I have adjusted my frame up and down and am having a hard time finding the right heigth. Are there some guidelines as to a good height for the frame?

Kat,

When you are setting the height of you machine you should stand by the bottom pole at the front of your machine. When you arm is bent at 90 degrees, your elbow should be about 3" from the bottome pole. This should give you a good place to start with the height. Some people prefer their table to be a little higher or lower. Start with the 3" distance and decide which way is comfortable for you.

Good Luck,

Kat, just a quick reply. I have mine set with my belly button and the front pole lined up. In other words, standing close to the pole my belly button is right in the middle of the first pole.

Cheryl I also found that it is about 2 1/2 to 3 inches from the pole to my elbow, just like you said, but I never measured it that way until now.

Good luck in getting it set up right.
