Thank you so much for this BRILLIANT confidence building walk through of how to design and work a self designed garment using the knitleader. I haven’t used my machine since 1919 (😱) so I couldn’t remember - I’ve become a total novice and this has saved me many errors and given me many tips. Thank you again.
Hello June, thank you so much for this great tutorial. Could I ask you which magazine you were using for the pattern. I just got a knit leader and would like to make a jumper for my child. This looks like a good pattern to start with. Thanks again!
Thank you for showing how to input and draw a pattern in the Knitleader from schematics. Much simpler (read, less intimidating!) than using sewing patterns for my first time effort!
Hi June, Very nice videos, wonder if you could help me, I am retired and just bought a Brother KH 801, I have a knit leader with machan, I am new to machine knitting and trying to learn basics, I followed you up the the neck line, but I got a bit lost around the neck line, regarding the needle positions, thankyou
Thank you for an aIbsolutely brilliant tutorial. I have a knitleader but was too scared to begin to think how to use it. I wasn't even convinced it was meant to go with an electronic machine. I will definitely give this a go now. Quick question - could you use this to copy an existing jumper (my son has one he loves and wants me to try and knit him one very similar) - so could I measure his jumper and draw it onto the knitleader mylar sheet in the same way as you've shown?
Thank you so much for this video you explained it so clearly as I am new to machine Knitting. What kind of marker did you used to draw the pattern? Also you didn't start with the ribbing why?
Washable felt tip pens and use a baby wipe to clean the sheet. I don’t put the rib on as you would still use the same number of sts and I know roughly how many rows I need. If you don’t know, from other patterns, then you would need to do another swatch in rib to work out how many rows you want for the depth of rib. Then set the row calculator to that measurement
Hello June, I bought a brother 965i machine, with lots of extras a year ago, I have just fitted on the brother knit leader, but cannot find the rulars for it, I have another knit leader thing, not sure if it is a knit leader or another make I bought it with a standard quage Toyota it’s in the loft, could I use the rulars from my Toyota machine, if no, do you know if I could just by the brother knitleader rulars. Great video thank you.Sally.
Dear June, thanks for a clear tutorial. I also rather liked the note book/paper you use for keeping a record of your work. Could you tell me where you get hold of that particular note paper, or if it’s no longer available would be willing to share pdf of the page? Thanks Tom
@@JuneClark Hi June - I have looked on eBay for a tension notebook but couldn't find anything - could you share the ebay link or perhaps give the title of the item that I should look for?
Hi June, I'm curious about your three ring binder. What kind of information are you recording on the worksheet and how is it organized? Do you have a file you could email? I'm new at machine knitting so I'm still working out what all info I should be writing down. I would love ideas from experienced machine knitters!
I note down the yarn and colour, the machine I am knitting on, the carriage and mast tension numbers and the sts/rows to 10 cm and the sts/rows using a cm ruler for the knitleader. I make notes in the right hand column such as the garment I am knitting. It means if I only get half a garment done, I can go back a week later and pick up where is stopped
Ts ok June I’ve worked it out lol ,well I am a complete beginner so we all start somewhere lol me maybe a bit slower than other as I’ve had 3 strokes 😔
@@CousinJennie Hi Jennie, that's great discovery! I have a Jones KH588 8-button machine which I love, but it doesn't have slots at the back for the knitleader to attach into, like my Brother KH910 does...how did you attach the KL to your 8-button machine please? TYVM 😊

Unfortunately, I can’t remember, but it was either Machine Knitting News or Machine Knitting Monthly. These magazines all have diagrams in them

Thank you for your quick reply, I will go on eBay to have a look. Sally.
Very helpful tutorial for a newbie machine knitter like myself.Thank You June
This was brilliant, thank you so much.
Thank you, glad it helped
Thank you for your video, I will try my knit leader now, such a great help.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for video on the knit leader and explaining it in detail very helpful
Thank you brilliant video will now collect all the bits and pieces see what I have read the manual which will make sense now and start knitting
Glad it helped
Thank you so very much for this video, I am a very visual learner and this was spot on for me.
Hi June,
Very nice videos, wonder if you could help me, I am retired and just bought a Brother KH 801,
I have a knit leader with machan, I am new to machine knitting and trying to learn basics, I followed you up the the neck line, but I got a bit lost around the neck line, regarding the needle positions, thankyou
Thank you for such a clear easy to follow video. What brand of erasable marker pen did you use to mark the Knit Leader sheet?
Children's washable felt tip pens
excellent video thank you June
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent thank you. x
Thank you

Yes, of course. Just take the measurements or trace around
Thank you so much for this.
You are so welcome!

Unlikely that the Toyota ones would work. You can sometimes pick standard gauge stitch scales on EBay

It is a tension notebook. I buy them up on EBay etc. Unfortunately, I can’t share as they are still in copyright
@@JuneClark Hi June - I have looked on eBay for a tension notebook but couldn't find anything - could you share the ebay link or perhaps give the title of the item that I should look for?
@@hesjane they are not made anymore, so I just buy when I see. Any notebook will do and just record yarn and tension details in it
why is this video not on your uploads?
Why did you set the lower scale to 5 mm? How do I know what number to put it on? thank you
That corresponds to the measurement of 60 rows, if for standard gauge or 30 rows for a chunky. It is the measurement in cm
it's a good video, thanks.

Weldon madam, pls ma how can l get this copy to guide my work? Thank u
A that was a lot of help 👍 thank you 😊
You're welcome!
Hi June do you use tracing paper or the pattern sheet for the knit leader as I’ve never followed one before thank you
The plastic sheet that comes with the knitleader. You can use different colour felt tips for different patterns
Can you tell me if there is something that holds the paper in the knitleader please
Not sure what you mean? The video shows me feeding it in. It is a plastic sheet not paper
Ts ok June I’ve worked it out lol ,well I am a complete beginner so we all start somewhere lol me maybe a bit slower than other as I’ve had 3 strokes 😔
Not a problem, that is why the video is there to help
Thank you for such a helpful video.
Where can you buy extra sheets of the mylar paper?
Ebay or try where you buy knitting machine supplies
Can one use this knitleader on the brother chunky?
Yes, as long as you have the chunky stitch scales that came with main bed. See your machine manual
Audio is too low to hear clearly...
June, can you tell me if I can use the KR113 with a KH680L 8 Button machine?
I am sorry, I have no experience with either
June Clark Thank you for replying. I think it will!! 😄
June, I have discovered it works with all 8 Button machines.
That’s good to know
