    Diana,
    How can I thank you enough? I have been a hand knitter for years and due to a repeat action injury from it, I have turned to machine knitting. I am in SW Florida and there are no dealers and/or groups around. Without your videos, I wouldn't have been able to even get started. Whatever I had tried from the manuals only worked after watching (and re-watching) your videos.
    You have a true gift of knowing what the beginner needs and teaching it in a very clear and concise manner. And what a wonderful person you must be to share your gifts with those of us in need.
    I am really grateful for all the time and work you have put into these lessons and know I will be visiting over and over again.
    Thank you, thank you, thank you. Best wishes for Christmas and New Years too!
    Karen Raven,

    Raquel, make sure the yarn you are using is thin enough. It needs to be as thin as a pencil lead - or thinner. Your machine will not knit thick yarn.

    See if you can find a machine knitting friend. There may be a group in Puerto Rico, or someone you can phone who would be willing to come over and take a look.

    Make sure the thread is all the way in the yarn feeder on the carriage.

    Good luck!

    Diana, I have just finished my first circular sock following your YouTube videos step by step. Fantastic! I thought I knew how to do it but just couldn't make it work before I worked with your videos. Thank you.
