Kathleen P 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 |
Nancy M mary Ann just thought take a clean cloth with a little machine lub and give the needle bed a quick wipe every once in awhile might help with static |

Nancy M shadow lace transfer tools |
Kerri P Love your shirt... I just bought one... |
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 It's ok now thank you |
Patricia J S Are you planning to address the weight of yarn required to knit FNR? |
Marjorie M Knitting.. Any suggestions for preventing the slip? |
Marjorie M I have rubbers that have the same selector piano top H on the bottom. Occasionally I have had it slip from H into P setting while nu |
