Archive of Thread: Brother Ribber (260-Bulky) Back

2 years ago
my ribber on my Brother 260 is out of alignment....i.e. Pitch and Half Pitch don't quite align.
The gate pegs at Full Pitch are approximately 2.5 mm apart and the same for the needles at Half Pitch (just barely missing each other).  I can move the Handle in between the numbers (meaning it's not locked either way) and they line up correctly.
Is there a way to adjust this? I don't think having the handle 1/2 way between numbers will hold all the way thru knitting a piece.  ;+(

Jill,
Have you tried this adjustment?

Great video....at the end, you say if the needles are not directly across from each other (at the P position )then you need to adjust the ribber from left to right.  
That's the part I can't figure out.   I don't see a way to adjust left/right, only in and out. I looked in the 260 ribber manual and I didn't see it there.  Sorry, I guess I'm having a senior moment (s).
