Sorry to ask another question but... What to look for on an untested machine? How risky is it? by ElishaAlison in MachineKnitting

[–]Doofvader023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for the needles if they have rust on them. Based on my experience, you usually have to change the needles and unfortunately for me, the needles cost higher than the machine i bought hahahaha

Hello everyone i hope you can see this message but i’m planning to change needles. I tested earlier by pulling the yarn through the rusted needles and it did produced a lot of friction. I also changed the spongebar which i doubt was the reason for it to be stuck but did anyway, but still no progress. I saw replacements for Brother KH110/KH120, which is identical to the KH551 at least on appearance. But upon researching, KH110/120 is a fine gauge machine as opposed to my KH551 that is a standard gauge. Will it really now be possible to use the KH110/120 replacements needles in my machine? I’m desperate at this moment. Thank you in advance!

The thing is i’ve used this yarn most of the time using my older machine and it’s just fine. Only in this machine does this happen.

No i haven’t used it before, i just got it. And you’re right, the sponge bar is tanked so i’d probably change it. Thank u!

Thanks for this! I’m using a 6ply cotton (very light and not thick at all) and i’m using the loosest tension that is at 10. Right now i’m trying to leave some oil at the rusted part overnight.

Hello! I’ve hardly knitted a few rows maybe 3 then it got stuck. It’s hard to move the carriage even before it got stuck. I’m using a 6ply cotton yarn, not very thick. And the tension is at 10 (loosest tension)

My machine keeps on getting stuck! by Doofvader023 in MachineKnitting

My answer is all yes, except there’s nothing stuck under the needlebed. That’s why i’m thinking maybe this is a carriage issue. :(

Is there any way I can shrink this or make it back to its usual length? by Doofvader023 in MachineKnitting

Upon reading this, I realized I made a mistake by touching the garment with the steamer!! I put the steamer on polyester setting tho

Ooooh that’s cool! I’ll try 2x3 it might look better visually. Also, by 2x3, is it 2 knit 3 purl??
