This video only shows how to cut out the sims to tighten the handle and gear dial. This video does not show how to take the Addi apart. See previous video that shows how to disassemble the Addi.
I made my pieces this morning, and my machine LOVES the fix. Thank you, Diane. I did not have plastic as thick as you used, so I made 3 circles from a milk carton, and used gorilla glue to hold them together :).
Thank you for this tutorial. My husband helped me do my Addi King Size last night and we will be doing my Addi Express next week. Very clear and easy to follow. My Addi turns better now than the day I tool it out of the box!
Thank you for the tutorial. I find that using a crafters scalpel or knife. works great. lay Plastic on a piece of wood or something knife will not hurt.😁
Would of been nice if you showed what it sounds like with yarn on the machine, how to take the machine apart to get to that point, and what it sounds like afterwards with yarn on.
Hi I enjoy your videos so very very much and it helped a lot but I try to put my machine back together and I forgot to mark where I took my needles out and can you make a video on how to put your needles back in if you don't remember where you took them out thank you I appreciate it so much or maybe your husband can figure it out
Have I question , I did everything u showed in the video, and I still hear the grinding sound. I also cleaned and lube it , is there and else that might help , it’s not as loud but it still grinds ... thank u
You will hear the normal gears moving, that is ok, is it skipping the gears when you are turning the handle. If it is still skipping gears and making that kind of sound, then maybe the fix inside with the aluminum is not tight enough, that would be my guess.
@@bettybooppeterson6370 test how tight the soda can fits around the gear before adding back the black piece. Test by turning the piece with your fingers like I did.
Do you grease around the aluminum shim at all? Also, I can’t find White Lithium grease but I have found a lithium LM grease2 NLGI 2, is that ok to use? It’s a caramel color.
That's a very hard plastic that you're making those discs out of. Do you think it would be easier cut out of an ice cream bucket top? Or would that not be slippery enough in use?
When I take the first two pieces off, the red and the black piece I have no problems. With them on it locks in panel knitting and won’t go around even when I change my switch. Please help
No because it would create too much static, something this machine tends to cause more problems with. Additionally, the fibers from salt would eventually clog up the gears using the same static electricity.
Hmmm, Well, it worked on not one but two of my Addis (-:. The Addi King and the Express. It will work and you will be happier with your machine after you fix this problem. Give it a try. When you take out the screws, use the correct Philips Screw drivers and press down hard when you are unscrewing the screws so the heads do not strip. I have taken the Addi King apart more than 6 times now. Gets easier each time. I took it apart to make the videos. (-:
