Hi! can I use the tensioner to make the stitches tighter?
Thank you so much for teaching me how to use my new addi express king size knitting machine with the ultimate tensioner correctly. I love it.
Is the kingsize machine suitable for smaller objects, such as socks ?
I really love this yarn wre can i find it?
It's Michaels Loops & Threads Facets acrylic.
Hi Ijust a electric adapter for my Addi and my Sentro would the tensioner work with both machine thank you so much for this video merry christmas and a happy New Year many blessings
Yes, we have different versions for both the Addi and Sentro style knitting machines. The Ultimate Tensioner™ is designed & made by us and currently is Design & Utility Patent Pending. We only sell it through our Southpaw Fiber Art Etsy shop in the links below. Sentro Version: southpawfiberart.etsy.com/listing/1747899522 Addi Version: southpawfiberart.etsy.com/listing/1694184344 Addi Colorwork Edition: southpawfiberart.etsy.com/listing/1748283924
Looks like a Very Nice trip.
I have the large Addi ... and I have the Geonocci Electric Adapter for the machine. Will this work on my Addi with the Adapter attached. Thank you kindly.
@@dotnell Hi- yes, The Ultimate Tensioner will work with the electric motors. We do recommend caking your yarn first to remove any knots or tangles.
Can you use Red Heart yarn in this machine? I’m hearing that you can’t. Please and thank you.
@@gregorylipscomb5688 Hi, it is true, some machines are picky when it comes to the Red Heart brand yarn. I have not had much issue with it in my Addi. My Sentros are another story.
I use Red Heart all the time on my Addi. I’ve not had any issues with it.
@@SouthpawFiberArts thank you.
@@laurieallen8040 thank you.
Awesome Work. I just got my Addi in the mail today. Thank you for sharing.
Is it easy to switch it between the 40 and 48 or requires one for each machine? Does it fit the 22?
Hi - yes, the tensioner can be easily moved between machines. The Ultimate Tensioner is designed for the 40 & 48 pin machines. We do offer a pin style tensioner for the smaller machines.
How does it work
ua-cam.com/video/t2lgZqshmeU/v-deo.html
Have to put clip to hold on arm feeder door and tension eron
If you do a lot of colorwork, we make a "Colorwork Edition" that will remain in place on the machine even when the yarn feeder door is left open.
Does the tensioner come with the machine or sold separately?
Separate. This person makes these tensioners to add on to our addi's.
Hi, this looks great. I will to know if this is useful to the sentor machine too
@@myrthacorrea7035 We offer the tensioners for both the Addi and Sentro style machines.
Mine just came today. My question is how do you know how tight to tighten the spring? Thanks. 😁
@@marycomer1978 Hi - page 4 of the guide goes over the springs. For 3-4 weight yarn, the gold spring with the adjustment knob tightened to 1/4 way in on the shaft is a good starting point. The adjustment is dependent upon the machine since they all wear in a little differently.
Hi this is great can you use the tensioner with the sentro machine too thank you so much for your video
@@raquelreyes8573 Hi- we have The Ultimate Tensioner available for the 40 and 48 pin Sentro style machines.
HI, I loved your video. It was very interesting and informative but must you have that annoying music? What you do is interesting and entertaining enough without it.
Noted. We're new to using our editing software and I believe we have it all sorted out now for future videos.
Thank you for the video. I just bought this tensioner for my Sentro machine. I would love to see a detailed video for the Sentro machine. I would also love to see more detail given on the different tensions. Sample yarns to use with each of the springs and how much to screw the white piece on also. Is there any way you could turn off the background music in the video? It's loud and overwhelming and not at all needed. Thank you.
@@MelDell-z5b Thank you very much for letting us know! We will add these recommendations to our list of videos to provide. We will work on the music too!
Wow! The positive energy drawn from the ocean into ur garment!😊😊😊
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing ❤
Oh all that bougie yarn! 😮 Beautiful!
There's some beautiful yarn!
Love your work view. I’m going to move my work outside too while the weather is perfect.
Lots of great yarn shops on that crawl. I’ll bet you had a fun time. Beautiful scenery too 💕
❤👍🤝 в данный момент занимаюсь тем же самым😊 заканчиваю вязать свитер. Удивительно, машинка и нитки такие же как и у вас.🧚♂️
💖💖🙏🙏👍👍🙏🙏💖💖Thank you, I hope to one day buy the tensioner for my addi and sentro.
Where did you buy this new tension guide for Addi knitting machine
Southpaw fiber arts on Etsy.
www.SouthpawFiberArts.com will take you directly to our Etsy shop. We are the original creators and hold pending patents for this tensioner.
Oh what a great idea. I'm always holding my yarn to try and keep the tension uniform. Unfortunately, the shipping to Australia is nearly as much as the cost of the tensioner.... and that's on Etsy Australia. It doesn't look that big? Surely $33.61 is over the top for shipping?
@kamilasmith unfortunately the international shipping prices from the USA to Australia are completely out of our control. The packaged weight of our tensioner by itself is just under 8 ounces and we completely agree with you on the costs for international shipping. We’ve found that anything shipped over 8 ounces in total weight almost doubles the international shipping charge to the UK, Canada and Australia.
How does this go with those panel edges?
The Ultimate Tensioner™ will keep constant tension, like having an extra hand, on your fiber even when you stop to switch directions in panel settings. When used properly you will end up with tight professional and consistent looking panels and tubes. You should still watch the panel edges when switching directions and watch for knots or tangles in the fiber if not caking your yarn.
Just got mine yesterday…love it. Glad I was stream UA-cam and saw loops and home Cherri talking about it ❤.
Where did you buy it
@@annphillips3423 From Southpaw Fiber Arts on there Etsy shop
@@annphillips3423 Etsy on Southpaw Fiber Arts shop. I paid $39-40 and I also ordered button attachments for the beanies… so I’m not quite sure about the price. Sorry idk where the invoice is.
@@annphillips3423 southpawfiberart.etsy.com
Works great,love mine 😊😊
Nice beanie. Well done. 👍😊🎂
I love this but much too expensive for this little old Aussie chick. Perhaps I will keep an 👁 on exchange rates. Postage is far too high. 😢
Olá 🙋. Você poderia adicionar o idioma português na lista de tradução do chat? Eu sou do extremo sul do Brasil. Gratidão 🧡
That tensioner is cool! I'm going to have to look into one. I've had an addi for years but am just now getting into how to use it to it's fullest potential. Although if I can't master the panel setting it's about to go out the window 😂
You can do panels in circle mode
Wow thanks desde Barcelona España
I love my tensioner!!!
Quando a taxa de importação para o Brasil, se tornar viável ou tiver aqui, vou querer...tenho de 40 agulhas ..quero muito a de 48...
Does it come with both springs?
Yes and it also comes with detailed photo instructions, a spring selection guide, and cleaning instructions.
can this tension gage work with a 3 wgt yarn on the Sentro
Yes, and it makes it easy to keep the same even tension throughout the project without the need to constantly hold the yarn. Countless different ways to run the yarn through or wrap around the pins to increase or decrease tension going into the machine.
This is such a neat idea. Where can I purchase the tool for this?
southpawfiberart.etsy.com/
good video. I speak Spanish but I use Google Translator to understand. My question is: what is the tensioner for?
It allows you to use the Addi Knitting Machine without the need for holding or guiding the yarn going into the machine and keeps a very consistent tension throughout your project so all of your stiches are perfectly uniform. You won’t end up with random loose or over tight areas showing up in the middle of a big project.
Do you have the link to where this can be purchased?

En dónde compraste el tensor para la máquina

I'm in the UK, where could I buy these pins. Thanks
UK shipping is now available in our Etsy shop.
Can I get one in the UK ?
UK shipping is now available in our Etsy shop.
This looks like well-made quality with lots of thought!
Can you make something similar for Addi? I have both Sentrp and Addi.
