Hi I love hand knitting? But have a knitting machine and ribber given too me do not know how to use it I really would like to use is it hard too learn and would it be worth me paying the fee to learn

Eleanor L
Full needle rib makes a nice tie belt for a dress. Full needle rib makes good front bands for sweaters.
Nancy M
Make sure your clamps are tight on both the main bed AND the ribber as any jiggling of ribber could cause it to slip a needle or half needle off alignment
Scott V
do you have a video for dbj on the site
Mary J
half pitch=happy pitch. Pitch, think P which could look like a needle if you laid on side and two together will 'butt heads'
Marjorie M
Not number to slip from H into P. From being able to knit with every needle into total clash.
Kerri P
Maybe that is a way to use a slightly heavier yarn?
Kerri P
Can you FNR every other needle on both beds?
Mary Ann B
Marjorie, I have that happen when the yarn I'm using is too thick for the project. I have to push the carriage hard and that forces the ribber bed to move.
Morag W

Patricia J S
