Have you tried the videos on the Bernina site? The ones dealing with putting the fabric on the leaders and winding on to the bars are toward the bottom.

nursie,
Thank you . We did watch the video and just cant seem to get it right. something is always on the wrong way or the roller is going the wrong way.
We gave up for the night and we are going to try again tomorrow.
Any help is appreciated.
if the bars are on right the leader boards are wrong etc.
Thank you very much,
KJM

Not sure what you mean by the leader boards, but one tip...the bars will only roll one way. If they are not turning the way you need as shown on the video, the you need to take the snap on top off the bar and turn the bar end for end then snap the top back on and it will go 1 way, the other way. My DH and I had to do that. When you have it right, the top two bars rotate toward you and the bottom 2 away from you (when you are standing in the front of the frame, the side the ladies on the video are standing). If you need more help, PM me and we can arrange to chat.
