SENTRO Making the PERFECT Flat Panel

[@SteWe28]

This has been the most helpful video I have found so far! Thank you for helping my sanity!! I do have a question though please. I keep finding my last hooks have multiple loops on them when I do panels. Sometimes 3 or 4! And then my yarn cant fit under the hook any more and I get cross and take the knitting off. Does anybody know why I might be getting this please? Hoping somebody knows! Thank you ❤️ And thank you again for the video! ❤

[@BeyondtheLens53]

Thank you very much. I hope someone can answer your questions, I certainly have no idea. I've never seen that before. I will pin this comment hoping someone can help.

[@susansays5627]

This happens to me too - I think it happens because the stitches aren't fully down on the edge needles, OR because I'm actually holding the tension too tight when I do the edge stitches. It is fixable, but it's fiddly and awkward. If you look up "bunched stitches on a Sentro", you'll see an example of how to fix it. Good luck! :)

[@susansays5627]

I've also realised something - the stitches need to be right down at the bottom, not just "not at the top" I think I was leaving several of my stitches just partway down, thinking that if they weren't at the top, it would be fine.

[@BeyondtheLens53]

@@susansays5627 some very good information thanks so much

[@Spirit-8]

You have save my mind from being destroyed by this machine, and casting on a panel and keeping it going without loosing the ends , or the ends ending up a messy knot , thank you so much.

[@Painter931]

I figured this out too myself that my tension on the ends has to be tighter. Then I saw your video and it confirmed what I was doing. One side of stitches always looks beautiful the other side is crooked. I am going to get this I keep practicing. I know the machine will behave once I finally get it. I think the machine eventually loosens up with work in it repeatedly. It's kinda of stuff because it's brand new.

[@BeyondtheLens53]

I agree…Once the bugs were worked outta mine, it does behave differently now, 100%.

[@ReneeMyltoft]

Thank you!!! This was very helpful.

[@DAFlint]

I started using this just recently because my daughter keep growing out of the clothes before I can finish making them by hand. So i got the sentro and it’s just the thing I needed. Mine doesn’t have the issue with it not pushing down once I get a few rows in

[@BeyondtheLens53]

Mine does for a few rows depending on yarn i use, but after about 10 rows, once the weight is there, its pretty good.

Hi!!! What are the numbers on the hooks that we are to focus on at the beginning and end ?

[@BeyondtheLens53]

Your not focusing on the numbers..only the beginning st. And the last st. Makes no difference what number peg it falls on.

[@beverlyjames1332]

Can you tell us the numbers on the pegs you're talking about! The machine has numbers in between each peg, from 1 to 48, 48 is the last peg, it will make it easier for me to get to understand the concept of it, thanks.

[@BeyondtheLens53]

Yes I am aware the pegs are numbered, thank you. It does not matter which peg numbers you use. You use whichever ones you wish. The numbers will not change how a flat panel is done.

I’m sorry to hear about your strokes. I’m also a crocheted, i suck at knitting , lmao, so i got a machine, 22 pin and 40 pin, and i have looms as well.

[@PrettylilWaffle]

How do you have 2 white pegs? I can’t tell which is the end your working on. I go 2 past my end & I still keep dropping every stitch at the end

[@BeyondtheLens53]

@@PrettylilWaffle I don't have two white needles, I'm doing a full panel, the white needle you see is the same one. Once you go two past you need to pull down on your lead yarn to keep it tight as you change directions to go back the other way. Once your first yarn peg catches you can ease up on your tension.

[@lizacrochets98]

How many inches is the panel? Was wanting to see if its big enough for my dog bed cover . Does every peg measure a inch ?

[@BeyondtheLens53]

You would have to measure your machine..probably make a couple panels and mattress.st. them together.
