My husband has tried to help me put it together and read the manual to me. I am so stupid. Wherever I went to a Fiber Festial or Sheep and Wool Fair I would ask trying to find someone to help me learn how to use the knitting machine. After 16 years and 7 attempts my husband wanted to burn all of it. I had to hide it under a bed wrapped in a quilt. Then a few weeks ago I found a wonderful couple in Tennessee who welcomed me into their home and was willing to teach me how to set up the knitting machine. Nothing fancy, but I have made several hats and few pairs of fingerless gloves. How do I join an on line group. I can't get the ribber to work. I have a new wax bar, It needs a hospital. Is there a dr in the house?susan@talotamhollow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526470724880886986.post-23487460707763721862012-05-24T13:02:53.994-05:002012-05-24T13:02:53.994-05:00Eu acho que eu não sei como fazer isso.

First one - use a garter bar. It's in my garter bar lessons. Second method - use several rows of waste yarn, take the knit fabric off the machine, then pick the stitches back on, doubling up the stitches as needed for the decreases.Diana L.

I've noticed several different stand steamers in stores like Target with much lower prices than I paid for the Jiffy.<br /><br />I have had one Jiffy Steamer break down. I don't know why. But we use it a lot - almost every day - we used it for all our clothes! I hardly ever get out an iron.Diana L.
