Archive of Thread: SK/SR 155 fisherman's rib Back

Hi.

I have been having a frustrating time trying to knit fisherman’s rib on my SK SR 155 combo and am hoping someone can help me.

I can’t get the main bed to tuck with the ribber plate attached. It seems as though the needles don’t come out far enough to catch the yarn and it just knits tubular
(this also happens with slip). 

The ribber bed tucks fine and the main bed does as well with the normal sinker plate. I have tried with and without a punch card but no joy.
Is it possible to tuck on the main bed with the ribber attached or is there something wrong with my machine.

Maybe I will have to be content with half “English ribâ€?.

I found out from a friend that it’s not possible to tuck on the SK155 main bed with the ribber attached. 
Glad it’s not my machine !
