This is Part 1 of 2 of a tutorial on how to use the Bond Embellish Knit or Magicord knitting machine. It shows you how to make great looking i-cord which is useful for many types of projects.
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 ;-)
