The Ultimate Machine Knitting Troubleshooting Guide: Years of Tips in One Video!

Is your knitting machine acting up, or are you just looking to level up your skills? After years of machine knitting, I’ve gathered a "toolbox" of tips and tricks that make the difference between a frustrating afternoon and a perfect project. In this video, we are going deep into the mechanics and the technique of machine knitting. We cover the "must-do" maintenance like replacing your sponge bar and fixing bent needles, then move into the "science" of tension—including the difference between mast tension and carriage tension. Whether you’re struggling with dropped stitches on the edges or trying to figure out why your gauge looks off, I’ve got you covered. #MachineKnitting #KnittingTips #CityFarmhouseStudio #KnittingMachineRepair #FiberArts For products for machine knitting click here: https://amzn.to/47UFN6r ------------------------------------------- ⏰ Timecodes ⏰ 0:25 - Do you need a new sponge bar 1:12 - Bent needles and latches 2:22 - Clean and oil carriage and bed (https://youtu.be/-6oSmbhfOpc?si=D54Sd9aFBkPw0X6F to see The Answer Lady Knits and Ask Jack) 3:58 - Are your machine and carriage set up properly 5:55 - Issues with yarn 8:09 - Is your tension correct 9:54 - Ways to control static 11:05 - Why e-wraps won't or are hard to knit off 11:30 - Weights 13:14 - How weights change gauge 14:04 - Side edge stitch keeps on dropping 14:46 - I keep getting a big loop at the edge of my row 16:00 - The row counter isn't counting my rows 16:51 - Electronic and punch card patterning issues 18:41 - How to remove a jammed carriage in the middle of the row ------------------------------------------- ⚡Check out our BEST SELLING machine knitting pattern: https://cityfarmhousestudio.com/machine-knit-dream-of-a-cardigan-pattern/ ------------------------------------------- Connect with us! https://www.facebook.com/cityfarmhousestudio https://instagram.com/cityfarmhousestudio https://www.tiktok.com/@cityfarmhousestudio --------------------------------- Cathy with City Farmhouse Studio Knitting, Crochet, Machine Knitting Patterns and Tutorials Note: This video is NOT sponsored.
