I am so glad I found your video Susan! ..... It has helped immensely as I am a beginner and need to learn lots! I look forward to receiving the combs, thank you Lesley
I got a better understanding watching you run that machine up and down up and down while the sweater was coming out thank you for that you didn't go into too many details to many
Hi, I have just found your video. Great, thank you for it. I am just getting out my machines, and frankly haven't used them for a while, but want to start again. As I had forgotten most of how to do it, your video is just what I needed to start me off again. Many thanks again, lovely video
Glad you found the video helpful. Sometimes using the book can be a bit confusing. Dont forget to give your carriage a bit of oil and check that your sponge bar is okay.
Please do lots more! I’ve seen a few tutorials on the silver reed on youtube but none have been as easy and straightforward to understand as yours. I gave up and put my machine away but after seeing this tutorial, i’m excited to take it out and try again. Would be great if you could show how to knit sock/jumpers etc and the different stitch functions on the dial.
I believe in making things easy. There are so many ways of doing things but I'll try make it as simple as possible. I will do some more in the coming weeks.
Thanks for the demonstration. I have several Studio knitting machines (bulky, standard, midgauge) and ribbers, so it's good to see them in action, since most people are using Brother machines, it seems. Good demonstration.
Thanks Jon. When I first started machine knitting about 7 years ago, I battled so much with trying to learn how to cast on. It took ages and a lot of frustration to get it right. I have been criticized for using a Brother cast on comb for a Singer machine however the Singer Cast on method it not the easiest method I've found. I wanted to get people up and running as quickly as possible, to be able to enjoy machine knitting and to see how easy it can be to knit. I did this video mainly because I sold a knitting machine to someone in another city and it was so they could watch and follow at the same time. Since then I have repaired and sold a number of Singer punch card machines and have included a Brother Cast on comb with each machine and refer them to the TH-cam video to get started :)
@@susanglaus4312 You're very welcome. I purchased all of my used machines online (except for the LK 150, the plastic bed, manual midgauge) and was very lucky that all were complete and worked with just minor tweaking. I also added the Brother, standard gauge, cast on comb, since it looked like a very useful tool. It sure is. Keep up the good work and the demos, as they are much appreciated.
Yes, that would be the reason why the stitches drop. In the manual it explains the reason why you pull 1 stitch forward for each row. It gives you a finished edged.
@@susanglaus4312 Thank you for your reply! That's great to hear. I just purchased a vintage machine that has barely been used. I can't wait to try it and I will be watching all of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
It's because you are using different colour yarns and 1 yarn might end before the knitted edge and when you pull the needle forward it will catch/knit the yarn to give it a neat edge.
Great video! I have been cleaning up a 321. It is a great, sturdy machine. I have been successful getting it to tuck and slip, but whenever I try fairisle, the main color does not knit off properly. The colors don’t switch on the main side of the fabric. If I look at the needles while knitting, some needles have two stitches on them instead of the single stitch they should have. I am going to try again with your video, but I think I have done everything just as you have. I have also cleaned the carriage and made sure the flippers are moving like they should and installed new spongebars. In addition, I have cleaned old fiber out of the bed of the machine and from the “towers” on the carriage. I would be thrilled if you had some advice. I am mostly familiar with Brother machines, so I am hoping that I have just missed something stupid.
Hi Laura, Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, it's been a hectic week. The only thing I can think of with 2 stitches on the same needle is that you need extra weight on your knitting? Are all the levers on the side and front of the carriage in the correct positions? The "towers" you mentioned, are the drums and they help with patterning. With the carriage off the bed, do the drums spin freely/easily? Let me know if you managed to sort the issue out. Happy knitting :)
thank you so much for this video! I have a Studio Model 322, which looks EXACTLY like this machine.. I'm assuming they are the same, just singer vs studio. on my carriage, one of the big dials on the back (unsure of its name) but its not spinning freely. I'm told they both should turn quite easily. I can't find anything jamming it. Any idea how to get it moving? I'd love to get this machine operational. thanks!!
Sorry for not replying sooner. You can purchase the punch cards online or you can make your own. Search the web for making your own knitting machine punch cards
It's to make different types of stitches (A different pattern). The best is to search on Google " Knitting machine tuck stitch pictures" and you'll be able to see the type of stitches you'll be able to make with your machine. Certain punch cards (that may have come with your machine) are only for tuck stitch. Look up the other types of stitches on google to see that they can do.
Unfortunately I don't teach online. There are a number of TH-cam videos people have made that can help. I will upload some more videos in the coming weeks.
Thanks so much for this! I inherited a model very close to this one and I couldn't imagine how the punch card worked. I'm blown away!!! Can't wait to get the machine re-habilitated and give it a try!
Hello again, When you finished your work you just slid the carriage across. How do you cast off to stop the work unravelling? Another question, I see the work is starting to "tube". Is there any way to stop SS from rolling up into a tube? It's most annoying. Thank for your video. Regards, JennyB.
Hi Susan I have a Empisal NG200... Haven't a clue how to work it, with 7 grandchildren would love to learn. Pl Please advise where or how you could possibly help.
I have been knitting on this machine as well as newer ones, up to the Electronic model 580 for round about 40 years. I actually started on the PB8 (bush button machine). I have never seen these colourful punch cards. My punch cards are all white. Where did you get those punch cards?
Hi Suzan, I am in Melbourne I bought Singer 321 about 3 years ago and I can not make it work ,the yarn is getting winded around the brush every few rows on left side and or the right side I change the brushes but is still the same so I jus put it away it frustrates me that I can’t figure out what is the problem.
So happy I came across your channel today,have a knitting machine it’s a singer have not use it in years I mean years! Enjoy watching your videos as I have forgotten some things, you have encouraged me to get it out and set it up again! Have Subscribed to your channel will watch more of your thank you so much for sharing appreciate Liz 😊🇨🇦
My knitting machine has been in storage since my son was born over 30 years ago. Now he has become a dad so just got it back . You make it seem so easy. Thank you
I was planning on doing a maintenance video as I have a number of machines I need to strip and clean. I'll look at doing something in the next couple of weeks.
I’m following this video, but the first row - my machine is not doing anything! It’s not catching the yarn! I wished you explained the whole setting on the carriage
You need to make sure you have pushed the yarn all the way in and the end of the yarn underneath the machine, push towards the back of the machine and then try knit from left to right. If sounds like you haven't push the yarn into the carriage properly
That is so cool!. I spent much more time making a Fair Isle hat and now working on an Intarsia sweater by hand. Needless to say, with a couple of knitting problems that need to be solved. After seeing your video, I will have to save up for a knitting machine! Thnkd you.
This is the 9th 0r 10th time I watch this video and always find it so informative!!!!!! Kudos to this Lady, she is wonderful explaining!!!! God bless you!!!!!
I am glad you found it easy as it actually is quite easy. You just need to join an online group and keep asking questions to make machine knitting enjoyable. There is just so much you can do with the machine. Summer tops, pants, suites, dresses, skirts. :)
Hello Susan, I just got one of this vintage machine and was able to cast on and the do the beginning when I realized I don’t have punch cards. Where do I find them ? It seems that all are digital …lol…I’m so lost. How do I do this ? “ please help me “ ? Thank you kindly ~ Patricia
Whereabouts are you in the world? You can purchase a set of 20 cards from China for around AUD$25 or if you have an electronic craft cutter you can cut your own. I use a Brother scan and cut machine, but you can use a Silhoutte or Cricut machine. There is info on TH-cam how to do that and a Facebook group I have uploaded files you use with your cutting machine. Website AliExpress. Check it out!

@@susanglaus4312 Thank you so very much !!! This is great start for me. I live in US. How about sizes cards. Do you know what size blank cards I buy it for my machine ? My daughter in law has a circuit maybe she can donut for me :)
Hello. This is a very nice video. I live in greece and I have o singer 322. I think that is just that same with yours. I don't know how to use it. Τhe part that is supposed to move remains still . Do you have eny idea how to solve this problem?
I hope you can help with this question - I have the Singer model 700 which is very similar to the one you demonstrate in this video. I have checked the control settings in the manual so many times I can't count, but for the life of me I can't get the machine/needles to pick up the second color yarn for Fair Isle. I've done everything as you have, making sure I'm using the slot in the yarn feed for the 2nd color of yarn. Our carriages look very similar - you make it look so easy! I have absolutely no idea why it's not working. If you have ideas, I would love to hear them! I cannot find any videos that discuss this particular issue. Plenty about loops and missed stitches, but none about why the yarn isn't being picked up. I'd actually be happy for loops at this point! :)
I have the Singer 700 and will do a quick video and upload this evening after work. Have you oiled your carriage so all the little flippers underneath move easily? Do all the dials on top of your carriage move easily? If you are subscribed to mt channel you should get notified when I upload the video.
@@susanglaus4312 Thank you and Greetings from the mid-western United States!! I'm subscribed now....love your videos! I am new to machine knitting with real (not plastic) machines and am making good use of all the videos on TH-cam- I had used a spray lubricant called LPS1 that helps unstick old oil (cleaning it) and lubricating it at the same time and as far as I knew the carriage was operating properly. The dials were hard to turn before I did that, then much better after. I cleaned/lubed all the moving parts underneath and they appeared to be moving properly. However, it is possible that something was still sticking/not operating correctly that I do not know about since I'm not familiar with all the workings, so I dismantled it (removed plastic pieces only) and am soaking the carriage in "Marvel Mystery Oil" to help clean out any old, solidified oil I can't see. I'm giving it a good soak of several days, then after I will clean it thoroughly and try again. This is an old machine that belonged to my mother-in-law, barely used if at all and sat for probably 40 years. I've given it so much cleaning, even filing rust off all the needles! If you'd like to do a more detailed video on the operations of that particular machine in Fair Isle I would love it! I inherited the ribber for that machine as well....so much to learn.
@@susanglaus4312 Good News! After a good soak and cleaning, my carriage is now operating properly and can knit Fair Isle! Apparently the problem, unbeknownst to me, was not the 2nd yarn but the carriage parts not engaging properly when I switched it to the Fair Isle setting. It works now! However, if you'd like to do any videos with the Singer 700, I for one would love to learn anything you'd like to share! Especially interested in using the ribber with it to knit a large panel and also how to knit a circle. Thank you so much for your videos!
Normally sold around AUD$100 to $300 depending on the condition. If they haven't been used in years, they would need to be oiled and a new spongebar installed. You can purchase 2nd hand ones. Depending which country you are in, you could use Facebook Market Place, Ebay, Gumtree
@@susanglaus4312 Ive made some panels of knitted fabric but its very uncontrolled as far as me being able to plan what I want to do and then produce it. also still dont like the cast on and cast off look of the panels :(
Hi Susan, I hope you can help, I am trying to find 4ply wool on a cone for my knitting machine. I am in Melbourne and cannot find any here. Thanks for the tutorials so easy to follow.
If you are talking about your punch cards, no not necessary if you are only doing a few rows before changing to a different punch card. If you are doing hundreds of rows, yes, so the punch card keeps rotating around and around
Hi Susan, can I please contact you on email? I love your videos. I have an Empisal knitting machine and your video has helped so much to understand my machine more but I am not there yet with understanding everything entirely.
Hi there love your video! I'm new to using a machine as I can't crochet by hand anymore due to severe carpol tunnel and I have a question the model I use is a Toyota ks 901 would this tutorial still apply to mine silly question I know but I'm new to this haha
Buenos dias. Gracias por compartir sus conocimientos. Tengo la misma máquina. Ojala pueda realizar tutoriales para el manejo de los patrones. E buscado y no hay. Es util conocer el funcionamiento muchas gracias.. Estaré pendiente de su canal. Saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴.
Thanks. I find people can overcomplicate things. I am starting to learn how to use a Passap / Pffaf and again, people have all said how difficult they are to learn compared to any other machine. Once I get the hang of that one, I hope to do simple instructions too so that people aren't so frightened to use them :)
I am so glad I found your video Susan! ..... It has helped immensely as I am a beginner and need to learn lots! I look forward to receiving the combs, thank you Lesley

Excellent! About 35 years ago I bought a knitting machine similar to yours, and I have forgotten how to use it. Thank you for the tutorial!
It's a pleasure. Just make sure you have a good apongebar and oil your carriage regularily
Thank you so much- you explain very well -your teaching is easy to follow & understand compared to other machine knitting tutorials here on youtube.

That's beautiful! I really want one of these now. I think I don't have the patience for hand knitting large pieces.
once you get into machine knitting, you'll never look back

Yes, that would be the reason why the stitches drop. In the manual it explains the reason why you pull 1 stitch forward for each row. It gives you a finished edged.

However, it is possible that something was still sticking/not operating correctly that I do not know about since I'm not familiar with all the workings, so I dismantled it (removed plastic pieces only) and am soaking the carriage in "Marvel Mystery Oil" to help clean out any old, solidified oil I can't see. I'm giving it a good soak of several days, then after I will clean it thoroughly and try again. This is an old machine that belonged to my mother-in-law, barely used if at all and sat for probably 40 years. I've given it so much cleaning, even filing rust off all the needles! If you'd like to do a more detailed video on the operations of that particular machine in Fair Isle I would love it! I inherited the ribber for that machine as well....so much to learn.
@@susanglaus4312 Good News! After a good soak and cleaning, my carriage is now operating properly and can knit Fair Isle! Apparently the problem, unbeknownst to me, was not the 2nd yarn but the carriage parts not engaging properly when I switched it to the Fair Isle setting. It works now! However, if you'd like to do any videos with the Singer 700, I for one would love to learn anything you'd like to share! Especially interested in using the ribber with it to knit a large panel and also how to knit a circle. Thank you so much for your videos!
where can i buy this machine and how much is it ??
Normally sold around AUD$100 to $300 depending on the condition. If they haven't been used in years, they would need to be oiled and a new spongebar installed. You can purchase 2nd hand ones. Depending which country you are in, you could use Facebook Market Place, Ebay, Gumtree
thank you
I enjoyed rewatching your tutorial as I set up my knitting machine. Thank you for very clear instructions and wish you lived in Michigan, USA.
Thank you!!!!!! This was so helpful. I have a different machine but your video and your definitions of what things are we're so helpful
Have you managed to knit something with your other machine yet?
@@susanglaus4312 Ive made some panels of knitted fabric but its very uncontrolled as far as me being able to plan what I want to do and then produce it. also still dont like the cast on and cast off look of the panels :(
Super
Mattress
Thank you!
Hi Susan, I hope you can help, I am trying to find 4ply wool on a cone for my knitting machine. I am in Melbourne and cannot find any here. Thanks for the tutorials so easy to follow.
Is it compulsory to pin down your cards
If you are talking about your punch cards, no not necessary if you are only doing a few rows before changing to a different punch card. If you are doing hundreds of rows, yes, so the punch card keeps rotating around and around
Hi Susan, can I please contact you on email? I love your videos. I have an Empisal knitting machine and your video has helped so much to understand my machine more but I am not there yet with understanding everything entirely.
Hi there love your video! I'm new to using a machine as I can't crochet by hand anymore due to severe carpol tunnel and I have a question the model I use is a Toyota ks 901 would this tutorial still apply to mine silly question I know but I'm new to this haha
Buenos dias. Gracias por compartir sus conocimientos. Tengo la misma máquina. Ojala pueda realizar tutoriales para el manejo de los patrones. E buscado y no hay. Es util conocer el funcionamiento muchas gracias.. Estaré pendiente de su canal. Saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴.
I Hope you will do more videos❤❤❤❤❤…thank you so much
Thank you Mama you've made me love knitting the more. You're the best coz your lecture was very clear 👍
Wow!
Thank you ma'am
The best how to knit so far - and I have watched quite a few!
Thanks. I find people can overcomplicate things. I am starting to learn how to use a Passap / Pffaf and again, people have all said how difficult they are to learn compared to any other machine. Once I get the hang of that one, I hope to do simple instructions too so that people aren't so frightened to use them :)
Thank you so much for the video !!!! Help me a lot .
I'm glad you found it helpful. Happy knitting!
Thanks 😊
