Help Needed
I have seen people leave the ribber on by using a tilt stand and ribber
covers. I've also seen people use the ribber covers and not bother to tilt the stand to the level position. If you do experiment with that, remember to go gently and check after each pass of the lace carriage to see if there are any dropped stitches or incomplete transfers. I can't claim a lot of experience on this as I'm definitely not a lace person. If your machine is on a stand that came used you may already have a tilt stand.

Hi,
I have a Brother 940 with ribber, and I've successfully done both fine and holey lace with it with the ribber in place (but dropped down obviously). I found that passing the lace carriage across steadily and not too fast gives the most reliable result. Helen is right about checking for dropped stitches etc. HTH, Sue "Helen "Halla" Fleischer" wrote in message ... I have seen people leave the ribber on by using a tilt stand and ribber covers.
