very good can i create garter stitch with a ribber

[thewoolendiva]

@ceriana11 Hi there, There was never a ribber made for the MK70. Garter stitch could be created by either using a 6mm garter bar or by knitting a row, removing it on waste yarn, turning and rehanging it, then knitting the next row, and repeating that over and over. A garter bar would be a whole lot faster!

thank you so much for the video could you please tell me what I should clean the plastic parts with as I think oiling it may have clogged it up. would be greatful for your advise regards Anne

Hi Anne! I use Ballistol gun oil on all my machines and really like it. It's a very good, clean product and has never given me any trouble.

Happy knitting, TWD

hello, your machine is very nice, I have a singer 810, is very old, what is the difference with your machine ... I am a beginner

[thewoolendiva]

Hi,

I've never seen a Singer 810 and could not find much about it on the internet. Are you able to email me a pic of your machine? I'd love to see it, and could perhaps tell you more about the differences once I see it. TWD :)

How thin thread can this machine knit? Would a normal sewing thread work?

[knitme01]

I have a MK-70 and need to get the manual where may i a copy.

I am new to knitting and knitting machines need any and all help for beginners.

Hi, I just bought one of these. When I got the bed ends in place I found that one won't pull out so I can fold it back up. Any idea why it would be stuck? Also just curious what these might be worth. I just paid $65 and hope I didn't overpay!

I have seen KR6 radars very occasionally for sale but where would I get the bracket and row tripper from? Thanks - Terri

This is a fascinating machine. I've tried to get one on eBay with no luck. I'll keep hunting. Loved the demo! Thanks.

This could be a silly question, but I will ask it anyway. Can the blank punchcards from the 12 or 24 stitch cards be modified to use on the MK70. The 18 stitch punchcards are scarce, well I haven't found any, so maybe I am not looking in the right places. Thanks for any help. Love your demos. Look forward to more.

Best wishes from Thailand! Where can I buy this machine? In eBay? & how much? Thank you for your answers.
