So, after a wee delay I FINALLY have my Grace Sturdy-Lite frame set up. It's beautiful. I'm excited. Ready to drive over anything that's not nailed down. Except....
The little strip that you use to jam the fabric into the rail IS MISSING. Like, wasn't shipped. The tool is here, but the stripping is not. I have a call into the place I ordered from, but it will be several days before anything comes in the mail, kwim? What do I do in the meanttime? I wanna say it's like weatherstripping or something...what can I do to try out my machine and frame this weekend?
AAaaaaaaaarrrrrghhhh!

yes when I set mine up I cut the tubing for a queen, now I added the other piece and had to get new tubing, some is softer than others and easier to get in but it all works as long as you don't get it any bigger than the one for aquariums, good luck

So, after a trip to Home Depot to get 3/8ths tubing ($8) and sending hubby back to exchange for 1/4 inch tubing ($5) I have the leaders all installed. I'm so stoked!
Oh, and got a call back from the sewing machine place.
Oh, and re-looked through my instructions....and I suspect they DID send tubing, and it is stuffed in the aluminum rails, that are attached to the frame. :oops: But for $5...I'm totally not taking apart the tubes to get to them.
