| Sue Jalowiec bye everyone! I'll put up links and the chat in a couple of hours |
| Gabriele TS Thanks and good bye |
| Wilma T Thanks to Matt and you for all the info |
| Patricia B The note cards you gave us in the ribber KAL are very useful! |
| Karyn B Thanks Sue...diving into the Bootcamp class today :) |
| Karen P Looking forward to the ribber KAL and learned new stuff from the CO/BO/HEM challenge! |
| Judy P Thanks |
| Patricia B Catherine, I also have those cards with my Singer 700. Havenât figured out what to do with them yet. |
| Judy P Hint when youi make samples please make notes. Did some and can't remember just what I did |
| Beverly P Thanks! Looking forward to more information on patterning! |
| Judy P 260 COL move to right and no needles come forward |
| Colleen C ZaZa, not everyone has them and they have sophisticated patterns =( |
| Sherry G Thank you, I mostly need confidence building at this early stage, and this kind of information helps a lot. |
| Cindy Minota Thanks! Great teaser to get our cards and reader out of the box! lol |
| Mary Ann B Catherine I have those cards for my SRP60 ribber, but I don't know how they work. |
| Judy P did you have a chance to find out why my card wont read |
| Karyn B I have the old book on translating hand/machine stitches. Where can I find the new one? Thanks! |
| Gabriele TS I inspect the end stiches and in case I push it forward for not patterning by hand. |
| Catherine Z An old Studio/ Singer 360. |
| Eleanor L I know this is beyond what you are teaching today, but I love doing this set up for full needle bed both beds ribbing and use a pattern card. Can then use the card for most such as tuck or slip since there is always a rib stitch between each main bed stitch. Make very interesting patterns. Of course it works best using a 2/15 or 2/18 yarn. |
| Catherine Z Studio SRP50 ribber. |
| Marie-Jo C Can the machine be damaged if I use a bad card ? |
| Judy P how do you figure edge stitches for seaming with the cards?? |
| You would have to hand select the needles on the ribber |
| Catherine Z My ribber has it's own cards for different rib patterns. |
| Carol D Thanks, Catherine ... that's what I thought. :( |
| Catherine Z Cards only pattern on the main bed when you are knitting circular. |
| Eleanor L know this is beyond what you are teaching |
| Carol D Do the cards pattern on the ribber when you are knitting circular? |
| Nancy R I think they just repeat across the row. |
| Judy P your making me want a new machine that can do all that. It is hard to look at card and know what it might look like an the actual knitting |
| Karyn B Will a 1x1 punch card do the entire width of the knitting or can you make it do only a portion of the width, for instance, patterning only in the center. Does that make any sense? |
| Gabriele TS yes all clear |
| Margaret W Hi, this is Margaret from Malvern, England |
| Nancy R Is there a memory feature? That would be very cool! I always have to use math to figure it out. |
| Gabriele TS Really annoying is a mistake while patterning! Each time I have to figure out the routine for the memory-feature of the machine when ripping out! |
| Jere B Hi from Halifax, NS! |
| Christine P Hello from Ottawa Canada |
| Debbie R Debbie R Hi form Georgia |
| Gill K So itâs the blank and not the hole that shows the needle coming forward for tuck or is it the other way round |
| Patricia B I donât mean the direction of the card. Iâm referring to the carriage movement. |
| Jacqueline W Are needles selected on the punched hole or non-punched hole? |
| Debbie R Debbie R |
| Elizabeth Taylor Are the tuck needles the holes or white spaces? |
| Beverly P Is there a simple way to remember the sequence for seting up card and starting the pattern? I get so tired of forgeting one step and not getting pattern or a loopy mess?! |
| Eileen B Hello from Norway! |
| Patricia B I understand why lace cards are directional for carriage movement. Are slip/tuck patterns also directional? |
| Aly T Hi from Dublin, Ireland ! |
| Susan B Hello from Oklahoma |
| Hello from Ireland |
| Lorraine L remember on SilverReed we don't see selected needles which makes it harder to get |
| Emily S love your roses in the background!!! |
| Nancy M doing fine... we all need to understand what the differences are between how the different stitch patterns are made. |
| Mary Ann B I have used the same punch card for both standard and bulky |
| Judy P can punch cards for bulky and standard by interchanged ? |
| Petra M I will, Thanks for remembering |
| Sherry G I'm new and using a Toyota KS 901. Thank you for helping me to understand the mechanics and not just the buttons and levers. |
| Hilary A Greetings from Boston, UK |
| Les B yes your right |
| Nancy R Do a lot of fair isle, but havenât done a lot of slip and tuck. Not quite sure if the punch cards are different. |
| Gabriele TS Good evening and hello from Austria! Glad to join you! |
| Petra M Hi. If possible, can you address how to punch a card for double digit numbers and placce it in the feeder so they show up right on a double layer sports beanie ? I can't seem to wrap my mind around that.Thanks |
| Maria Ann Y That looks like a Studio Manual chart |
