This saved me today - BUT HOW did you load the new sponge onto a sponge bar? What I ordered before today arrived with foam on one side and a black material on the other. No sticky backing. Help.
Hi. Thank you for the information. Where do I buy a new sponge bar? I have a singer 580. Its nearly the same as your machine. Could you send a link to buy a new sponge bar please. Regards Carol
@@carolcook8029 sorry, I’m not familiar with suppliers in Australia. Try googling for a Silver Reed supplier - there is someone called Susan Glaus who supplies parts. Or EBay.
Where do you buy new needle retainer bars like that? I have a vintage machine that uses the same type of needle retainer you've got, but I don't know where to get replacements. Thank you for your video, by the way. Very informative and helpful for newbies like me.
Thanks for the great video, do you happen to know off-hand if it is ok to store a knitting machine for a few months in its case without the sponge bar in? I have cleaned my KH 836 machine and sponge bar was flat and got a brand new one but would rather not install that incase it flattens again. Thanks
Just search in RU-vid for Pattern Knitting on a Silver Reed, and Knitting a Round Neck in Fairisle. These both cover the function of the side levers, and the Russell Levers
