A tip for you. The large arm also has to be hooked around the Philips screw. Also it should be straight in front of the spool. That should help with tension 😊
Thank you for this. I literally just received mine an hour ago and tried it out and couldn't figure out how to keep the yarn guide from moving. This helped and the tips from the comments below.
Thank you for the tutorial. This was also on my wish list and bought it five years ago I took it out to use again and I don’t know why I cannot get the yarn to sit snuggly on the cone the cone seems to move so fast. Appears tight etc. Just putting this out here in case anyone else has a thought. Thanks again
just got mine today, but the skein I wound didn't have a center pull. It's Big Twist Soft. It's a wonderful machine, but I had to unwind a section from the skein, then wind/cake on the winder, stop, and repeat. It took a very long time and it was frustrating. But, the cake wound perfectly on the winder. Great tension, an I'm thrilled with the end result. But I can't find any info or suggestions to help with skeins without a center pull. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks for the great video. 🙂

Thank you @Kiwi Crocheter
Onde cmprar? Vivo na Espanha. Obrigada
Yes, it must be hooked behind the Phillips screw! That's why that arm was moving to the left.
This was so so helpful! Thank you!!!

Thanks. I was puzzled getting it out of the box - I'm visual and this really helped me get started. 😊
I didn't buy a ball winder for 25 years, trying to save money. Bought myself one for my birthday. I could kick my own butt for waiting so long!
Excellent instruction. Thanks
Best. Winder. Ever.
Ty very much for the video. You made it easy to put together with explanations. I just my winder today and will be rolling, rolling.😃.

thank you for showing us this I almost threw mine in the trash. lol
Thank you! Mine was just delivered today, so this is timely!
Yay! I hope you like it. I am really enjoying mine.
Loved this. Thanks for the tips.
Omg! Thank you so much I couldn’t figure out why my yarn wouldn’t roll evenly. It’s cause the arm was moving! I was getting super angry lol thanks!
Instructions show the long arm must be also around the Philip crew. The video didn’t do it correctly.
A ha! You just showed me what caused the problem I as having!
This is so lovelyyy
I have a question: is it possible to wind yarn with the dismal arm to the left instead of straight up? Thanks
Yes
I have the save wonder, but mine makes a very LOUD noise while winding.
Furthermore, I haven’t been able to wound lately, don’t know what’s going on
Thank you
Thank you so much!
How wide does it usually turn out Ik inches? I want to make a stand to hold 4 of then
I know this is 3 yrs ago but I'm wondering why she is caking a skein of yarn??? Why would you do that? I only cake the hanks. Did I miss something?
Thank you!
Check photo 1if instructions, long arm must be around Philip screw. Video is not correct about that part.
I need one of these
Please show new video applying the tension. Thx
So much easier if you use a umbrella instead of your hand
👍🏽
