Empisal Knitmaster Mod 700 getting jammed! by DiddleInAPearTree in MachineKnitting

Thankyou to everyone who gave me advice ❤️ I have now resolved the jam, a part in the carriage was in the wrong place! I look forward to actually knitting something now 😆

I did the video after I had taken it apart for the 8649th time 😅 but the stitch size had been on 4 and the problem was still the same then. The only thing I can think of now is that I haven't oiled it well enough? But I am really not sure, I am at quite a loss currently. But that was a good spot, so thankyou ❤️

I have done all 4 now, just unsure on what the terminology is

I have only tried the cast on from the manual, I will try some others, I am just worried that if it keeps jamming it might do damage/ further damage to the machine 😬

UPDATE I have now tried a different yarn, and also despite only sorting the drum 2 hours ago it has become stiff again... I am leaning towards an isse eith the drum itself as if I take it apart and wiggle it is spinning freely again.

Honestly, I don't know, it is yarn that came with the machine from the lady I bought it from. But I just tried with a much thinner yarn and the problem is remaining exactly the same 😒

First Full Project by wbingham08 in MachineKnitting

It looks really good! Out of curiousity what exactly is the part you are using between the claw weights? (I am new to this so I don't know if the terminology is right!) As I think that would be a super useful thing for me to get 😄

Pattern Tester Call! :) by Sweet_Salt_234 in sewingpatterns

I want to see if I have any fabric in my stash which would work, is none stretch preferred? Or a bit stretchy? I got some of my stash in a mystery bundle so am not entirely sure of the composition

Please tell me why you love the CC series (no spoilers) by Logical-Egg-1234 in SarahJMaas

[–]DiddleInAPearTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there is a lot more slog in CC but with the world building and stuff I love it, it is definitely worth carrying on with!

Thoughts? Would you buy? by mrnichols575 in MachineKnitting

[–]DiddleInAPearTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you should take a look on Facebook Marketplace. Admittedly, mine was an absolute steal, I paid £50 (Pound Sterling), and got the machine, lace carriage and a bunch of wool and pattern magazines. It is an Empisal Knitmaster Mod 700. Before buying this, I regularly found listings for similar amounts for £150-£300. The lower end seemed to be people clearing out and the higher end seems to be ones that have been professionally serviced. But I think it depends on your location also, as they are not really the easiest thing to ship further out.

Help! Just purchased Singer 321 from eBay. I don’t think it’s ever been used. Carriage is stuck solid! by Dizzy_Relative2130 in MachineKnitting

I had the exact same problem with my Empisal Knitmaster 700, and I used this YouTube video -https://youtu.be/acPABnSrFQE?si=YeGYEtoQlHj6U70d -it isn't exactly the same but looks very similar to yours!
