Brother Knitting Machine Punch Cards

[@jorgerobles628]

As Always Very Nice and Clear Video with very Detailed Instructions and examples!!!!! "KC" stands for "Knitting with Card- marking/sequence step 2". You have to follow the number sequence, with # 1 being the card reader in fixed position, # 2 is set the Knitter carriage round selector in #2, knit to select the needles, then # 3 is to Push Knitting carriage buttons, any of them depending what you want to do from the card- slip, color/fairaisle or tuck, or weaving levers on the sinker plate, and then once the carriage had put the needles into position, you move the card reader to # 4 and continue knitting. Thanks for your time and excellent videos, they are a joy!!!!!

Thanks so much!

Thanks for another very practical video. I have not tried the punch cards yet but you make it look so easy to create beautiful patterns.

[@nadinedonovan989]

Hi Anna! I am very excited. I watched your video and was able to do this on my machine. Thank you very much!

[@AnnaHaferman]

That’s great! Now you can try out a variety of punch cards!

[@Ravencall]

Thanks for this video. My used KnitKing Bulky came with a very minimal manual. The card reader has been daunting to me. When I did try it I had a messy selvedge problem- it might have been a tension problem. Looks like you had a similar problem. But it did make a pretty tuck swatch. Will have to try again...

[@AnnaHaferman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DanielaBlatch]

This is super helpful thank you so much Anna!

[@SonjaTimmermans]

Dear Anna, I have needle 6 left from 0 and needle 7 right from 0 who do not knit always in my pattern card brother number 3 . Can you help me discover why these do not work well ? Thank you

[@AnnaHaferman]

If it's the same needles each time it probably has something to do with the thing under the needles on the inside. (Sorry I don't know what it's called.) It's possible that there is a foreign object or lint underneath. What does your sponge bar look like?

[@cherylwurtenberger7963]

I am having problems with my 830. I noticed you don't go all to the end of the bed with the carriage, I wonder if my problem is I am going too far. what do you think.

[@AnnaHaferman]

Are you getting loops at the edges? You only need to go just past the needles. You can also check under your round brushes to see if there is lint.

[@cherylwurtenberger7963]

@AnnaHaferman no, the punchcard doesn't work properly. I'll look at it again. I was pretty disappointed that it wasn't working, so i put it away to let me think about it. . But I'm sure I can use the machine in other ways.

[@aldina1997]

Hi Anna love your videos! I believe KC means knit Card

[@AnnaHaferman]

Thank you! That makes much more sense than ‘knit carriage!’

[@ElizabethJones-dp7fx]

Knitting and with cand making sequence in which is a watching player sawing and making it was it was Remember to make pain needed

[@AnnaHaferman]

Sounds great!

[@pattyavellan3035]

KC stands for Knitting Cam :-)

[@AnnaHaferman]

Thanks! Other people have said "knitting card," as well.

[@SPASPAWIZ]

I thought it could be knit count?

[@uniquegirls1599]

[@marjetagomboc3219]

Hi! I love this video. I am new in knitting machine user. I have Brother KH 830 knitting machine and I understand, that you have free manual, How to use knitting machine but I can not finde it. Thanks for help.

[@annselby5503]

Which one would be good for a baby blanket?

[@AnnaHaferman]

Tuck stitch is good because it doesn’t have floats that little fingers can get stuck in.

[@margwoods4973]

How do I reach the Knitting Machine groups please?

[@AnnaHaferman]

Go to Facebook and search knitting machines. There are a ton of groups, including mine. facebook.com/groups/269534471915185 Join my group and I will post links for some other good groups.

[@whoknitter4673]

I have question: Do I use No 1s for Brother knitting machines? or do I have specific punch card? and also I use No1s. it is cool but the card does not move every row. Did I do wrong way?

[@AnnaHaferman]

Yes, usually card 1 is the same in all sets. The sets have different letters because all cards are not the same. I don't know if you did something wrong, but try again. If you go to the longer triangle when you advance the card it will only advance every 2 rows. If you forget to go to the triangle, it will not advance. Try again and don't skip any steps.

KC = knit card Where are the links you stated you would put in the description?

[@AnnaHaferman]

Aha! Thank you so much!!!

[@AnnaHaferman]

I have added the links in the description. Sorry for the delay; I added them all yesterday and then had to re-upload the video, so forgot to add all the links.

[@user-qm2dh7kv4r]

Were can I get the manual book ??

[@AnnaHaferman]

Which knitting machine do you have?

[@nadinedonovan989]

Hi Anna! I really appreciate your videos. They really help me. I have a question- for your stand machine: what yarn are you using? I have a standard and I am really having a difficult time with yarns. Enjoy a cup of coffee on me!😀

[@AnnaHaferman]

Thanks Nadine! I am using fingering weight yarn on cones. The ones I am using are on cones. You can still order them online from different sources. I will put some links in the description box soon.

[@nadinedonovan989]

Hi Anna! Thank you for the links. I just ordered some wool from Silk City and then some acrylic from KnitKack. I really appreciate your help. I was getting no were fast. You are awesome!

[@AnnaHaferman]

@@nadinedonovan989 Excellent! Which standard gauge machine do you have?

[@nadinedonovan989]

I have a Taitexma I ordered it from All Brands I believe. It is very similar to a Brother

[@AnnaHaferman]

@@nadinedonovan989 Yes, I think they are modeled after the old Brother machines. I have never seen one in person but they are supposed to be good.

[@ramsses7672]

How do they make the punch cards?

[@AnnaHaferman]

You can buy pre-punched ones or use a special punch and blank cards and punch them yourself. Also, see my video on how to make them with a Cricut.

[@nadinedonovan989]

Thanks!

[@AnnaHaferman]

You are the best, Nadine! Thank you so much!

[@debbiel7736]

I belong to your FB group and have been looking for a download for that card. I have a cricket and would like to cut it out. I can't find it in your files. It is hard with no pictures to reference.
