Singer LK100 vs LK150 knitting machine

[@maried3717]

I am glad you focused on the LK100 and LK150...I have both but there is not much instructions out there for what all can be done on them and MORE importantly...how to maintain them! Thank you...I subscribed

I don't know what the levers are on the sides of the LK100 carriage. They have springs on them and just spring right up into place when I press them. I don't see them labeled in the manual and have no idea what they are for. I'm aware that other knitting machines have these levers that click forward and switch between slipped and working stitches. I am so worried because my machine is not knitting at all. What am I missing? Please help.

which do you use more LK100 or LK 150? there is a LK150 on sale here and I have always wanted a knitting machine that isn't fine gauge,

Creative Tien, I found a Singer LK100 for $4.99 Canadian dollars at a thrift store and with a 30% off coupon it cost me virtually nothing. I am so lucky. The.only thing missing is the needle pusher and I can make one myself with cardboard. Your video is very informative and I thank you for posting it. If I find that the foam is not good can you tell me where I may buy some? Thank you and Happy Knitting!

That is an amazing deal. I get my parts from Ebay a lot. There is a shop at Ebay called: Leanneco Knitting. They are pretty reliable. Make sure you get the right size (for 9mm). Good luck with your machine.

Creative Tien thank you so much! Knitting machines are so great to own!

[@PictureHealer]

You are welcome. I love LK100 but the yarn holder on the carriage is not as easy to use as the standard yarn mast. You can find the yarn mast (ebay) for the standard 4.5mm machine and mounted on the table. It will make knitting easier too.

You may need to replace the sponge bar which can affect the hooks ability to slide back and forth correctly

Hi. Do you have a video on Making socks on the LK150

[@CreativeTien]

Yes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHnRlZqFrbqVjZI You can do a mock ribbing, ribbing on a standard gauge machine, or just hand knit the ribbing part.

I have never knitted before and never used one of these machines but I do know how to crochet. I'm thinking about buying the singer LK 140 on eBay $85. My question is does does the LK 140 it can you knit Cardigans and Sweaters with it? And another question is does it have different types of stitches or just one stitch?

[@CreativeTien]

LK140 is almost the same as LK150 except 140 stitches instead of 150 stitches. It should knit cardigans and sweaters fine. Depending on the size you need, you might need to do separate panels and stitch them up if the needle bed is not long enough. I think LK140 is a better deal than LK150 (usually around 400 USD and up). $85 is a great price.

I just saw this video - it was named Baby something or other. I wanted to see the difference between the 100 and the 150!
