hi, Diana. Last year I happened to come across a video that showed a project of a beautiful lace being done on a knitting machine. Fell in love with the idea of producing wonderful lace work. Bought an SK 840 knitting machine and all it's accessories. My problem now is that my lace carriage LC 580 does not knit any lace patterns from the DAK 8 program. The needles kinda bunch in the carriage and gets stuck. My main reason for investing in this craft is to produce beautiful lace fabrics. Am I doing anything wrong? Very frustrating and a big disappointment. HELP!!!!!
If you're wanting to use a Silver Reed machine to do lace, you MUST use Silver Reed lace patterns. The Brother patterns will not work, because the machines work differently.
By the way, the Enchanted Edgings book I wrote is all Brother lace patterns. They will not work on Silver Reed machines.
I'm an avid machine knitter. I was the first YouTube creator to upload free machine knitting lessons. My goal was to get people to see these wonderful machines in action, Consider joining my Facebook group, “Knitting with Diana Sullivan,” where 9,000 members share their projects, ideas, and questions on just one topic: knitting! This is a happy, accepting place to share your MK challenges and projects.
I offer classes and patterns that make knitting easier and more fun, with key techniques shown, plenty of color photos, clear unabbreviated language, meticulous finishing techniques, and inventive solutions for better results.
I'm a retired CPA. My husband John and I will be married 50 years on December 21, 2024, and we live in in Austin, Texas. We have two adult sons and a beautiful daughter-in-law. John collects and fixes antique motorcycles, and also has a Model A.
