Awesome! Yeah, a different folding technique was like a miracle in the amount of difference it made getting it to go in there. The first attempt took forever, hurt like bejesus and I was like "okay, am I totally defective?? Why doesn't this work?" But I was determined--I spent the money, I was damn well gonna get through one period before I bailed, and the LJ community was such a good resource not just informationally but for the knowledge that there were other people who 1) HAD problems instead of immediately being "OMG CUP YAY!" and 2) that those who had problems usually seemed to figure them out with practice. I hope it works for you, I am so happy with it now and it really does get a lot easier once you've managed your first successful insert/retrieval.
