I decided to whip up a few lace scarves and thought I would sit at my Brother electronic standard tonight to get gauge, size and pattern ready to go for tomorrow.
Not sure what the heck happened but each pattern I programmed gave me the same design. Being that I don't normally do this type of lace (I prefer FNR lace for scarves with ultra fine yarn) thought maybe I am doing something really out of whack.
So, I actually pulled out the instruction manual from the machine (I felt like a rookie again) and followed along as a beginner using the step by step instructions. Same thing happened.....I tried my dial on N-L, KCl & KCll thinking that would fix it....NOT. Interesting when I set the carriage dial on N-L per the Brother manual, I get stockinette.
Has this ever happened to you? Maybe I should go back to my FNR scarves?
Perhaps I am just too tired from two very long days at work...here is my mess for the night.

Unplug everything and give your machine and yourself a rest. :-) Sometimes, a power surge or variation in current, can mess with electronics. Good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteI do not have an electronic machine but I know that we have had a lot off electronic equipment fried by power surges even though we have power surge power bars for everything. Hope you got it sorted Tom.
