Debbie, if you have any problems understanding the directions for setting up your frame, do not hesitate to call The Grace Company. They are the most patient, helpful and thoughtful people to deal with! I had a problem when I purchased the stitch regulator. It was "Operator error" (that would be ME!) but they spent so much time on the phone with me, sending me new parts thinking what I had was defective, and then just laughed when we realized the only thing wrong was the user!!!
