| On a side note... |
| I tried to use the machine tonight and had a hard time. I set it up with no problems, and the carriage moves fine when the needles are back in A position. The instructions say to make a sample swatch by moving X number of needles to D, pass the carriage with the levers set to the triangle and II, and then move every 2nd needle back to A. Well, for some reason, 9 times out of 10 when I'd try to pass the carriage it would pass perfectly over the first half of the sts, then jam. There wasn't even yarn in the carriage yet! I don't know what was wrong. I eventually forced it and it went, so I threaded the carriage and tried to make a swatch. It REALLY didn't work, but I was trying with Homespun which is pretty bulky and also kinda twisted and kinked so I'm hoping it was just the yarn and not the machine. *fingers crossed* This was an ebay purchase so I'm REALLY hoping it's not defective! |
