So I got a quilt frame in January and here it is 3 months later, finally got up enough nerve to try it out.

What a pain in the butt!!!!!

After attaching all the fabrics on all 4 leader strips what seemed like fifteen times before finally getting them right, I start using it...only to find out it doesn't want to do curves, just more like right angles. Now I understand why his demo on YouTube shows the quilting being done at such a slow speed of movement - what a huge disappointment! This model is one that Kenneth Lund makes and markets, and the carriage for the sewing machine is quite disappointing, to say the least. I don't know if WD40 will make any difference on loosening the wheels on the trolley or not, but I am very much less than enthralled with it. Does anyone out there have any ideas as to how to get this thing to work? I hate to see my money and other's hard work go to waste with this thing...
