My wife and I both tried the winder, I figured if I had mechanical aptitude I could make adjustments to make it work. Worked for a while and then relaxed. The gears locked and you couldn't turn the handle, the wrapper arms broke free and hit the feed arm and table. The yarn slipped under the spool and sometimes the yarn slipped over the top of the cake. In both cases the resolution of the confusion was PITA. Overall spent more time getting it to work than winding it up.
