Test swatch all new yarns even if you have used that brand before. Yarn brands are not totally consistent. Red heart from several years ago works great in my machine, but I got a couple of new skeins and they are stiffer, thicker and rougher than the older ones. My machine hates it!

Great tips!! I. just bought a knitting machine to use while being housebound due to having seizures. I am a sewer but I have not been able to due much of that since being diagnosed with epilepsy. Thanks for sharing some very useful tips and I would love to see one on creating designs. I generally sew purses but would love to knit some and then line with fabric. I used to hand knit but my hands tremor to much and I have RA so knitting by hand is pretty painful. Thanks again and blessings to you.

I use a lot of wooden clothespins. 1. I put one on the end of my yarn when I start casting on to help pull the yarn down. 2. After I have 6-7 rounds knitted I put 8 clothespins evenly spaced around the inside on my knitted tube. It helps pull the stitches downward also. 3. When changing colors I use one clothespin to hold the 2 ends of yarns together and down until I get enough rounds to tie them together loosely. 4. When casting off with a needle I put a clothespin on the yarn coming out of the last knitted stitch. After I have gotten about a third of the stitches off I can adjust it to include the knitted tube also. I think it helps to prevent the last knitted stitch from dropping off before you can put your needle through it.

Great tips. I’ve had the 48 needle Sentro for a while. A tip to help prevent ‘tucked’ stitches is to get a small spray bottle and fill with plain water. Spray at regular intervals one of the following. Either the outside of the yarn ball, or all round the inside of the knitting just below the needles or inside the yarn ball if you’re using centre pull ball. The water reduces static which I understand is a major cause of tucked stitches. Also using centre pull is beneficial. Either find the centre strand of the ball (sometimes a major pain to do!) or better still, get a wool winder and wind centre pull balls from your yarn skein/ball.

Thanks for these tips. I did some hats for the shoe boxs at Christmas and were appreciated. I SET UP on waste yarn, knit one row with crochet cotton of contrast colour. Then knit my hat to size. Ķnit one row with cotton yarn then waste yarn at least 8/10 rows. Note## I continued doing hats in this fashion until I had a funnell , maybe 8 or more hats to sew up and finish off. I also left a generous length of yarn after the end of each hat or project and used it on the double to finish the hat on the double, I know it was much stronger finish. Hope this hint helps.

#1 Sharpie mark, done! Re:moving around on the table. I had an old mirror in a plastic frame, cleaned it well, cleaned the suction cups, stuck it on the mirror surface and used a hand operated wood clamp to secure it to the edge of the table. That thing does not move. If your table needs protecting try the nonslip cabinet liner as a cushion. The counter is finicky but can be serviced easily. Turn your knitter upside down. Use the tiny screwdriver to remove the small plastic panel under the box and be very careful not to jostle it, all it is is a simple plastic gear mechanism. Dab some mineral oil onto the metal pin and gears to get rid of the friction between plastic pieces. Use an office clip on the end of your cast on yarn to help hold it below the pins in the beginning.

Thanks for the color-changing tip! Also I thought the white pin was the first pin so thanks for setting me straight. My tip #1: I screwed the feet of my 3 machines to wooden TV trays (there's a slot for the screw on the larger machines). There is a crossbar at the bottom on one side that I use as a footrest and this keeps the TV tray from moving as I crank. For my 22-needle machine, I bought one with the same colors as a Sentro without the logo that has big feet but no screw slot so I had to drill holes for the screws. It has a yarn feeder like the Addis but no tensioner. Tip #2: I have a 1/2-gallon jar that I put my yarn balls or cakes into. Tip #3: A ball winder is a time-saver! I just got the el cheapo (it was $17 on Amazon and came with pompom makers as a bonus). It works great! No more long pauses while I detangle yarn from skeins. Tip #4: I bought digital counters for my 40-needle Sentro and the 22-needle and they were very easy & quick to install. They're about $15 on Amazon and so far they're extremely accurate. Tip #5: Lube! I saw one KZitemr who uses Dritz sewing machine oil to add one small drop above each needle. I've been taking my machines apart to oil the needles with plastic-friendly grease but that is soooo time-consuming! Plus I worry that I'll strip those tiny screws from constantly removing them. I've ordered the Dritz so I can try it out. If that doesn't work, or if I find I still need to open the machines to do a more thorough clean-out from time to time, I plan to invest in some of those little screws so I can switch them out each time. (Make sure they're steel, not aluminum, so they come out easily with a magnetized screw driver.)

These are amazing tips! Once it warms up I'm gonna head to the thrift store to find a more permanent solution for my big machine since it's taken over my whole craft space right now. I LOVE my ball winder! I use a ton of the Pound of Love yarn from Lion Brand and trying to work with that without making smaller skeins is a nightmare. I need to get a new digital counter...I just ordered the Addi Express mini which has a counter (I'll be trying that out soon) but would love one for my Sentro 48. And lube!!! Yes, I just did a quick short on using sewing machine oil to help with sticky pins. I didn't take mine apart though just slowly cranked through and if the pin was sticky I added a drop of sewing machine oil. It works wonders! Thank you again for these amazing tips and for your support!

Red heart from years ago works for the 48pin machine. I tried to get some more because I ran out of the old skein and it is awful! The new skein is stiff and rough! Test all yarn, even if you have used it before. If it feels different in your hand, it will be different in your machine. I've been pushing down all of the stitches just so they don't get stuck and pop off all the time, but it really slows down my progress and at this rate I could just crochet the dumb thing. Sorry for the rant, just had a frustrating morning.

Hi Thank you for the tips! I have one too.... To prevent losing stitches... The 'claws' facing inwards.... The hook faces outwards pulling down making the stitch... the wool then passes over the 'claw' and the stitch is formed. However if the wool does not fall over the claw fully and fall under (staying up on the claw and why thicker wools are a pain) you loose a stitch... to combat this I run a left hand finger lightly over the end of the claw as the work goes around using the crank with my right to ensure the wool has fallen underneath it. I found this out on my third attempt using the machine and have never lost a stitch since.... I use the machine over my lap held by my thighs. This makes the machine secure and keeps both hands free to do this. Suction cups do not work on every surface. I have the 48 hook one. I love it. Does this tip work for you?

I’ve broke a few because I wasn’t paying attention to the dropped stitches and my yarn was then just too tight!

I'm not a knitter, nor do I sew? But I'd love to make scarfs and other fun crafts, would this be the one to buy? The sentro?

The Sentro is a great price point for starting out. If you are looking for scarves or stuffies a 32 mushroom house or above would be best. I love the Addi brand but the prices point is much higher.

After tip 4, will you still have loops on the edge to secure. Will the project unravel after you take out the ravel cord?

You need to secure all the stitches first or the whole thing will come undone.

Hey there, did you figure out the casting on process? The first 2 rows are the most critical. I could totally make you a quick video on how to do it if you still need it.
