Brother 930 lace tips?
Hi,
Does anyone have any tips for doing lace on the Brother 930? I've cleaned and oiled my machine, have a new sponge bar, cleaned my carriages, and tried both the EON cast on and an E wrap. I've checked for bent needles, hung claw weights, checked tension mast for snags/yarn feeding smoothly, and I'm still getting dropped stitches when knitting my test pieces. I'm using fingering wool at T 10 for test pieces, since I have plenty of it to spare and I want a filmy lace. Is it just I'm using too loose a tension, or is it the wrong weight/fiber, or could something else be behind all the dropped stitches? I don't think I'm moving the carriages too fast, and I'm moving my claw weights up every 6 rows. I also have the wax up in the yarn feeder, as recommended. TIA for any tips you can give me on wrestling The Beast into submission for lace! Leah |
