Is it possible to use a double bed colour changer on a single bed machine?
If so, how please? Sue W. -- Derby, England. Don't try to email me using "REPLY" as the email address is NoSpam. Our email address is "thewoodies2 at ntlworld dot com" |

You just leave the ribber bed in the up position, and knit with the ribber carriage (set the ribber carriage to slip both ways). Use the end presser plates to make sure your knitting comes off properly. Regards, Jane |

Thanks for that.
So I would not be able to use a tuck stitch pattern?! Sue W. -- "steelbreeze" wrote in message oups.com...

"Rowan" wrote in message ... What machine are you using? Sue writes Brother standard gauge. Have just worked out that I can set main carriage to tuck even though ribber carriage is set to slip.....is that correct? I seem to be confusing myself with this! Sue W. |

Ah ok, Im not very up on Brother but I found this on a forum, hope it helps:
Hi , the KR-830 is a double bed colour changer.But you can use it for knitting on the main bed only. Stocking stitch , Slipstitch and Tuck stitch but not fairisle You need to set up machine with the ribber in place. Attach the ribber coupling arm or connector. Connect the colour changer and masts as indicated in the manual. To use for stocking stitch knitting 1.Knit in rib with waste yarn( you need to have the ribber combs and weights in play) 2. lower the front ribber bed to the lowest postion, BUT keep the ribber arm still connected 3. Transfer the stitches to the main bed. 4.Knit in waste yarn (For closed edge use nylon cord and then crochet cast on) 5. Start knitting in your main yarn and changing colours as per stripe sequence. 6.Note you can only have stripes in multiples of two as yarn is changed on the left side. assumably for stocking stitch, read tuck stitch if thats what youre using : ) Good Luck |
