For all you people who are learning to spin, if you have any problems, you can always PM me and I will try to help. I seem to be a really good teacher.
I don't know where you bought your wheels, but for anyone who is looking for one, I have met and dealt with Susan McFarland, who owns Susan's Fiber Shop, and she is the type of person who really knows spinning, and has a
wide selection of wheels, really knows her wheels, and will do her best to find you a wheel that suits
you. She's not the type to try to sell you something more expensive just so she can make some extra money. She always has an ad on the inner back cover of Spin Off magazine. Or you can find her on the internet here:

The most versatile wheels out there are the Schact, Majacraft and Lendrum. If you start out thinking you want to spin heavy singles, and then later discover your real love is spinning lace yarn, you don't need to get a new wheel. A new whorl or two, or a few other-sized bobbins, and you're in business spinning something different.
Good luck to all the new spinners!
