I know I've caused myself probs going from full tuck across the row to doing lace tuck with needles out of work and forgetting to go from KCI to KCII.mrs ferrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222836402958868367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331179779167664895.post-24277010362248960872013-01-10T11:32:17.397-08:002013-01-10T11:32:17.397-08:00I was going to mentioned having sufficient weight,...I was going to mentioned having sufficient weight, but Steel Breeze has beat me to it. <br /><br />It would be interesting to see if it happens with a different/similar yarn.<br /><br />Are the needles/latches in good shape? <br /> <br />Is there any build up of fluff? - suggest removing the needle retainer bar and cleaning/vacuuming. <br /><br />Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04928925279359369355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331179779167664895.post-47296305095285130142013-01-10T06:26:24.076-08:002013-01-10T06:26:24.076-08:00If I remember right, on a Brother machine, she sho...If I remember right, on a Brother machine, she should pull all of the non-isolated stitches out to "D" or "E" position every row and then they should knit.
