Welcome and Good job fixing this problem!!

For switching between normal (N) knitting and multi-color (MC).

You are very welcome!

Are you saying that the machine knits one row and then stops?There are several potential issues related to that. Yarn might be too thick. Tension of the yarn might be too tight. Does the carriage move freely to both sides without yarn? I have a consultation package in my shop just in case u need a more personalized help. Hope it helps and good luck!

I know, right? Still working on it:(( sorry!

So, I dont have it anymore - sold it. But the length kinda depends on the model. To get the correct length, I wrapped the measuring tape from wrist to wrist over the neck. Hope it makes sense.

Thank you!:)

It needs to be attached to the table to knit. When not knitting, you can hold it: it is pretty light. Hope it helps.

Not that I know of. They started making stand-alone interstate carriages later, for some bulky and standard punch cards machines.

:) lol. Sure. Buy a lesson in my shop? Lmk if u need a link.

The manual describes pretty well how to do the vneck. It is available for free online. hope it helps.

It is not a button but a lever on the side of the carriage. Hope it helps.

sock yarn thickness. Or cone yarn for knitting machines. Sport yarn might be ok too but better on every other needle. Hope it helps!

Thanks!:)

So this machine was probably stored by its previous owner really wel: away from sun light. There is a method to whiten the yellowed (due to uv damage) plastic on these knitting machines but I do not use that method as I feel it makes the plastic parts more britle (and I was a chemist in my pre-knottinga Hines life). Hope it helps.

did you read the manual? or did you watch my video? If you are still having troubles, do you want to buy 1 h of my training services? www.etsy.com/listing/1260078796/worldwide-machine-knitting-lessons-for

HaHa! :)) I know what you mean!! I am glad you liked my video!! Thank you!

This particular machine is sold out. Check my store for other machines or request a machine you want. Hope it helps!

Thanks.

Hard to say from just words. Maybe yarn too thick? Do drums move freely? Did you oli? I offer 1h consultations. You can purchase in my Etsy shop. Regardless, Good luck and let me know how it goes.

I am not familiar with that model. Need to compare the manual closely. Carriage looks similar to kr830.

I checked the manual and looked at some pictures and it seems that these screws will fit KR830 and KR838. Hope it helps.

@@MightyKnittyMachines Thank you so much!!

Sure!

Welcome.

Wonderful, I am glad I could help!! :)

Glad you like it, Deb!! Almost yours :)

This machine definitely has a so-called "needle presser" bar. Check out my blog article (link in the description). It has a snippet from the instructions showing how to get it out. Hope it helps!

@@MightyKnittyMachinesThank you so much! ❤

Of course! That's what my blog and my videos are all about! Help other machine knitters.

Thank you! :)

So glad it hellped!!! Thank you for writing to me about it!

Hello! The blog article (the link is in the description) lists all resources I used including links to manual. Please, look in my blog. I prefer not to post links in responses.

During my tests, the carriage moved well. If you experience your carriage is hard to move, it might be due to 1) dirt in the carriage, 2) insufficient lube on the needlebed/carriage/needle-buds, 3) static (use wax), 4) high tension of the yarn. I summarized these and some other reasons in my blog: thoughtsandknits.com/2023/12/30/possible-reasons-of-problems-with-brother-knitting-machine-carriages/ Hope it helps!

Video of a test run of a refurbished machine, correct.

It's a good model for a ribber. Good luck selling it. Make sure a) the parts are there.

Thank you! Will do! ...especially if lovely messages like these keep coming:)

Didnt know about KM3000. thank YOU! however, kh891 has garter carriage rails and none of kg881 i ve see so far do. so, yes, very similar bt not identical.

@@MightyKnittyMachines yes, it's true, but don't always find the Brother km 3000 together with the garter carriage, which in Italy is called Modamatic 3000. Thank you very much and sorry for my bad English. 😄

oh, i didnt even notice that you are not English speaker!! :))

@@MightyKnittyMachines thanks 😄

welcome and my pleasure!

KH551 has a metal retaining bar that accomodates a sponge strip. the spongy strip needs to be replaced once in a while. i get my supplies on amazon. hope it helps.

@@MightyKnittyMachines yes, it does, thank you very much

sure! :)

i did both: print myself and outsourced printing. i am pretty happy with the quality, so were the customers who purchased this part from me. just choose the strong material when you print. thank you for your nice comment.

do u mean how to cast on or to thread the yarn through the cariage and the tension mast? do you have the manual?

thanks! i hate my speaking voice :(

@@MightyKnittyMachinesAhh I see, that’s fair enough, though you don’t have to listen to it back, lol.

:) thats true! lol

with the help of ribber, yes! but some seaming is still needed for some patterns.

@@MightyKnittyMachines so just to clarify, if I buy a KH840 without a ribber, I can later get a ribber and attach it?

Yes you can!

nice setup you have! What exactly is not "working well"? does the carriage move freely on just needlebed?did u replace the sponge bar?

Glad it was helpful!

Congrats, this is a great machine! I created a large custom pattern and used DAK8 to transfer it to KH930. It took 3 times to load the whole pattern. I loaded the first section, knitted it, loaded the second (after erasing the first) and knitted it and then the third. I am not familiar (yet) with image2track but I am sure it is roughly the same approach. Look for my earlier videos on KH930 - one shows that complex pattern (a cat) that I knitted on my first KH930. Good luck!

@@MightyKnittyMachines oh sweet u helped me a lot I’m rly getting used to this machine with ur video thank u have a lovely day, 🩵

you are so welcome!!

Congrats!! Also, join the addicting club of machine knitting :)

Thank you for you compliment! The yarn I used for this project was 200 m (218 yards) per 100g (3.5 oz). USA type: Worsted Aran - 4. Hope it helps!

depends on the country you are in. check my store : www.ThoughtsAndKnits.com/store

:) Thank you!

nice! i will be posting soon simple projects for KX350 which will suite your machine as well.

on this machine, yes, but with manual manipulation of stitches and needles

in 1971! I know they are amazing! Read my article to learn more: mightyknittymachines.com/brother-kh800-knitting-machine/

Read my articles on this machine: They have references where you can find a manual. Might even be in your language. thoughtsandknits.com/2024/04/09/brother-kh800-knitting-machine-serviced-and-tested-in-march-2024/ mightyknittymachines.com/brother-kh800-knitting-machine/

Depends on where you are and in what condition the machines are. if fully serviced - then more.

Where you're stay

not sure what you mean.
