I know what the world is like these days, but it never ceases to amaze me the gall of some people! They must never look in the mirror, for they surely wouldn't like what they see! It is really sad that you had such an awful experience with that creature. I wish I could help, but know nothing abt. quilting machines. It looks like others are giving you some good advice. I hope it works out well for you.

i agree..it is just horrible..now what i would do is send her a registered letter stating that she has x number of days..lets say 10..to either bring you those parts or refund your money and if there is no respone she can expect to hear from your attorney..i;m not sure if you need this further aggrivation in your life now but a lesson well learnedand perhaps you can call the co up and get those parts needed..i wish you the best on this one

Be careful especially since you are vulnerable. It sounded to me like she has your address. Pay cash for nothing in the future. Lesson learned.
And please, PLEASE don't deal in cash anymore. At least buying with a check allows you time to see if you've been conned or not. Don't ever send cash through the mail either. It's a big NO-NO!
I also agree that you should not deal with this woman on your own again. She does sound crazy to me. Or at least just a bubble short of plumb. Get someone to help you with this.
But try not to let her off the hook either. What she did was despicable.
:cry:

This will cost you more money, but at least you will have a usable tool in the end. And you never know, perhaps they'll take pity on your predicament and cut you a deal. Worth a try.
My biggest problem was trying to figure out which layer went on which roller. I think God short changed my brain in that department.

All you wonderful people have made me feel better and lets me know the world isn't without kind, caring, people. Yes, I am afraid of her. If you could have heard her talk you to might think she is not all there. There was no reasoning with her and it was one lie after another. I do believe a person like that should be stopped from taking advantage of another but the situation I am in I just don't feel strong enough to go after her. She probably screws others all the time and I can ony hope that someday she will meet her match. I did order the upgrade kit and I was also given a good suggestion from a wonderful lady. She said she had a frame like this and the track would make noise because it was set into the groove in several pieces. She said to go to Home Depot and check out the material that holds ceiling tile in place for she is using it with her frame. Pretty nifty idea, if it will work with this one.
I truly appreciate all you gals advice and encouagment...you are the best of the best! Hugs to all of you. Will let you know how it all works out. I am really wanting to do some quilting. Mary

As a general rule, I've always been one to "stand up" and wouldn't let anyone get away with something like this...but I tell ya'...with the crazy world, her knowing where you live and knowing that you live alone....I probably wouldn't mess with her..who knows..she could be really dangerous..not worth the chance to me. Just get what you need and stay safe...hard lesson unfortunately learned. I'm sending you hugs...wish I was closer..I'd come help you put it together and figure out how to get it up and running.

quilters as a rule seem to be the most honest around and then there is always that one..but don't go down without a fight she might just be counting on you not to say anything, also you might consider posting on whatever site you bought from about her business practices so she doesn' hang someone else out to dry..good luck.. you're not the stupid one..she is...

So sorry for your experience. It is such a shame that people are so indignant when they get caught in doing wrong. Especially since I am sure she did know there were missing parts. I would have been glad to give your money back, but then I am not that woman. She will meet her maker one of these days and have some explaining to do.
