Spring Babylock in Mixed Metals

I love the mixed metal babylock but I wish I would have gotten it without the spring. I got the spring babylock because I felt it would be more secure. The spring on the babylock makes it very difficult to put on and take off, even when you have small fingers. The spring is very difficult to pull back due to the size of the babylock. I need help putting it on and taking it off. This is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 atars.
