Hi.Is there anybody out there that knows anything about Machine Knitting.
I am new to this knitting lark and need to find someone locally who can shed a little light on the subject.

I think Medusa is your girl on this one:D

Thanx. I`m new to this forum lark. how do I contact Medusa.

Once you have five posts to your name, you can use the Private Message (PM) system to contact her. As you've only got two posts so far, and as Medusa is the only forumer I know of who knows about machine knitting, I'll send a PM for you.

Welcome to the knitting group! :wave:

Yoohoo Fireguard! Hecate fetched me- what would you like to know?

I used to sell a range of knitting machines that use the same yarn at the same tension as handknitting, and also used the more traditional large bed machines with punch cards occasionally.

Feel free to ask any questions you have on the thread (or PM when you've got to a post count of 10).

Thanx for your help so far,Medusa can you help with this.
I started a course in machine Knitting hoping to learn how to knit. The problem I have at the moment is how to knit "Machine Finished Button Holes on a Horizontal band" I must be a bit thick because I can`t understand the instructions. Please can you help!!:confused:

Hi fireguard37,
Where did you start the course? I'm very interested to do such a course myself as well.
Thanks.

I've edited your link as it didn't work when I cut and pasted it into the address bar of my browser - Hecate.

Thanks, fireguard37! I will ask them what course is suitable for a Brother KH-910.
Except from the 'button hole struggle', can you recommend this distance course? I mean, is the text easy to follow for a beginner?
I hope you soon manage to make the button holes, sounds quite difficult.
What knitting machine are you using?

Hi Bami.
My machine is a brother kh 881.
The course started off easy,but now I`ve got to button holes I find it hard to understand the instructions. I E-mailed the course provider for help, but I still did not understand her reply.
If you have done some machine knitting before you may get on better than me. Thats why I`m asking for help.:help:
