I live in France and would love to make contact with other double bed knitting machine owners.
Kind regards, Penelope Skea
In response to the query about this stitch/yarn thickness and 1×1 patterning, 4 ply is too thick for Double Jacquard. Effectively it has become an 8 ply fabric. 1×1 patterning always causes problems with LILI buttons. You get a sort of ragged zigzag. The only solution I have found is to revert to striper backing, or try a double length 1×1 pattern.
All of the stitches knit across the work, it’s just the edge five or six stitches that miss. I have tried loosening and tightening the tension to no avail. The worst side for missing was the left, the side nearest the fine thread. I use a Knitmaster 580 and have set the pattern two or three stitches in.
Just a thought – do you need to use extra weight on the edge stitches?
Regards Sue

Does any one know of a knitting machine cabinet and storage cabinet/bench that is in good condition and is for sale?
I am looking to purchase one in a light coloured wood and am able to collect within a reasonable distance from Lincoln
There is a cabinet on eBay at the moment but it’s in Bexhill-on-Sea.
Item No. 150449901607; ends 6th June at 18:52.
The starting price is £30.

Sue.
Firstly, many manuals say that I should be using approx tension 4 for 4ply. When I tried that it was almost impossible to pass the carriage from one side to the other. I cannot knit lower than tension 7 (which is still pretty tight) – am I doing something wrong?
Secondly, and most importantly, I am not happy with the way that the stitches line up. One of my patterns have a feature of alternate colour stitches in a row (i’ve attached an image of part of the design, as well as the final result). Once knitted the stitches of the same colour clump together, almost creating a line.
The same applies to the back… I have knitted this on birds-eye setting (lili) and again, they are almost lines.
If anyone can explain why this is happening I would be extremely grateful. I’ve read every manual and searched the web, without any luck!
Please help!

Has anyone got a diagram of this please? I am not sure how to cope with the tuck stitches when the needles are in holding position. This is for a lovely Nina Miklin cardigan. Many thanks Gilly
There are a couple of things you can do.
On the row before you put the needles in holding position bring those needles which will be put to hold to upper working position so that they will knit their stitches. Then you will not be putting needles with multiple loops into holding position.
Alternatively you can transfer the stitches to the bed which is knitting stocking stitch and put those needles in holding position.
I hope this helps solve your problem
Regards
Sue.

My name is Maggi Bloice and I live in Brittany, as a knitting machine collector I have several of the Singer/Superbas and they are incredible machines, I find that France (or Brittany) in my case is a bit of a desert for machine knitters, I did advertise a few years ago for interested parties to contact me and I had a few responses but most were too far away.
kind regards,
Maggi
