    I bought myself a Mega Quilter and an Inspira quilting frame in Aug. My hubby set the frame up for me. So tonight I FIANLLY get the time to play with it and the instructions are so frustrating! You would think that in this day and age you could get really good, clear instructions especially when you pay such high prices for things!! I guess I need to play when I am not so tired. Might have to take a day off work to play!

    If you haven't already, join the homequiltingsystems list at http://groups.yahoo.com . There is a lot of good information in the files, plus lots of experienced people who can help you over the rough spots.

    That is so frustrating. All we want is clear instructions. I'm sorry you are having problems.

    For the price of these new machines...there should be a manual, with lots of clear instructions and color illustrations that come with them!

    My mom got her first computer recently( she is 76) and she was appalled that there was no manual to read to get her over the rough spots!!! She has to have everything in minute detail and she wants to read it over and over until it makes sense to her!!

    I agree they need to provide clear concise instructions to follow on all these things!! Especially when you invest so much money and time into them!!

    "They" assume that everyone is computer literate and that you can find instructions for everything on line. Then when you do find it...they don't make sense.....infuriating! So sorry you are having problems.
