Any machine was okay as long as you had the right needle pitch. I noticed that some of the dealers have them in stock and very reasonable prices, at least standard gauge ones. Other sizes are just impossible to find.<br /><br />Kris Basta's garter bars cover those other sizes. She's making several mid-gauges and a 9 mm bulky. You do have to buy the stopper separately.Diana L.

...I'll check out the garter bar lessons again. <br /><br />I am considering to buy a garter bar (finishing jumpers and cardies must be SO much quicker if you're using a garter bar for stich holder!) Are they different for different brands of machines?<br /><br />I assume the garter bar itself would be the same as long as the needle pitch is right, I am more thinking about the needle stopper. Do they come in different makes for different machines?Oslonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526470724880886986.post-76683117769239221852010-09-20T16:22:12.141-05:002010-09-20T16:22:12.141-05:00Sure, I've done complex cables on the ribber. ...Sure, I've done complex cables on the ribber. You have to think about whether it's worth it and how much hand manipulation you have to do.<br /><br />One thing to look at is my woven cable garter bar lesson.
