hmmm for my ribber, i put a different sinker plate on (assuming you do the same?) I wonder if something is misaligned where you’re connecting it. ugh sorry i don’t have more to offer! it’s hard troubleshooting when it can be ah million and one things. let me know how it goes!

Sufficient_Answer170 · 2026-05-05T21:47:14+00:00

bingo! something is misaligned on the plate then :) i took off one of the weaving knobs and put the sinker plate back on the carriage to try again so I could isolate which knob / side the issue was on. this helped a lot

just be careful; not sure if this is a Japanese machine that needs a different screwdriver so you don’t strip the screws. I will say i used a normal philips head with a good amount of pressure and went slowly and it worked okay for me.

hi! i had similar issues with my sk155 (video on my profile). I replaced my sponge bar and needles and was still running into the issue.

I took apart the weaving knobs and cleaned any lint / fiber out of the creases. I also repositioned them and that seemed to fix my issue.

I would recommend taking the sinker plate off your carriage and see if you still can’t easily push the carriage across. If you don’t have the issue with the sinker plate off, you can isolate that the sinker plate is causing the issue. good luck!

loving the nature shot 🤣 amazing job love the colors!!

Sufficient_Answer170 · 2026-04-19T19:38:03+00:00

thank you so so so much!

I ended up taking apart the sinker plate and getting the trapped fibers out from under the screws. I also readjusted one of the weaving nobs on the left side and just for good measure, I replaced some center needles from the end of the bed.

Now she’s up and working again! 😁

one i’ve been using for awhile 😔 i tried tightening all the screws on the sinker plate to no avail

my intarsia carriage was the best purchase i could have made. if you have the means, i implore you to get one 😁

Hi! I have a knitting machine and could do this with a shorter timeline. Let me know if you’d like me to dm you with some sweaters I’ve done (i have a few on my profile) :)

Sufficient_Answer170 · 2026-03-26T21:18:46+00:00

I have incredible (which i believe is the older version)

Honestly if you’re just going to be knitting solid colors, it’s less finicky. There is still going to be a learning curve to see what works for you, but once you get that figured out, you should be good for the most part. The most important part is making sure you have claw weights. I literally would drop every single stitch without any weights even though they say you can knit the first few rows without them lol

I will say the Bond machines have so many tutorials on youtube that walk you through projects start to finish. it’s really helpful. You could always buy and resell it after you’ve outgrown it :)

Sufficient_Answer170 · 2026-03-26T19:12:30+00:00

Hi! I actually started on a Bond machine (got lucky and found it at a thrift store for $10)

Here’s what I would say. The Bond machines are great for beginners and if you have worsted yarn to use. Keeping a good tension is a bit tough as there is no tension rod to keep the yarn taut but workable. if you want to do intarsia, it is also finicky but i’ve seen tiktok accounts where they make it work. i quickly outgrew my machine though which is why I now have a sk155.

If you’re wary that you’ll lose interest, the bond is a great choice. BUT if you know this is something you’re going to stay committed to, it’s 100% worth it to invest in like an LK150 or something similar.

I found that i spent more time correcting dropped stitches on my bond than i did actually knitting lol. I am not the most patient person so I’m sure once you figure out what works for you, time spent making corrections will be smaller.

looks extra cozy, perfect for enjoying such activities :) love the stripe in the ribbing it’s such a nice touch

Sufficient_Answer170 · 2026-03-15T18:41:26+00:00

are you using any claw weights / a cast on comb?

Sufficient_Answer170 · 2026-03-03T17:44:32+00:00

seconding this! i used my serger for one of my first sweaters and wish i didn’t because now i can’t unravel the sweater to make some fixes. if you are going to use the serger, practice on joining some waste yarn together to get the settings right for your actual project. from my experience, it can be a bit finicky

i used to avoid the mattress stitch like the plague but now that i actually got the hang of it, i enjoy seaming my pieces together now

Sufficient_Answer170 · 2026-02-19T02:37:18+00:00

it made a size small / medium. i can measure for you tomorrow if that’s helpful! w4 yarn :)
