| No, but is the best available |
| Charles D Is Silver-Reed the only brand of new knitting machine available today? |
| Jo W My first time here. Interesting discussion. Looking forward to future lessons. |
| You knit a U, two rows on the main bed then 2 rows on the ribber. |
| Marie-Jo C Is it possible to knit an open piece with the circular knitting ? |
| Lynnette D I struggle a bit with increases and decreases on the ribber |

| Cara Here. |
| Linda D canât find show notes for prior live shows |
| corrugated ribbing |
| Nancy M I really liked the racked lace-look scarf. |
| Marie B Courses |
| Anne A Can you touch on plaiting using the ribber? |
| Im a new machine knitter and will take the advise of waiting to use the ribber, but still learning a lot and enjoying so many new things |
| Linda B Still letting Singer560 studio |
| Phyllis K D Really enjoying the information, Sue. |
| Sherrie B Absolutely still with you! So excited. |
| Nancy M still here |
| Kelly C What is a really cast off period. Kelly |
| byron M I really learn here that it is totally otherwise with my machine - the passap - it works without any weight. And with out any ribber |
| Annette B hello |
| Lynnette D Ribbing doesn't roll |
| Mary Ann B Yes! Nice for scarves and shawls so you have it finished when it comes off the machine. |
| Kelly C sorry just got on I couldn't find you Kelly C |
| do any of these combinations cut down on the sides rolling |
| Mia F I still can't figure out why my stitches are not completely on both ends with the ribber engaged. The incompleted two stitches are just on the main bed. |
| Nancy M don't hit each others. |
| Lenore P Hi I just got on! Agree with Sue about needing very fine yarn for full needle rib. Also need to make sure your ribber is adjusted properly. |
| Joan W Thanks Annie but I love the look of fnr for collars etc |
| Nancy M also woth full needle you must be sire your set at half pitch so needle s |
| Charles D Am loom knitting while I learn about rubbers from this awesome presentation! |
| Annie L Joan try every other needle ribbing. |
| Sherrie B I enjoy the ribber, but agree with Joan. Full needle rib still evades me. |
| Joan W Also experiencing jams with full needle rib. Very frustrating. |
| Sherrie B Didn't say that! I LOVE doing hand knit and crochet additions to my machine knit pieces. So excited to find so many machine knitters! |
| Nancy M Some times hand knitting the ribbing is the only way to go.. using a circular you could pick up around the whole outside edge of a shrug, a cardigan, no seaming! |
| Peggy F Hello. Iam new from Michigan. |
| Hi Lorraine uk I not much for rib these days but moss stitch that would be nice, |
| Marie-Jo C Perhaps it could be a good idea to drop ever other stitch and knit it on the other side ? ? |
| SHIRLEY R Just done that. |
| But for those of us that donât hand knit, everything on the machine is our way to go! |
| Sherrie B New. Just subscribed. |
| Mia F moving the weights up very frequently |
| Mia F ribber |
| Nancy M Mia, are you moving the edge weights up every 10-20 rows? |
| Patricia H my g carriage was harder to figure out for me than the ribber |
| Nancy M Hey,Carol, check out the sponge bar on that machine and ribber before you use it. |
| Mia F I am struggling with the end stitches not fully completing the new stitch. I tried adjusting the tension mast to give it more slack and added end weights. |
| Alison J Taken off our ribber until we master the machine! :smiley: |
| Patricia H love mine, just jumped in and went with it |
| Karyn B I second Julie...jams galore. |
| Julie - I have a ribber and it works fine so long as there is no yarn. If I put yarn in it, the carriage gets jammed with every pass |
| Carol W Mine has been under my bed for years...could use your encouragement as I go forth in my new retirement! |
| Marilyn R Hello from MochigN |
