One of the first surprises for most new machine knitters is the fact that the humble garter stitch is problematic on the knitting machine.

Because our needles face in one direction and they form uniform stitches in one direction, we can easily produce stockinette stitch (translated knit 1 row, purl 1 row) but to knit every row?

Let's talk about the many ways that we can add garter stitch to our machine knits.

Annie L
Did Silver Reed ever get a G-carriage?
Les B
Finally got you. Sue on my kindle
Emily S
is that a magnetic tool holder behind you????!!!
Mary K
don't use garter bar if gauge is Tension 3 or less I have been taught. it will tear your yarn.
Annie L
Increases also.

Garter bar is very important when knitting yokes on yoke sweaters. Works great!
Mary Ann B
Somewhere I have seen instructions for modifying a P carriage for a Brother. Unfortunately, I don't remember where.
Mary K
Decrease/increase with garter bar
Jacqueline O
Evenly distributed inc/dec
Barbara W
Ok!
Jenny M B
Use garter bar to take knitting off and replace on fewer needles.
Jody A
decreasing stitches
Mary Ann B
I generally use a small needle - just so the stitches fit without stretching.
Barbara W
What is a P carriage?
Emily S
when hand knitting the bands with garter... is there a good way to guess what size needle to use?
Mary K
finally on!! I restarted my computer, now I get you
Betty E J
how handy is a garter bar?
Mary Ann B
Mine's in the box. I've been scared off I think. Must try it.
Joan W
Silver Reed requires you go across with a P carriage before using transfer tool to extend the needles. Then works really well with any rib configuration.
Jenny M B
Wouldn't be without my Brother transfer carriage!
Emily S
does the device only work on standard gauge?
