So sorry about your bad experience. You are not stupid. There are a lot of good people out there selling things. Good idea putting an ad in paper. If you bought it from someone on craigslist I think there is a area for complaints. Maybe you can at least keep other people from buying from her. Take care and good luck!! Nancy

I am so sorry such a bad thing happened to you. I lost my mom 18 months ago and would consider it a blessing if you would let me pay for the upgraded tracks you had to buy to use your frame.
I have the money and it is what my mom would do. please pm me and let one of the nicer (hopefully) quilters make you smile for a little while.

no, you certainly are not stupid-just too trusting. That's enough said. Your health is too important to dwell on this unfortunate incident-chalk it up to being too trusting and contact the Grace company. We deal with them where I work, they are always very helpful-tech support is awesome! Agreed you will probably have to spend more $ for new rails, but your new frame will hopefully more than make up for the aggravation! Good luck-with frame-and health!

I seen a Grace Machine Quilter [I think this is one of the first ones they made for a home sewing machine] advertised and went to see it during the week. I had been wanting to get something to make sandwiching and quilting easier for my bad back. The woman bragged it up and said it would be wonderful for a person with limitations like myself. It was taken apart so lots of parts to look at. The woman did tell me all the parts were there and told me to look it up on the internet to see what it looked like. I did, and then I decided I would buy it with assurance from the woman that she would come Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning to help me put it together. Saturday came and went and I thought I would start putting it together since I did have the instructions. I got as far as installing the tracks and discovered there were only two pieces of track but the assembly parts listed six.
I emailed her letting her know that these parts were missing and would she bring them with her when she came Sunday mrning. Did not receive any response from that. Sunday morning came and still hadn't heard from her so around 10:00a.m. I called her to find out when she was coming, for sure. Tried both her cell no. and house no. but no one answered. I then waited until noon and tried again to contact her, but no answer so I left a message saying I would like to have my money refunded because not all the parts were there and with no one to help me put it together I wouldn't know if I had it right.
Well about 2:00 she finally calls and acts all indignent about the matter and told me she was calling the cops because I had threatened her.! Ouch! I was so upset I could hardly speak. [she finally said she would come out. At first she said all the parts were there and then she says she used it with just the two tracks[one is a 60" and one is a 52".] She said I just had to move the tracks WHILE DOING THE QUILTING!! I reminded her that the parts list specifies 6 rails of varying sizes and it cannot be used without the tracks. She stomped and continued to say things that were not true. I wasn't going to argue with a crazy lady and it was clear to me she didn't give a hoot about screwing someone. I live alone and did not even feel safe with her. Now I know, I did some no no's such as paid her in cash, belived her when she said all the parts were there and belived she did intend to help me put it together...it wasn't in writing for I had mistakenly trusted her. I guess I am stupid to be that way, in this day and age of greed, but darn it why do some people have to be that way? I don't know what I will do next. I am supposed to be avoiding stress with recovering from cancer treatments. Will take a deep breath and hope this woman comes to her senses. Thanks for letting me vent. BTW does anyone have some extra tracks? :cry:

lying is not a crime, but being abusive to you is. so is bullying. if she's done either of those things when you asked for your money back, then you have cause to go to the police. she also sold something under false pretenses. the only way to know what the police can do, is to ask them.
definitely follow through on craig's list and all the other things people here have suggested. call the local paper and ask if they'd like a local human interest story.
