How to fix your knitting machine sentro

[@Bookworm_Bex]

I'm gonna give this a try! Thank you!!! Very helpful!! Seems like everyone is having this issue with this machine.

[@Large_Marge_Sent_Me_]

I just got a smaller version of this for Christmas. I started having this problem within a week. Machine dropped stitches and thread. Live how she explains how to do this

[@hippiepisces9745]

Yea mines making noise and I just got the damn thing like 3 hours ago and still haven’t done anything yet

[@LindaE.Koester-be7pk]

When you attached the drill..😲🤯 Seriously though, thank you for sharing this! I had put my machine aside several months ago. Now I can fix it.

[@michellehaynes8111]

Great idea will try this tomorrow! Mines been so much noise I was about to throw it away! Hopefully this can save it 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@DelgadoMaritza]

Pense que tenia que comprar un Sentro nuevo pero con su video creo que puedo arreglarlo. Gracias!!! 😊

[@wileycovington4497]

Yay!! No dropped stitches, but my counter is noisy. I had to tighten my crank as well. It was a bit loose and was missing catching the gear tread.

[@bsantiago945]

Interesting that you figured out that those 2 pieces are suppose to be one piece together. I was a little skeptical 🤨 but when I saw an Addi machine taken apart indeed the ring similar to this one is a whole unit and seems like it is kept together by screws. I will try to fix mine too maybe glue like you or maybe screws. Will see. 😌

[@KnittingwithDiana]

Screws sound really good idea actually it will be much better thanks

[@nancyirvine8152]

You are brilliant! Thank you so much.

[@KnittingwithDiana]

Wow thanks for the comment ❤️❤️🤗

[@florencecox2022]

GREAT TUTORIAL, JUST GOT THAT MACHINE AT CHRISTMAS. PLEASE NOTE THAT SOMEONE ASKED HOW TO UNRAVEL WASTE YARN USED AT BEGINNING OF SET UP. I TRIED THIS TO DAY ( REF FROM USING A KNITMASTER K/MACHINE) SET UP WITH WASTE YARN AS USUAL. ## AT THIS STAGE USE FINE COTTON , 4 THIN STRANDS ON WHAT I USED TODAY. 3METRES LONG. SET INTO PLACE AS IF YOU WERE JOINING YARN !! KNIT ONE( 1) ROW. NOW TIE A PIECE OF COLOUR WOOL ON END OF YOUR LAST PIECE USED. WHEN YOU PICK UP YOUR Ist STITCHES AND BEFORE YOU PULL IT INTO POSITION ??? PULL THE MARKED YARN OUT OF THE PROJECT. ?? NB--MAKE SURE YOU DON'T CATCH ANY OF THIS SINGLE THREAD WHEN YOU ARE PICKING UP STITCHES ?? SEE HOW YE GO?? HOPE THIS HELPS

[@crispykalechips]

Great video!! I'll have to try this with my machine, it tugs and clicks when I try to use acrylic yarn like red heart super saver. Its been sitting on my shelf because i get so frustrated with it, hopefully this fixes my problem!

[@KnittingwithDiana]

I have the same problem with some yarn it depends how thick the yarn is I also recommend using static guard but if the machine have so much travel working with certain yarn I will said don’t use it

[@mtblondie0036]

Yes my machine is very picky in yarn it don't care for anything #5 it will work it just gives me issues at certain parts of the yarn but it completely loves #4 sorry not sure of brands I do know it hates tht "I love this yarn" brand

[@gtbanga1479]

Red heart low quality in my opinion try Caron one pound… my sentro does fine. Take it apart and clean it dust it then lube it. Food grade silicone based lube

[@KnittingwithDiana]

@@gtbanga1479 i will try Caron too, thanks for the advice

[@richardlo1330]

thank you for this video! i can hear that the machine is operating more quietly, does it feel better when you crank manually? it looks like your fabric after this operation looks much tighter with the knitting... bueno!!

[@epheniateffo2812]

Thank you very much. How do I take out my lever tension which is broken. Should I also open my machine

[@SarahClaus78]

This is so amazingly helpful! Thank you so much!

[@KnittingwithDiana]

Thank you, I’m glad this helps

[@elizabethlolo96]

you just saved my christmas presents

[@raquelreyes8573]

Hi Diana where can I buy the attchment for the screw driver to use in the machine I also would like to thank you for sheaing with us newbie I have a addi and a sentro machine will this attachment work on both machine you may think why do i have two machine being a newbies one was a gift the addi express king and the sentro i brought i still have not done anything because of the machine cranking all the time i will try what you did thank you and many blessings

[@linato1855]

I’m just starting out with a knitting machine and finding it very frustrating. Lost track how many times I’ve undone the work the past three days. I just decided to count the worked rows and surprisingly, the counter is way off. Looking at the end piece going around to the white hook, I counted fifty rounds, the counter showed 31! Now I’m counting the times it goes around and the work seems to resemble what it’s supposed look like. I’m also hearing a lot of noise and already tempted to return it after only a few days. Can the counters be fixed/adjusted or did I receive a lemon? The first machine received wasn’t even the brand I ordered. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@KnittingwithDiana]

Yes unfortunately the counter of the machines doesn’t works well, it’s better if you install a digital counter what kind of yarn are you using also try to work at the same speed sometimes if we change de speed the needle start moving and missing the yarn, I don’t think the brand matter mine is also another brand

[@scottydog6539]

Wow, you are good.

[@KnittingwithDiana]

Thank you, I’m glad you like it

[@raquelreyes8573]

Hola solo quiero saber donde puedo compar el attachment para el drill e escribe ante pero no me a contestado por favor si tiene tiempo deje saber gracias por este video voy a tratar lo que usted iso en el video

[@symoneclarke1372]

Is it glue for plastic or super glue?

[@VondaInWonderland]

One of my needles is bent and won't knit anymore, it just keeps dropping stitches. I will check that too while I have it open. I hope that it will bend back ❤

[@lozaloza882]

I have a new machine, I hope save it gears, which the best? machine oil or White grease for cars, and how many time I open it and clean from inside?

[@KnittingwithDiana]

I used super lube silicone oil, it depends of the use I will said one a month just to check how is going I hope this helps

[@kolawoleabiola1604]

What oil can you recommend for us in Nigeria

[@pamigramstervilleyarnsyarn254]

Thank you it was an easy fix .................

[@KnittingwithDiana]

I’m glad this works for you, thanks for watching 🤗

[@monicab28]

I still have non idea where you put the glue and why you put it there. I see the places on the machine where the little nubs used to be....some are still there and some aren't.

[@JustAllieThanks]

Do you ever get problems with your handle? Mine has got stuck a few times and keeps getting hot to the touch. There's a sound of little broken bits of plastic inside

[@KnittingwithDiana]

This happened to me in the beginning I did it by hand I put too much pressure on the handle and it began to wear out because I also did it very quickly, also you have to be careful with the type of thread if the machine makes a lot of force it is better to try another type of thread or maybe lubricate the machine

Gracias mil👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼agradecida☺️

[@bsantiago945]

Esas dos piezas color rosa se supone que sean una sola. De alguna manera se rompió lo que las unías, aparentemente un pedacito de plástico como se nota en los circulitos blancos que ella señala. Ella utilizo pega para juntarlas de nuevo y así la pieza se mueve como una sola y no deja caer las puntadas, no se queda estancada. Para asegúrame de que así debe ser la pieza me fijé en la pieza de la máquina Addi la cual es roja y si se supone que sea una sola pieza y no estén separadas o rota como se muestra en el vídeo. Espero esta explicación le ayude 😊

[@KnittingwithDiana]

[@knittingnana2939]

I would like to know about that adaptor for the screw gun.

[@KnittingwithDiana]

I sell them on Facebook and Etsy Here is the link facebook.com/marketplace/item/667563824387437/

[@mimisulimani9929]

Where did you buy the electronic counter?

[@KnittingwithDiana]

On Amazon in the description of this video I have a link where you can find it

[@ZueCraftyDiva]

Mine started doing those cracking sounds after I used the drill adaptor. Why? I just opened it today and is not working

[@KnittingwithDiana]

Well Pat of the times I work with the drill I think the problem is working with the wrong yarn you can take a look of your machine inside and see what’s going on maybe lubricant will help I use I love this yarn and also velvet like 5mm some yarns doesn’t work at all in my machine

[@scottydog6539]

You have to be able to take your machine apart to clean it with a soft cloth or hair dryer to blow the dust out. It is said NOT to use just any type of oil on your machine. Some Oils will eat away at your plastic. If you glue those two rings together, yarn dust will accumulate in between those two rings and you cannot clean them because they were glued together.

[@kolawoleabiola1604]

Are you now trying to tell us is not advisable to glue it together…what can we then do again

[@KnittingwithDiana]

The glue isn’t not that strong after awhile the rings will separate and you can clean it up and glue it back, that’s what I do

[@ZubairKhan-vs8fe]

Omg Salma Hayek looks just like you

[@KnittingwithDiana]

Hahaha I wish thanks though 😊

[@Aroobadoota]

Ok... who uses oil and who doesn't?

Sometimes some machines doesn’t like all the yarns try crayon, i love this yarn, or velvet let me know if that works for you

[@KnittingwithDiana]

Try to use medium tension or lose tension

[@KnittingwithDiana]

It also happened with one of my machines the first time I used but now works really well I guess the machine needs time to adjust and you as well to know your machine 😅

But mine is losing back
