    If you put the machine in the corner and use the 2 clamps in the front and on the side it works great. 3 weight yarn works the best. Thanks for the tutorial. Love watching you.

    Glad you are enjoying your Addi machine. I got mine for Christmas and although crochet will always be my go to, I do like how fast I can make something on this machine. A couple tips for you: if you attach your machine to the corner of the table, ie one hook on the front left leg and one hook on the back right, you will have less movement when cranking. Also, marking the first red peg with a sharpie at the first black needle helps when you are cranking to see when the beginning is coming around if you need precise row counts. If you are short on space or need something more permanent in the way of mounting your machine, Walmart sells 12 X 12 wood canvas boards that fit under the machine perfectly. You will need to get four metal hooks from the hardware store and the machine can be mounted to the board and just put away when not in use. This saves a lot of time setting up the machine and putting it away each use. Hope these tips help, and thanks for the great videos you make.

    I have a tip for connecting the machine to the table for a sturdier fit. I put mine on the eagle of table and put one on the front leg to table and one on the back leg on the side of the table makes it fit to table tighter. I have had my addi for a bit now I haven’t used it much I’ve made a few hats but just can’t seem to find time to make other things. Enjoyed the video Cody you done a great job with the demonstration. Have a wonderful day both of you.
