I came across one of these in a goodwill. This one in particular was inside a sentro box. I figured my daughter might like to have one of these, I am hoping it works and wasn’t in goodwill for a quality issue. I paid only 12.99 for it. It didn’t come with any of the included accessories but I am ok with that.
Hi there Crafty Turtle. I have a couple of suggestions to help with tucked stitches, tricky yarn& dropped stitches😢. 1. Mack’s ear plugs (Amazon) are soft silicon plugs. If you stick 1 on the front about where the black logo is on your machine, (between the tension arm & yarn guide) then allow the yarn to ride over it as it runs through the machine, it removes static which is the major cause of tucked stitches. It also coats the yarn making for easier passage through then machine. 2. Use weights, snack bag clips work well. Weight pulls the knitted fabric down, making dropped stitches less likely. I love your trick of using command hooks and transferring the row counter from one machine to another. Genius! Greetings from the UK.
Hi Tina! Thanks for the tips. I do like the clip method. I use the ones I got from Michaels loops and threads and they work great. Thanks for watching and commenting!
