Singer Knitting Machine models 321 to 329 quick and easy cast on, using your weaving brushes

This is a 2nd type of cast on I have found extremely easy to do and easier that the 1st video I had uploaded a couple of years ago
That video had used a cast on comb from a Brother Knitting machine, which was not a standard accessory for the Singer machine.

You can use sewing machine oil or if you can find some gun oil, even better

Im looking at getting a 329 . Will these machines only knit 3ply and 4ply?

[@susanglaus4312]

You can knit 8 ply by using every 2nd needle

I’ve had nothing but trouble since I got my singer 321 knitting machine I’m working on replacing the needles at the moment but only now am I realising I don’t have the weaving brushes for the sinker plate I have managed to start knitting on my machine it’s when I get to a certain amount of rows that it has issues, is that because I don’t have the weaving brushes?

[@susanglaus4312]

The weaving brushes are just to cast on easily and then they need to be removed to carry on knitting. There could be many issues as to why you are having issues. Make sure your carriage is well oiled and all the parts moving properly. Maybe you need to put weights on your garment? Check needle latches are oiled. Is your mast tension or carriage tension okay? A number of things that can go wrong :)

@@susanglaus4312 I actually got a set of 50 needles to make sure it wasn’t the needles the problem is that they actually seem to be working much better now with those specific needles. however though I tried and thought they were the same needles they are not the same needles as were already on my machine in the begin. the butts on them are higher and the carriage makes a louder sound when it goes over them but other wise it goes over them smoothly, this has confused me as I now don’t know if I should be getting more of the new ones or trying to find the old ones? My machine is a singer memo-matic 321 would you know were I can buy the wright needles?
