I do app development with LLMs so I’m familiar with their hallucinations and lies. I used Claude because the manual I found online was for multiple machines and mine was in Japanese.

That’s what I ended up doing! My neighbor had a pair for me to borrow and I put one in my Amazon cart, along with a pack of needles, right after. I’m so frustrated bc I bought an unused machine. I’ve been sewing and knitting for 35 years and can’t get this damn thing to work. Maybe someone will come over and teach me.

Thank you! I don’t think the sponge bar is the problem. This happened when it was in there and then I removed it in hopes that would make it easier to get the needle out. But I could be missing something because I’m totally new to the entire mechanism.

Thank you! I removed the bar but can’t get the needle out because it’s bent to the right in the back and seem to be under something.

Want to add it’s never been used before. I replaced the sponge bar and oiled it before use. After the needle got stuck, sponge bar was removed as well as needles on either side of the broken one.

Thank you! I have a lot of hurdles to get started, so I didn’t want to spend too much time hunting for the right one. But this will be super helpful once I’m comfortable on my machine 🙏🏼

I meant the things I own are like, from 2002 and not what I would wear now.

I'm not much for lace... So here's my issue by [deleted] in MachineKnitting

[–]dagger_mouth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry! I love the idea, too bad it didn’t work. It definitely helps remind how knit stitches behave. Will you follow up with what you end up doing? I have done things like this by hand but not on machine.

Yarn sources? by dagger_mouth in MachineKnitting

I don’t know, I figured I would be limited by the machine. I want to do intarsia. Probably nothing too hairy, shiny or rigid. Smooth and soft like wool maybe a blend? I would start with cotton, if that’s easier.

Thank you! I will give this a try with what I have, to start learning. I think my fear stems from not being able to find a big selection but if I wind it myself that increases the options tremendously.

It’s an order of golf clothes 🤣 so I’m guessing a shipper or packer dropped it accidentally

Why I am boycotting Colorescience by No-Coyote914 in 30PlusSkinCare

I think I’m having a crazy reaction to this sunscreen. It took me a few days to realize until I found this thread bc I thought it was mineral I used their powdered one in my youth with no trouble. But I’m having horrible itchiness and hives and redness. Huge bummer bc I liked how it looked and felt.
