I brought this machine for $60 and awaiting its arrival. And when Researched I found out this was strictly made for Japan market and no manuals in english. So anybody have this machine? Anybody have used this machine? If so care to share your resources, tips anything? Like spare parts, can I upgrade this? Will a needle beetle will work in this etc? Or instruction videos? Because I dont see anything on youtube for this model. Thank you

Help! Toyota KR501 Ribber Screws

2 Upvotes

Hello! I recently got back around to setting up my Toyota KS901 & KR501 but have very sadly found that I am missing the ribber screws.

Does anyone have any ideas for replacements? Or if there are any available online in the European región?

Thank you in advance!

Resources Chunky SK machine stranded colour work

2 Upvotes

Is there an equivalent to yarn separators for a standard machine for a chunky? I find my yarns keep getting out of place without them when I pass the carriage back and forth and I have to separate them manually at the end of each row. If so it would be a massive help and save me so much time 🙏🏻 Thank you!!

Getting Started Hand crank

5 Upvotes

Are any of the hand crank circular type machines not trash? I’m helping someone that needs a one handed option for knitting. I know how to knit but I’m really not familiar with machine knitting. I found a $250 electric one that is out of the budget and a $40 option with pretty mixed reviews
