Miscellaneous

Hi
I live in Croydon and need help to re-educate myself on my Knitmaster 321 after 20 years plus and I especially want to learn how to do single motifs.

Hi
I’ve just gone back to my knitting machine now I am retired and cannot find my Mylar sheets. Does anyone know where I can get any? There are a few used and unused on eBay, but unused are expensive. Thanks for any help.

Needles 52-60 knit in moss stitch when knitting from right to left. The sponge bar and all needles, including the garter carriage needle, have been checked. The garter carriage has also been tried out on two other similar Brother machines. Do I need a new circuit board, because it will knit some patterns from the manual. Has anyone else has this trouble? I’d welcome any help please.

Hi
I was just wondering if Fair Isle will work if you are only using every other needle when using a Singer 560?

Please can anyone point me in the direction of a club in the Bideford or Barnstaple area as I would like to join and share my interest with other members. If not it would be nice to start one up.
Many thanks, Joy

My mom is having what may be the same problem as another poster (see JESDSBITS January 27,2013). The KL116 wants to feed the Mylar sheet upwards instead of downwards fed from the top. I tried to post in that thread but couldn’t figure out how to reply.

It took us ages to attempt to thread it and now we can’t get it to knit. It will do the first row, then undoes it when we take the carriage back. We’re totally new at this type of knitting and have no idea at all. Youtube failed me as well, so can anyone explain to me, please, how you get the machine to knit? Is there an online help somewhere? I have looked, but can’t find it. Many thanks.

Hi
I hope someone can point me in the right direction of what to do or try. I haven’t used my knitting machine (Brother 950i) and motor drive (KE100) for ages so I am very rusty. Thankfully the machines aren’t! and before using the 950i I cleaned, oiled and changed the sponge bar. I was trying a sample yesterday when the carriage jammed and the motor drive safety mechanism kicked in by releasing the carriage from the motor shuttle, as it should. I cleared the problem and tried to reset the motor but it will not move the shuttle. In days gone by when this happened I did not have a problem resetting the shuttle and restarting the motor. The power light is on but nothing happens when I press the foot pedal. I’ve taken the pedal apart and checked visually for loose or burnt out wires and that’s OK. I don’t know if it is the motor sensor, yarn sensor or something else. Can anyone help please?

Hi
I badly need a new lamp to illuminate my knitting, particularly in the winter months. The lights I have seen are expensive so want to get the right light. Please can anyone advise?
Many thanks.
