Archive of Thread: Pattern Selector PS-150 Have you seen one of these? Back

2 years ago

I just ran across this and the machine geek in me is fascinated.

This device was made for the Silver reed SK150 / 151 (bulky) machine.

I would like to learn to knit with this PS-150 device and using my own Brother-230 knitting machine. Could anyone advise me or teach me some kind of lesson? Because it has been said that this device can be used together with the Brother-230 machine. I would especially like to knit Knit-in (Fair isle) patterns. I've tried hard, but I still don't know how to set the machine's settings correctly. Something always goes wrong and the pattern doesn't come out right.

Do you  have a PS-150?  I  hope I didn't confuse anyone.. these are no longer being made and I'm assuming they are hard to find.

We have an entire course on the Brother 240 machine

Fairisle on a manual machine like yours can be a challenge. When you say "the pattern doesn't come our right" what exactly is happening?

Here is a video that may help.
