The main reason for plating, is it allows you to knit with, for instance, a sparkly metallic yarn, which may normally be very scratchy next to your skin, so you would plate it with maybe a smooth cotton, that knits on the back side, making the fabric much more wearable. It is also useful for knitting stripes where the colour change is less regular or for non seamed pieces of knitting. Without long strands being carried up the sides by the colours.
Well I must say that you are a very good demonstrator, very clear with your instructions, and you do beautiful samples, Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, Cheers Anna.
Wow! I have only just heard of the plating feeder so came to research it. Thank you so much. I have an Empisal knitting machine but it has been in storage for 30 years. I am busy cleaning and servicing it. I believe it is similar to the Brother machines. Your videos are always so clear and easy to understand. Greetings from Perth in Australia. ❤️
Very good Elena, I really like the plating but I had never seen a checkered pattern. This leaves a lot of room for the imagination. Thanks for your sharing
Amazing I have a plating feeder but never used it. Now I'm excited to try. Unfortunately I only have a single bed Brother Chunky so I would like to see more ideas for single beds. Thanks
I love all your videos and thank you for sharing such golden knowledge with us! This really inspired me to try a plating feeder on my ribber set up, however I’m finding that the plating yarn is skipping stitches on almost every row. I’ve tried a couple of different yarns and tensions but nothing seems to work. I was thinking it might be due to different yarn weights. I wonder if you might have any ideas or tips on why this might be happening? I’d be so grateful 🙏 Thank you!
Thanks so much ♥️ so sorry to hear that you are struggling with that…I honestly don’t know what the issue might be ; the yarn thickness should not matter so much for o cause such an issue, I have tried with both yarns the same or one finer one chunkier.. Are you able to knit fine on double bed otherwise? It might be that the beds are jot aligned properly.. Hope you will manage to solve the problem! Good luck! 🤗
Great question, I am not too sure… I would say it is probably not possible, since the intarsia carriage doesn’t have a plying option ( at least not for my brother machine) but can’t be 100 % sure without trying. 🤔
Hi! Thanks so much for the video! I have a double bed sinker plate for my brother kh970 but for some reason the plating feeder won’t attach? Is there a certain sinker plate you can recommend?
hi thanks for watching 😊 not quite sure why that would happen... the first thing that comes to my head is that maybe the plating feeder is not the correct one for your machine? 🤔 I think the ones for brother would all look the same but cannot be entirely sure .. this is a link with the one that I am using for my kh891 with a kr850 ribber bed : shop.sckmcl.com.hk/products/plating-yarn-feeder-for-brother-knitting-machine-kr850-411997001 Hope this helps :)
Mencantan tus videos!!!!, son maravillosos y muy bien explicados. Me gustaria como puedo adquirrir esas placas machine knitting plating , no tengo de KR 830, donde venden y que nombre tiene por favor
gracias. 😊 I think these plating feeder should fit on all the standard brother. I am pretty sure if you search "plating feeder" on ebay or on some machine knitting sales facebook groups you should be able to find one.
Thank you so much ! My teacher told me about it but I've never tried to work with it. I know what I've been missing now😫... Do you know, by any chance, where I could find one that fits for an erka 25 coupled with an erka T5 ?
Hi glad to have helped. 🥰 I am sorry but I do not know where you could find those, there are lots of facebook groups for machine knitters just have a search on Facebook; there are large groups and I am sure someone might be able to help you there 🤗 Hope this helps. Good luck 🤗
Eva Fitzgerald 0 seconds ago Hi! Thank you for such useful and clear videos! One question: would this plaiting work in combination with the ripple stitch you showed in another video? I want to have one side solid and the other ripples in multi colors. (Double bed)
Does your plating feeder stuck to the metal teeth of the machine? I installed mine but I have hard time pulling the carriage because the feeder keeps hitting on the metal teeth in front…
There are loads of yarn counts that work on a standard machine, it took me years so understand yarn counts ( And there are still some that confuse me! If you are just starting out , a place to get yarns for standard gauge is Uppingham yarns or Yeoman. Hope this helps 🤗
it really depends on what you want to achieve; you can start with a 1x1, 2x2 rib or full needle ( I do have videos for these if you want to check it you 🤗)

I love this design can you do this on a lk150 or lk100 knitting machine?
Not sure as I only have a Brother, but if your machine has a plating feeder I don’t see why you couldn’t 🤗

💯💯💯👌👌👌
Thank you 😊
I am very very indrested but I work on single brother machine only in this season I by double bed machine plz guide me how can i use it
There are loads of videos covering double bed knitting on youTube. I will keep in mind and upload some more in the future too 😊
Hi, I live in Brazil. Would you Tell me where I can by these platings? Thank you
I am not sure, sorry 🥲
Can you do plating and Intarsia at the same time so your intarsia graphics are plated to the same yarn as the main garment?
Great question, I am not too sure… I would say it is probably not possible, since the intarsia carriage doesn’t have a plying option ( at least not for my brother machine) but can’t be 100 % sure without trying. 🤔
Hi! Thanks so much for the video!
I have a double bed sinker plate for my brother kh970 but for some reason the plating feeder won’t attach? Is there a certain sinker plate you can recommend?
hi thanks for watching 😊 not quite sure why that would happen... the first thing that comes to my head is that maybe the plating feeder is not the correct one for your machine? 🤔 I think the ones for brother would all look the same but cannot be entirely sure ..

Hi, do you know of this techique can be done in singer machines? I use a Platini feeder when doing jaquard on one bed
Hi! I am not sure to be honest, haven’t used a singer machine🤗 if you do figure let us know 🤗
💕💕💕🤩🤩 i get it 🙈❤️
✨✨

Thank you! 🤔 hmmm , I am not sure but it shouldn't be a problem to use the plating feeder for other techniques. sorry couldn't help more 😊
Does your plating feeder stuck to the metal teeth of the machine? I installed mine but I have hard time pulling the carriage because the feeder keeps hitting on the metal teeth in front…
Hmm, this never happened to me, maybe is not put it tight enough.. Sorry to hear you are having trouble..
HI ! I'm working on erka 40, do you know were can I buy the plating fider for the dibble bed ?
thanks for your video, love your work !!!!
I am not sure 🤗.. Thank you!
For a standard gauge what thickness of yarns do you recommend?
There are loads of yarn counts that work on a standard machine, it took me years so understand yarn counts ( And there are still some that confuse me!
If you are just starting out , a place to get yarns for standard gauge is Uppingham yarns or Yeoman. Hope this helps 🤗
@@Knitology1x1 yeah I know the size for regular stitching. I use 4ply. 4ply is too thick for plating
How to start double bed machine
it really depends on what you want to achieve; you can start with a 1x1, 2x2 rib or full needle ( I do have videos for these if you want to check it you 🤗)
Would the plating attachment work with Brother KH260 please
I had a quick search and I did find plating feeder for the bulky machine so yeah it has to work ✨✨ let me know how it goes 😊
❤

Good nigth. Would you tell me what is the model of your elgin brother? Tks
