The Magic of Automatic Patterning - Replay Live Archive
Punchcards or Electronics, automatic patterning is one of the many reasons we all LOVE our knitting machines.
Think about how quickly we can knit in multiple colors. Adding texture to your knitting with tuck and slip is a snap!
Let's take some time to marvel at the brilliance of these wonderful machines.
Without getting nerdy and technical, expand your understanding of your machine. It will go a long way the next time you sit down to knit in pattern and help you troubleshoot when something goes wrong.

NEW COURSE: "Automatic Stitch Patterning"

Sue J J thanks everyone "see" you next time! |
Dawn W Thank you Sue. |
Maurie H Yes and she was very expensive and to get her book it is almost $5000.00 no kiddingalmost $5 |
Mary J meant to say each lever should move and return the same speed on each lever. |
D M What happened to Manon Salois? |
Wilma T I think the cheat sheets will be so helpful!!!! Thank you Sue and Matt |
Marjorie M what was the class you mentioned earlier? |
Carol E Thank you Sue. I think understanding the carriage actions are imperative to understanding your machine. |
Mary Ann B That was very helpful. Not to just remember to take a breath and check all items BEFORE i pass the carriage and drop the knitting |
Nancy M on my 601 there's thecaddition of a reverse lever that switches the needles that work dont work. |
Patricia H Thank you Sue! |
Maurie H they both are working will do it one more time and it better work |
Priscilla D I have used a label maker on all my carriage and main bed symbols |
Mary J crazy laptop. fairly quickly. |
Pauline P Very helpful as always Sue. Thanks a lot. I look forward to next time. I hope you all keep well and safe. Pauline |
Morag W Thank you Sue I want to do another knitalong this knitting is addictive!! |
Mary J maurie, make sure the flippers on each side are moving quicker than the other.airly quickly. Sometimes one will work |
Catherine G That was great, thank you Sue! |
Wilma T I thought we were talking about the silver reed side levers not lever next to the punchcard mechanism |
Maurie H did everything, and my flippers are moving the way they should |
Uchenna A Hi everyone |
Marjorie M Pauline P Thank you. If that is consistent, I golden. I did do the marker thing on my LC2. If that is consistent across carriages, the marker is coming out on all of them. |
Silvana J Great idea, I love cheat sheets they help me a lot |
Catherine G Triangle and circle ... I think of driving and road signs (UK). Circle is stop, don't go, doesn't happen. Triangle means go ahead but with caution. Hope this helps a bit! |
Nancy M Mauri, check that the carriage is lint free on those flippers...if one doesn't flip right it'll mess up |
Wilma T The LK150 also has the circle and triangle for slip and tuck. No punchcard there Pauline, so not helpful for this machine. I always do it wrong, need to grab my manual each time |
Marilynknitnsew Hello from Michigan |
Maurie H did about 50 times or so it just tells me where to go, |
Pauline P Marjorie, circle - needles knit in stockinet only. Triangle - knits patterns using a punchcard. Hope this helps. Pauline UK |
Nancy M set to stockinette for sure!! been there dropped that. ! |
Maurie H What is driving me crazy right now is that I can do every stitch on my Singer 560 but no fair iles or knit in and I cannot figure it out |
Marjorie M Do you have a good memory aid for the Silver Reed side levers? Triangle and circle, I canât keep them straight. |
Glenda M Hi Sue happy I cud make it! |
Morag W I just moved the lever on the front of carriage that nice to see what goes on underneath |
Silvana J It makes total sense, thanks for explaining it so well |
