For that reason the yarn doesn't slide down and clear the hook, and that is a pretty consistent issue. If I take the time to push the yarn down, then I'm really defeating the purpose of using this machine because it's really not allowing me to make this faster. Any suggestions? I heard you say that you were able to get the worsted weight of yarn to work. That type of yarn is a little fatter and separates more than the yarn provided and also the cotton yard I am wanting to use. Thank you much!
Thanx for the lovely video. I got my machine today, and was able to get it to work very easily with the yarn provided; however, eventually it skips stitches. The problem seems to be that the yarn from the previous round doesn't always go down far enough to clear the latch. That becomes even more of a problem when I tried it with the Sugar'nCream cotton yarn, which is what I want to use and why I bought this machine, It is just as thin or thinner than the yarn provided, but isn't as smooth/slick.
COmment pt 1: Thanks, interesting video. I actually had no problem starting up my i cord machine, didnt even bother with skipping hook 2 and 4, and eventually the i cord comes out, but i think i probably waste a bit of yarn in the beginning. The instruction of skipping the hooks was very good. Thanks for posting this! BTW, see my other comments on video part 2 ;-) SPOOL KNITTING RULES ;-)
Thanks for posting this - very helpful. Do you know if there is a way to do the i-cord with 3 stitches instead of the 4? I make a lot of baby booties and was hoping to have a more narrow cord. Thanks!
You could try using really thin yarn or crochet cotton (like Cebelia #10) which comes in a ball and is very thin. Or fingering weight yarn or sock yarn. I have never tried using 3 strands on the Embellish Knit but you could just try it. I'm not certain it would work since you have to alternate how the yarn engages with the hooks and 3 strands would put 2 of the strands next to each other with the same orientation.
Thank you for the excellent video! It is very clear about the machine what is come with it. The instruction step by step and end with how to bind off (ending off). I purchase one. I couldn't wait to start. Thank you.
thank you so much! this is so helpful!
