Yes, it is easy once I did it. BUT I didn’t attempt it until I watched your video.Thanks!

[@Knits-WIPs-N-Chains]

Always helpful. I don't have a CSM "yet". But when I do, This is probably where I will start looking for tips and tricks on how to make it do the things that I want it to do. 🥰

[@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter]

Awww thanks!!!

[@beckyshook3526]

You made me go look under mine it is an antique one I totally did not remember those screws thank you

[@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter]

Mine was manufactured in 2021...eek I think. Imi am not sure how older erlbachers were made. But I think it is still quite similar in design. Some people I think have put bolts with 'wing nut' type ends so they can hand tighten/loosen without a tool

Some people might just need a visual reminder. Me... I'm "some people" 😁

So what I want to know is how to put the needles in, my crank won’t go around to let me put the rest of the needles back in. We need a beginner tutorial to show us how to actually get started. Love your videos

[@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter]

I feel like something is in the way of your v cam for it not to crank. Also erlbacher just put up this video and the video before it about putting your vcam and a other piece on the machine correctly. It's hard to diagnose what is happening without actually seeing it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inaaYamNo8ydgKc Also if ot is an erlbacher. I suggest calling them to help diagnose. They are soooo helpful

As a left handed knitter and someone who just got a Speedster, thank you for doing these videos! You have no idea how much time and headaches you've saved me, I could cry from happiness!🥲
