I have tried this 3 times and it is shredding under the hoop and stalling the design. The feet are down. Why is the stabilizer shredding?

Because you are using tearaway stabilizer. Is this a denser design? Tear away is great for hand stitching and light stitching. "Redwork", etc. However, on more detailed and denser designs (especially the compact ones), you end up sewing yourself holes in the stabilizer and it no longer does its job. I had a lot of issues with this until I found out what was going on. I never have that problem with cut away stabilizer, which is better for garments and holds up better in the wash, too. I very rarely use tearaway because of this issue.

I'm not really sure I bought this shredder for someone else. So far he hasn't had any problems but make sure the blades aren't clogged up with anything or it might just be defective. Hope this helps!

I made several things on mine and it didn't break, but then I didn't try to take it apart either. I'm fairly new to the rainbow loom, but from what I've seen so far some patterns call for the center row of pins to be offset from the two outside rows, and some patterns call for them all to be parallel to each other. My guess is that this loom broke when people tried to take the center row off to move it up so the rows were all even.

I don't know why your having this problem. I have never experienced this issue. It can be stabilized though. Tie a rope around the frame and attach each end to the end of the wood in the hammock itself. I have seen this work for those that tend to roll out when sleeping in the hammock.

Be sure the holes line up at the top. I had the same problem at first, when I put it together, it wouldn't raise. The inside spun but wouldn't raise, if that's correct, there might be an issue inside the tubing (is my guess). I would contact them direct if it isn't the lining up of the holes.

I was not successful in doing so. I tried several times to do as you tried to do without success. No way could I three leveled together. In its recommended configeration I couldn't complete turns within an acceptional radius without crashing into the curb. The kit is hanging in my garage collecting dust. Thinking I might try making a garden cart from the pieces. Would appreciate any design ideas.

I just got mine and have the same problem. Was thinking I could put the s-ring in the pre-made fabric loop.. but that doesn't seem safe.

you have to remove the basket (6 bolts) and then the top goes down fine.Its not difficult but it is a pain if you do it alot.You may want to get different bolts for the basket if thats the case because the allen heads on the supplied bolts wont last if you remove them alot.

It's really hard to move. Its a great hoop but I had 4 sandbags on it and it fell over during a storm so now I have 8 and no falling over but no moving it.

Have you got it yet? You may need a friend to help you. I had help. You have to twist it and line it up. Maybe go on YouTube and watch a tutorial on how to put the DIY hoop together, that helps a lot, Hope you get it to work because I've lost weight using mine.

Hi there. I would agree with lucky buck. Be sure it is level. I shimmed mine with small pieces of non corrugated cardboard, like from a cereal box. It is also good to put a drop of light oil on the metal shafts where they go through the white nylon rollers.

You will definitely want to tuck those away as much as possible so that it can be most effective. Anything that it may stumble upon it tends to bump into multiple times until backing up away from it or going over it but it could also get stuck on it and "error" shut off & then you'll have to move the object & restart it.

Ours worked great until we crashed it way too many times. After that it would get more than about 6 inches off the ground. So if you have crashed it a bunch, that might be the reason why

Mine has warped at the ends. Not safe without adding material at the ends so it doesn't trap a foot and chop it off. I have five of them and they all have done the same with warping. My bottom tray is not staying in place either. the track at the bottom doesn't hold it in place. Will be looking at a different brand.

Peak design also sells a separate part they recently came up with to address this problem. It is called the "pro pad stabilizer". I have one now and appreciate it very much.

I used turnbuckles first, had a heavy wind and they twisted off, so went to heavy weight rope and fastened it down with redundant systems and it thus far has sailed through the winds. I am planning to take it down for our winter season and store it until next summer.
