Lois - You didn't mention why your bread was awful. Was it over proofed? 
Did it not rise at all?

Instant yeast contains about 25% more live yeast than active dry. As such 
you can use 25% less. If you use the same amount, I would shorten my 
fermentation and proof times by 25% and see what happens.
