Okay, I have watched the video and I am still not getting it! And don't even talk about the written instructions...oyyyy! I am ready to toss this thing in the garbage...am I really that dumb to not get this?

No, you are not the only one. I sold mine in a craft sale last year as I could never get it either! And love the pic of your boxer. We have had two, they are the best dogs ever!

Yeah, I don't think you're alone - I read a thread somewhere else on here yesterday where someone could not figure the thing out even after watching a video.

I was completely spazzed out with this thing until I had someone show me in person one day and it clicked. It's fun once you have it down, but stiffer ribbon is more challenging, at least for the really small bows, which are the ones I've made.

It took me forever to figure it out. Videos, instructions. I don't use many bows so I'm thinking each time I go to use the bow easy it will be a struggle.

Is this the one with the sticks coming up that you wrap around? Yeah count me in, I got mine off QVC years ago and I was completely baffled by that as well and finally did get rid of it a while ago. It was not easy to use at all.

Thanks so much for posting that last video...I don't know if it was the better camera view or her explanation, but I FINALLY got it. Not goin' to lie, it didn't happen the first time, but I refused to give up and finally got it!

I had a terrible time with it too, my stamp store lady has shown me a few times but then I forget how to use it. I now put the bow easy in the same drawer as my ribbon so I will use it more often and not forget. How embarrassing! Thanks for the great video links.
