Ok, I really need some advise. My mom was given both machines. We are currently to understand how to make them work. They both come with manuals but I think that I am doing something wrong. I have tried to do the cast on anda few rows but they are just a tangled mess. Do you have any advise? Also is one easier to use than the other? I know that I am alittle over my head here any advise would be great. TIA Jennifer
