| Kathleen P Hi I love hand knitting? But have a knitting machine and ribber given too me do not know how to use it I really would like to use is it hard too learn and would it be worth me paying the fee to learn |
| Nancy M mary Ann just thought take a clean cloth with a little machine lub and give the needle bed a quick wipe every once in awhile might help with static |
| Sue J J See you next time! Happy Knitting! |

| Phyl in Raleigh, NC USA Thank you Sue, very informative as usual. |
| Nancy M now we need to practice the 3 P's of knitting... Practice Practice Practice |
| Nancy M boatnecks are back in style for summerr with a 2x2 or 3x3 rib staight across the shoulder/neck lines |
| Joy G what thickness yarn did you use for each? |
| Phyl in Raleigh, NC USA Love it! |
| Patricia J S Punch Tuck Rib makes beautiful Baby Blankets!! You don't even have to add an edging, if you don't want to. Lies flat. |
| Anne A Isn't long stitch used at side edges of fabric with stockinet in the middle? |
| Nancy M neckties using full needle rib are quick onece ou leran the co and bo. |
| Nancy M shadow lace transfer tools |
| Kerri P Love your shirt... I just bought one... |
| Eleanor L Full needle rib makes a nice tie belt for a dress. Full needle rib makes good front bands for sweaters. |
| Nancy M Make sure your clamps are tight on both the main bed AND the ribber as any jiggling of ribber could cause it to slip a needle or half needle off alignment |
| Scott V do you have a video for dbj on the site |
| Mary J half pitch=happy pitch. Pitch, think P which could look like a needle if you laid on side and two together will 'butt heads' |
| Marjorie M Not number to slip from H into P. From being able to knit with every needle into total clash. |
| Kerri P Maybe that is a way to use a slightly heavier yarn? |
| Kerri P Can you FNR every other needle on both beds? |
| Mary Ann B Marjorie, I have that happen when the yarn I'm using is too thick for the project. I have to push the carriage hard and that forces the ribber bed to move. |
| Morag W It's ok now thank you |
| Patricia J S Are you planning to address the weight of yarn required to knit FNR? |
| Marjorie M Knitting.. Any suggestions for preventing the slip? |
| Marjorie M I have rubbers that have the same selector piano top H on the bottom. Occasionally I have had it slip from H into P setting while nu |
