and I've tried for over a week to get the hang of it. It is so frustrating! I spend most of my time trying to get the PVC pipes that came with it in the right place. I can never seem to get them balanced right. There is maybe one place in the middle where I think that maybe it's working the way it's suppose to and my sewing doesn't look like something out of a horror movie! I'm so disappointed with this system. I'm on a budget and this is what I could afford. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm ready to throw it in a closet somewhere! :-(
