Persevere. My DIL got one as a wedding present and after lots of
practise makes all sorts of wonderful pasta with it. I've had a go on
her handcrank machine and found I really needed a spare pare of hands,
one pair to feed and crank and the other to catch the pasta. DIL found
the same to begin with but now manages by herself.
