Brother Linker
 

Does anyone know the secrets to getting the Brother Linker to work
correctly? It advances one stitch at a time as it should. The linker
needle goes in and out and the little arm moves up and down at the beginning
of the cycle. However, something must be out of adjustment. The needle
goes into the stitch most of the time but the stitch never gets behind the
gate. The needle is running through the brush. Should it do that? What is
the function of the brush?

Help, please

Hi Tom

You may have this problem sorted by now, but I recently acquired the
Brother KA-8310 and had problems with it initially.

I solved it in two ways. First I renewed the retaining bar, and secondly,
gently pulling downwards on the knitting as you link enables the knitting
to come off the needle.

In my manual it also says to knit the final row of your knitting at a
higher tension than usual IE

Medium Yarn - 10
Fine - Very Fine 9-10

Hope this helps.
