Hello
Does anyone know of any repair people or shops for the Brother KH-260 bulky knitting machine? I’m located in Western Washington. The carriage is jamming in the left-to-right movement and I’ve already done all the problem solving, cleaning and oiling I know how to do from YouTube etc. Thanks for any help, Jean
Have you tried Knitting Paradise for help? There are lots of machine knitters on there. The Answer Lady on You Tube is also a good source of repair videos. Something may be bent on one side of your carriage, but you could also try rubbing an anti-static sheet over the bed and the carriage. Something like Bounce laundry sheets often seems to cure machine tics.
