    Well, I have been since Wednesday trying to get her set up. See first pic of boxes, 1 1/2 hours unpacking and sorting only to find the screws missing; called Grace and they sent them out. Got them yesterday. Took 6 hours to set up the frame all by myself. The frame is named Star. For those of you not watching MareStare, a bunch of us have been waiting for Star to have her baby for 5 days. I thought is was an apt name for the frame that kept me waiting. DDIL & DGS came today and helped me set up the machine. The last pic is my first stitches with it.

    I for one am majorly impressed that you were able to set it up. When I bought mine I paid extra to have someone come and do it for me. It took him about 3 hours of steady work, but I think it would have defeated me completely!

    I hope Star is easier to manage than the 4 legged one! ;-)
