I have a Knifty Knitter and when I tried to use it, the stitches look way too loose.

The only way I can get my stitches to not look loose is by knitting with 2 strands of yarn at the same time. In fact, that is what the makers of the Knifty Knitter recommend. When I get new yarn, I just roll it into 2 balls instead of 1, and I knit with both balls, or I mix it up and use 1 strand of variegated yarn and 1 strand of plain.
You need to use a thicker yarn, or two or three yarns together.

I have had the Knifty Knitter for some time and have been unable to figure it out with the basic instructions.
I just bought the Knifty Knitter at Walmart. I can't get the tension right. Each time I loop around the pegs, it's too tight to work off, or it's so loose that it doesn't make a true stitch.
