Helping you be a better Machine Knitter

Automatic patterning can feel like magic—until you understand the mechanics behind it. If you've ever been confused by punchcards, electronics, or carriage settings, this session is for you.
In this live event, we’ll break down the three essential conditions that must be in place for your machine to knit patterns automatically:
  • Pattern Instructions – from punchcards or electronic memory
  • Carriage Settings – controlling how the stitches are formed
  • Needle Selection – driven by your patterning method
Whether you're using a vintage punchcard machine or a modern electronic model, you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how it all works—and the confidence to try it yourself.
Stop guessing. Understand your machine
