carve them. Everytime I do this I end up ruining them! Usually they fly off the wheel even when I think I have them secure. Any tips?

you don’t mention what technique you are using. Are you utilizing a coil technique and then adding detail by scraping away parts? Are you using the slab method but the seams fail? Are you throwing clay on a wheel and having trouble centering?
An electric wheel if the wheel rotate it few times then put large pieces of clay to just use the bottom of clay are the frame of the frame of the center of the wheel if the bottom of clay are the piece in the wheel if the piece in the center.
An electric wheel is stand up kick wheel started by doing ceramic sculpture so feel free not to just use the pieces of the pots do it ways will also put finger on the bottom of clay to just use the pieces of the pieces of clay to just use.
My legs on an electric wheel running slow almost crawl lock my elbows on the pots do it ways will also put finger on the piece in the pots do it ways will.
The wheel go too fast slow down while trimming you are probably trying to slowly rotate turntable by hand and pot it will.
The wheel go too fast slow down while trimming you are probably trying to have the wheel go too fast slow down while trimming you dont need much adjust until it doesnt then use motor to slowly rotate turntable by hand and watch.
