The Bill Gates sweater | Cut and sew neckline machine knitting tutorial

[@maryhenry]

I just realized what a clever parallel the thumbnail is; Gates with 5.25" floppy drives, you with stitch transfer tools, and both devices largely obsolete.

[@CatherineWoodward-gu2dd]

Just perfect, thank you. I have a knitmaster bulky 155 and an LK150, both of which I've used quite a bit. I also own a knitmaster 700 and ribber. I've had them all for a good 20 or more years. I've just attached the ribber bed to my standard gauge knitmaster 700, both of which I've spent some time cleaning and servicing.. I've never used the ribber and only just started getting to grips with the main bed. The standard gauge, for some reason, fills me with dread and the ribber terrifies me. But I'm getting on now and feel it's time I gritted my teeth and made the most of them, particularly as I've just bought a whole load of 2/3ply cashmere. I did a search for cut and sew machine knitting to avoid shaping and came across your video. As I said, perfect, because you made it look easy to knit a whole jumper with the ribber, something I thought would be uber difficult and doubt I would ever have attempted. You made it look quite easy. I really must give it a go.

This is the best machine knitting video I have seen. Thank you!

[@FumiyoBookstein]

Love your instructions!! So clear to understand, no BS. THANK YOU! And many more.... :)

[@KnitFactoryImpl]

Glad it was helpful!

[@annetteavery3349]

Love cut and sew, I use it on patterned garments as it is easier the cranking back the card and getting mis patterning and of course on English rib and racked designs, this method is way much easier for me. Thank you for your great videos 👌

[@HeatherKinkopf]

The sweater turned out great

[@angelamae319]

Love your clear, non-nonsense method of teaching. Thank you for the hard work you put into your videos!

[@morganunraveled]

I looove to watch your process! so informative and creative. also the thumbnail 😂

[@jenchess7653]

We have just finished three sweaters of this pattern. Thank you!

[@seirc5876]

I love how you always seem so calm and collected working on your projects.. I only started doing machine knitting for a few months and made loads of mistakes and it drove me bunkers... that ever happened to you? :)

[@KnitFactoryImpl]

Yes, all the time!

[@sonialorenzo9223]

Very useful and the fit was really nice.

[@catherinecrochet]

Im totally new to machine knitting but your perfect explanation gives me the confidence that I could manage to make such a sweater, too (if I indeed manage it, is a different question 😅😅) So, thank you & keep up the good work! ❤

[@mspain]

Omg!! I love this photo, thank you for this video!

[@annecain3301]

Thank you for a clear, easy to follow video.

[@KnitFactoryImpl]

You are welcome!

[@Xtn1Insecticide]

I tried sewing some open weave for the first time the other day and my sewing machine ate it, sucked it into the bobbin. I also tried with paper under it… So now I’m here

[@majormomma]

Thanks for a great tutorial!

[@VVmach]

Amazing I love every single video you make. I have a question after you wash the pieces do you steam it ? Thank you for all this amazing videos, I'm learning a lot with your teaching. Thanks again !!

[@privacytest9126]

That's a really nice tutorial, thank you. Makes me glad I bought a second hand linker though!

[@KnitFactoryImpl]

I have been thinking about getting one. Are they easy to use?

[@jabbaa6500]

@@KnitFactoryImpl Yes they are easy to use, very little learning curve.There are neckline templates over at Knit It Now for cut and sews. Easy enough to shape the neckline on the machine if one wishes. Great job! I've been a knitting machine teacher and doing so for years. Your vids are clear and simple for the novice to follow along. When you can (LOL) do a video for a top down raglan with pattern generator, they are so easy and fast to make.

[@PennyStephenson]

I absolutely love your channel. I made this sweater (sort of) and it worked. Have you considered having a Ravelry account? I would really like to see other sweaters made from your patterns.

[@roselynehalluin1702]

Quel joli pull avec des translations sur le haut!

[@sonialorenzo9223]

Excellent tutorial. But the pose!

[@megsystylish2302]

Do you prefer seaming by hand versus on the machine? There is a more efficient (read: lazier) way to cast off seams as well.

[@kimtaitano2409]

Wow! That was absolutely amazing.

[@knitking]

Great job on this one too! I've been wondering about cut and sew necklines as I will be working on dbj patterns soon. I wasn't sure how exactly you'd get rid of the cut edge. But now I see I'll need a surger. Do you know what model you use and does the knit material ever get stuck? Anyways the sweater looks great and the material looks soft. Definitely got a new subscriber and inspired me to start my own channel!

[@jenchess7653]

Thank you very much for providing the patterns on your website. I think that in the current Drop shoulder cut and sew neckline sweater pattern a RC000 is missing in the Sleeve calculation after transfer all stitches to the main bed or the final RC should be increased by the number of ribbing rows. The body RC is ok. Can you please check this. Thank you very much.

[@minijo1990]

Thank you.❤

[@Leannchops]

Newbie to using a pattern generator: how do you know how much ease to add? And for the body stiches do you do a swatch in rib?

[@marnakarify]

3:22 Hello. At what program and temperature can I wash?

[@lindieinred]

How much positive ease did you use?

[@lynnmissen7371]

What is tuck stitches and how do you wind your cones

[@megadylanthomas]

Could this be done on the LK150?

[@justicewillprevail1106]

Gosh I wish I can knit like you…

[@katelane8702]

Do you ever do knitting patterns from the 40's? Im working on the Lavenda rainbow jumper and i wonder if you could slip stitches time effectively

[@KnitFactoryImpl]

That's interesting. It's this one right? www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rainbow-jumper-4 It looks like they're slipping 2 stitches. I don't think you could do exactly this on the machine but you could get something close.

[@jabbaa6500]

@@KnitFactoryImpl Yes you can slip 2 stitches!

[@glauciacastelobranco7240]

can you tell me what was the uktralock configuration that you used? Thank

[@KnitFactoryImpl]

I turned the differential feed to the highest setting.

What is your name

[@gigiontube]

Bill Gates 😳 Why 🤔 Pick someone else please 🤗

It's not about Bill Gates. It's about the sweater.
