Well, I just went to Nancy's Notions to see the demo and yes, it was chopped and incomplete, so I went to Martelli's website......and watched 4 videos on the "complete" process, phew.....it seemed like a lot of work to me.........then I went to their webstore and almost fell off the stool when I saw the price for the "complete kit" $149.99....way too much for me to pay. Like someone on board said, with just a bit more patience and practice and slowness, it can be done without all that mechanical stuff....but to each is own...........I did not realize they have only been in business for about 2 yrs..........JMHO
