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. Worth a check!

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
