That was a delightful video. I'm a product developer, so it was interesting for me to see your struggles and hear your impressions of your experience with the new machine. And I was really impressed with your editing, adding notes and insets and titles where it enhanced and clarified your explanation. Well done!

@sheepishlysharing 5 лет назад

What kind words to wake up to this morning! Thank you, Morgan! I'm afraid that's an older video and I'm happy to say my skills have improved since then. If you're still interested in seeing better reviews on these machines, here's a a newer video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rnGF0TJBnTc.html and for larger machines: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dJqx0jZrMvI.html

Dear Margaret, thanks for this video. I've been watching your vids for years now. Don't have an Addi, but recently remembered that I bought a toy machine at a thrift store. Dug it out and was pleased to discover that it was this new, improved Singer toy. Will keep watching to learn all I can before spending big $$ on an Addi. Thanks again for sharing your wealth of knowledge.

Thanks SO much for this! I just received my knitting machine (Amazon, under $20, exact same design and color as the Singer but sold under a different name) and followed along with your video as the English translation on the included instruction sheet was difficult to decipher. Works beautifully and will be perfect for making sock blanks. Oh, and mine does have a different color starting needle. Again, many thanks.

@sheepishlysharing 8 лет назад

+bonniecheuv OH! That's good to know! A different color starting needle is a plus! Thanks for sharing that info, Bonnie!

@cheerleadersquid165 7 лет назад

The knitting club at my school has one of these, and we usually make our scarves using the flat mode on the machine. They actually feel really nice while you're using them if they're secured down. We did that with a few pieces of duct tape. I think our teacher got one for $9 at Hobby Lobby with a coupon.

Margaret, thanks for once again providing an excellent tutorial/review! I have been collecting my Amazon gift cards so that I can buy the addi Pro. (I already have a Kingsize.) But, I'm going to go ahead and try this in the meantime. You continue to inspire us all to create beautiful things and we appreciate the time and effort that you put in to "sheepishly share". ;-)

@sheepishlysharing 9 лет назад

(Love your buddy in your profile picture!)

@tamarajones7260 8 лет назад

I really appreciate the way you communicate so clearly and with such kindness. You make your topics easy to understand. :-) Unfortunately for me, I seem to be stuck in the simpleton world of only being able to loom knit a hat or scarf. I cannot seem to remember any of the different stitches or how to follow a pattern, but I'm okay with that, for now. One day, something new will "click".

@sheepishlysharing 8 лет назад

+Tamara Jones Awww... thank you for the sweet words! I can't always remember stitches either. For example, no matter how many times I do a super stretchy knitted bind off, I have to look it up on RU-vid every time I need to do it!

@F1nddatruth 7 лет назад

I picked up this machine recently. For some reason I didn't look for review videos before buying. I think it works great for what it is, and in fact thank there may be something wrong with yours as mine works much smoother. Mine also came with the instructions, hook, and needle. Now it's time to look at your channel for some tutorials on how to finish things out because as you can imagine the instructions are not real great on that part nor do they tell you what kind of yarn to use. Thanks for the great video.

@sheepishlysharing 7 лет назад

I'm so glad to hear you got a good one! Inconsistent manufacturing may be one of the trade offs for cheap machines. Regardless, this design is MUCH improved over the last one!

@vashtilives2469 6 лет назад

My first thought watching this review is that there must have been a bunch of patents on the Addi machine that ran out, letting Singer use all of their much better designs. Thanks for putting this review up, I got curious about knitting machines a few days ago but I'm definitely not ready to shell out $100+ dollars for one, especially since for my purposes they look kind of limited. This machine might make make a good trial.

@sheepishlysharing 6 лет назад

If you're willing to sew panels together, they're not limited at all! Be sure to watch my FAQ video to learn more about these machines and remember that this one really is just a toy. It's a great way to get your feet wet with circular knitting but it really doesn't compare to the Addi machines. Be sure to adhere it to the table for the best results (Command Strips work well and won't damage the table.) Here's a link to my blog page that has just about everything I know about these machines on it! sheepishlysharing.com/circular-knitting-machines-useful-links-like-the-addi-express/

@kazaussieyarnaholic5503 4 года назад

Hey Margaret. A very interesting and informative video. It did look like the sunger was a little frustrating but i can't even imagine what the old one was like. Sticking with my loops and threads for the moment ☺🇦🇺

@johnbozzola4767 8 лет назад

Very interesting and useful review, Margaret Olander. A couple years ago, I purchased the Addi Express king size knitting machine from an online vendor. I never got it to work properly, no matter what type or size of yarn I used. I broke several of the needles, in fact, and purchased a kit to repair the machine. I completely disassembled the machine (not that big of a deal) and found the internal gears were of metal, unlike the exterior that is of plastic, and well lubricated with a white grease. I got the machine working properly, but the knitting was so unpredictable, that I returned the machine, along with the spare needles. I think I paid well over $300 for that piece of junk. The Singer machine looks to be of a similar quality, though the price is more appropriate for what you are getting. I may end up purchasing a Singer since you proved how well it can function. As a background: I have experience with all-metal, circular sock knitting machines (LeGare's and Gearhart's) so I have a feel for how a professional level machine should behave. The Addi is not a professional machine, it's just priced like one. I do appreciate your taking the time to make this very educational review. Thanks.

@sheepishlysharing 8 лет назад

+John Bozzola OOooooo.... a circular sock machine! I'd love to see that in person! Be sure to watch Erin (Gimmeyarn418)'s review/tips on the Singer (link in the description box of this video). When she adhered it to the table it made a huge difference in performance! I hate that you had such trouble with the Addi as my machines are great and have never given me trouble (knock on wood) however... I have a theory. I bought mine very early on. Once the "craze" caught on, I think they may have had problems with production quality as I do hear stories like yours every now and then. Glad you were able to return it.

@johnbozzola4767 8 лет назад

You may be right about the quality of the Addi falling off. I must praise the vendor, Nancy's Notions, for taking the machine back. Their purchase guarantee is excellent and I will continue purchase from them. I look forward to seeing all your other videos as they are quite informative. Happy New Year.

@barbaraw9155 9 лет назад

Aaah!! I am so excited to see and hear this video. I know its a far cry from an addi machine but cost wise it is right up my alley. ha ha. I have always wanted to donate hats or something to kids at schools or hospitals but my arthritic (RA) hands and managing 3 young kids does not allow me to get much done, much less donate a box full. This gives me hope that I can be more productive. Oh Miss Margaret, you have made my day!! I hope your day is just as wonderful.!!

@sheepishlysharing 9 лет назад

Barbara Marquez I feel the same way, Barbara, but we aware that this is the SMALL one and only makes preemie sized hats UNLESS you do some flat panels and sew them together. Have you watched the FAQs? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kq3j6fC4BP8.html I recommend the Innovations if you're in the market for a more affordable king size machine. (Not sure where to buy them or their current cost but a quick Google search can tell you.)

@barbaraw9155 9 лет назад

I did realize it was pretty small, maybe I should continue looking for the innovations. Decisions, decisions, I don't know what to do. Ha ha I will probably go out and get one. This will get me started. Thanks for your advice. Have a great day.

@KellysKraftwerk 7 лет назад

I just got one of these Singer machines and I learned that it does not like Red Heart Super Saver, but LOVES Caron Simply Soft and other thinner yarns. I have the loops and threads bigger one as well, and that one likes Red Heart, but doesn't like thinner yarns. I thought that was odd. I'm saving up to buy my addi's in the next few months! I love your videos! :)

@sheepishlysharing 7 лет назад

What's REALLY odd, Kelly, is that different people have different experiences with the same machines! Suzy (of the Facebook Group Addi King Loomers and Knits) says that each machine has it's own little personality! Ex: Red Heart Super Saver works great for some and not at all for others! Weird!

I was wanting a knitting machine to make sock blanks for gradient yarn. I watched the other video first (which was painful to watch towards the end,) and I was thinking I would just have to save up for a while to get the addi. Then I saw the link to this video at the end. I was about sold after seeing the decent product it made, and then you specifically said it would be great for sock blanks! Yay! Great review, it was EXACTLY what I was looking for! =)

@sheepishlysharing 9 лет назад

Rachael Washington Yay! I'm so glad! Their second incarnation is a huge improvement. Make sure you find something to make it stick to the table for a smother experience. (Erin used those removable hook sticker things.)

@rickstirling7045 8 лет назад

The yarn slipped in the feeder because you did not have the feeder fully closed for the first half of your work. ;-) That also caused the change in tension which was reflected in the finished piece.

@lindadaley7469 7 лет назад

I could see that the feeder wasn't closed properly right from the start also.

@staceymitchell275 9 лет назад

Thank you so much. I was considering getting my niece who is 7 one. I don't like toy versions that will frustrate a child to the point they never want a real one. I think for her 8th birthday the newer Singer might be fun for some doll clothes and stuffed toys. I started sewing with a toy sewing machine, maybe this will give her some interest in knitting.

@sheepishlysharing 9 лет назад

I'm so glad it was helpful! Be sure to adhere it to the table in some way as it seems to improve the overall experience. There is a link in the description box to a video of tips and tricks by Erin ***** that will give you a good, temporary option.

@YarnYenta247 9 лет назад

Thanks for the great review. I've been contemplating I like to knit and than felt which usually requires bulky or worsted double stranded. Seems like that wouldn't be a good option with the addi either. Oh well guess it's back to knitting needles.

@sheepishlysharing 9 лет назад

YarnYenta247 Even the fancy Addi machines won't take many bulky yarns however, you could get a bulky flatbed machine. That probably wouldn't fit your needs either since space is at a premium for you right now on your adventure!

I actually had been thinking about one of these products. the fabric you took off the machine doesn't look large enough for an adult hat. if there something else you would do to improve that.

@joannetait7985 8 лет назад

Nice video, thanks. Someone else may have mentioned this already, but the new Singer is also marketed as Smart Weaver on Amazon under two names (neither of which help me because they won't ship to Canada). But they are identical to the Singer machine, just different packaging.

@sheepishlysharing 8 лет назад

hmmm... someone did mention a different name but "Smart Weaver" doesn't sound familiar. Could there be THREE version of this machine?? Wow. Regardless... it's a much improved design!

@tinasmith3844 8 лет назад

I just purchased this item and I have made several items already. I have noticed several things: 1. it works much better when secured to a tabletop (I have a support that was built special for my large Addi machine). If you can mount it to a surface with a hole in it to let the knitting drop through it works really well. 2. If the knitting twists up under the machine, it tends to start dropping stitches. 3. If you hold your fingers of your left hand against the stitches on the inside of the tube it helps keep the stitches in place much better. I used both #3DK yarn and a tightly woven #4 and with care it worked really well. I would be happy to post photos of my knitting machine table if anyone is interested.

@sheepishlysharing 8 лет назад

@juliesaknitknut 9 лет назад

Great review thanks for sharing, if you put this machine on a non slip mat it might make it easier to control rather than it sliding all over the bench or you could glue some to the feet.

@sheepishlysharing 9 лет назад

Julie Greenfield Yes, and you could also raise the shorter leg with that method. Did you Erin's ***** tips and tricks video? She used Command adhesive and it was an excellent solution: no sliding; virtually permanent UNTIL you're ready to remove it!

@redfishy13 8 лет назад

After finding this video I decided to go out and buy one of these. I had a really hard time putting tension on my yarn while using the machine. I found that if I wrap my yarn (just once) around the back leg it gives me the tension I need without having to hold the yarn in me hand.

@sheepishlysharing 8 лет назад

+stephanie fish That's a great idea! Also, be sure to watch Erin's Tips video on this machine. (link in description box) She adhered it to the table with Command adhesive and the problem is solved! Works so much better!

@judyklinedinst1694 8 лет назад

Hi Margaret. I have the old type singer machine you first showed. It and this one also, has an issue with the gears slipping. That is what that odd noise is. I think that the way you are holding the yarn to the side is causing it to touch the side of the plastic yarn feeder and is not the right angle of attack for the yarn to feed properly in the feeder. That is the reason that it jumped out of the whole and also, why it is giving you an issue going around the second time to put the yarn on all needles. This also will cause irregular stitches. I don't mean to criticize, just trying to help. Did enjoy your demo. Judy K.

@sheepishlysharing 8 лет назад

+Judy Klinedinst No offence taken, Judy! I welcome new information especially when presented in a kind manner as you've done! That video is 2 years old and I confess to not having touched that machine since then. However, as I stated in that video, I know there are people (like you!) out there who find success with this machine so maybe I should revisit it trying your (and others') tips. Hmmm.... do I feel another video coming on???

@SilkDragonZen 7 лет назад

Thanks for the update. My interest in such.a machine is mainly that I want to make sock blanks for yarn-dyeing. Alas, the price for this machine has gone up to more than $25 by now on Amazon (regardless of seller), so I'll either have to wait for a sale or buy one of the identical-looking “knock-offs” (that are probably made in the exact same factory as the brand name Singer version).

@sheepishlysharing 7 лет назад

If all you want it for is sock blanks, it will do the job... especially with sock yarn. Important tip is to make sure it's affixed to the table in some way. (Command Adhesive strips work well.) However, remember that this is a fixed-gauge machine so the result you'll get is something like knitting fingering weight yarn with 6-7mm needles. $25 is not a bad price when you think about it in terms of the time you'll be saving. You may want to look at the NSI, too. (link in description box)

@SilkDragonZen 7 лет назад

Thanks! I ended up getting this and have just ordered my first undyed yarn from KnitPicks for making into a sock blank. Next I need to get the dyes I want from Dharma Trading Company, but first I need to get their acid-dye chart (since it'll likely be more accurate than my computer screen). When I've got everything together, I might video my progress (not sure, since it would involve a friend filming me, if he has time).

@diva9577 9 лет назад

I think this is much more worth it ! comparing the smaller addi price! even tho its fiddly. I will get this and just the larger addi thanks for the review! and I think I will get a second one and take it all apart if I can and see if there's a way to help it move smoother. it sounds like stuck gears due to tension or something well but I don't know how these work but it's like that in other machines like a ball winder

@sheepishlysharing 8 лет назад

There is a link in the description box to a video by Gimmeyarn418 where she shared some tips and tricks. We've since discovered that it works so much better when you affix it to the table in some way. The gears didn't seem to stick, it was more like the tension from the yarn that hung it up in places. Affixing it to the table seemed to help with even feeding, etc. It's SO MUCH BETTER than that old version!

@mariah-lc1kj 8 лет назад

+Margaret Olander (Sheepishly Sharing) oh awesome! I'll check it out!

@mandyo3625 6 лет назад

I do have to say this machine works well for a child's toy. I was watching for a really good coupon to try this out i didn't wanna buy something full price if it was gonna break. Jo'anns had a 55% off coupon so i took advantage i payed $20 for it the store is askin $39.99. Works really great with baby sport or baby light yarn. Worsted #4 kinda struggles. I dont understand how sooo many ppl have issues with this product. I do charity work for hospital NICUs and it makes the perfect preemie cap when the tube is doubled on itself(about 65 knitted rows). I made 3pairs of socks and 10 preemie caps within 2 days. Question is.....how long is it goin to last with constant usage!!!

@sheepishlysharing 6 лет назад

You asked the million dollar question... how long will it last?! We don't know but the good news is, if you have to buy another, you're still coming out ahead. 2 of these machines are still considerably cheaper than one Addi Express! (You can get them on Amazon for around $20 these days.)

@Deaette1 6 лет назад

My 8 year old grand daughter got both the singers this past Christmas. I got her the improved one at Home Goods for $15, and my mother in law got her the old one on clearance from Oliver's for $5. I found the old one to be a PITA. Every time the tension got tight it did that stripping sound and hard to turn. Dropped stitches all over ugh. Wanted to smash it on the floor lol. The improved one was still a PITA (pain in the a$$). Mine has a white needle that shows where to begin, it also has sticky black pads to stick on feet to grip the table. IT still moves all over and I found that not having a weight to pull it down was not handy. If you don't have a table with a hole in it, the yarn will start to wad up under it. I tried a few different types of yarn, but any that are fuzzy or thick, did not work. Any tension on it makes it sound like its stripping out. Was NOT impressed with either of them. They are toys as far as I am concerned. Anyone wanting to do quality work should not get one of these.

@sheepishlysharing 6 лет назад

You're right... they ARE toys. People are so eager to try circular knitting but either can't afford the Addi machines or are scared to make the investment in something they may not enjoy so I'm always on the lookout for cheaper options.

@dianemason3299 9 лет назад

Great video Margaret. very informative.

@johnwang9914 3 года назад

The old antique metal ones with metal needles and a weighted bonnet to control tension are much better. I think you can still get one with metal needles but without all the features of those old units. They still sell replacement metal needles though. Probably because industrial sock machined probably still use the same needles.

@anndennis7163 7 лет назад

The legs pop off of mine. the first rows are iffy, thank goodness I didn't get it for a kid or expect to knit anything but a tube that I could dye my white wool yarn to make the variegated yarn that is popular today. I've asked my husband to cut a hole in a piece of plywood so I can make my long tubes of yarn and I can add yarn weights to get it to keep moving down.

@sheepishlysharing 7 лет назад

Yes, making "sock blanks" is a popular use for this cheap machine! If you look through my Addi Playlist you'll see the little $20 tool bench I use so my yarn can drop down the middle.

@jacquelynbauer2036 6 лет назад

As far as the different color needles to delineate the first stitch....just put a drop of nail polish on the machine at first stitch needle and if you want you cando that for all the needles that match the Addi. I find the singer perfect for me. I could not spend $200.00 or more for a machine to do a craft on. I am on a fixed budget so the price does matter. But I will watch your videos to learn how to use my machine and get patterns. Thank You for sharing your talents.

@sheepishlysharing 6 лет назад

Excellent ideas! You certainly can do the same projects I’ve done on the Addi with this little machine! Have fun!!

@TooCuteToSell 5 лет назад

I always wanted to buy this! Thanks for reviewing! Besides hats what else can you make from this?

@clawdwolf16 5 лет назад

For me, I can make mittens/gloves, socks, arm warmers/childrens leg warmers, scarves, and even a blanket. I haven't made one of those yet, but you could make long panels and sew them together. Hoping to get one done before this upcoming fall/winter time.

@sheepishlysharing 5 лет назад

Thanks, Ash Ley! Before buying one you may want to watch the FAQ video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tq-67wstWoQ.html and I'll talk about what you can make with these things (there are different size machines, too.)

@littlemspd9674 9 лет назад

I am so impressed about you're updated review of the Singer knitting machine. I just placed my order to get one myself. Thank you so much for the positive update.. I didn't want to purchase until I viewed your video. Much appreciated! Question, with the 4 weight yard, do you think you had issues due to the machine not being clamp down and stable?

@sheepishlysharing 9 лет назад

So glad you could benefit from this review! I really am impressed with the improvements. YES you're right on the money with the #4 worsted weight. Look in the description box and you'll see a link to a video where Erin shares her experience with this machine. She affixes it to the table and #4 works like a charm! (Clever, easy affixing solution, too!)

@UrbanGypsyCrochet 9 лет назад

Good review. it's an option for those who are on a budget and cannot afford the Addi machine. Perhaps there is some way of clamping down the Singer as that is the main advantage of the Addi. The fact that it doesn't move about on the table as you are using it.

@sheepishlysharing 9 лет назад

Jan Carruthers Exactly! Clamping it down or even drilling it to a dedicated table would be very helpful.

@miamoss804 8 лет назад

Hey Margaret, Thanks for your tutorials! Can you increase or decrease in any of the machines? What if you just don't use all the little hooks? Or are you stuck with the size you buy? Thanks in advance!

@sheepishlysharing 8 лет назад

+Mia Moss Full disclosure: I've only used my machine for circular knitting projects. I don't enjoy making flat panels on it as I find it tedious. BUT you CAN increase and decrease on it if you're so inclined and many people do. Look for videos by Suzy (I think it's Suzy AddiKingLoomersandKnits). She also runs a Facebook group by that name, or rather, that long name.) In flat panel knitting you can use only as many hooks as you want but never just skip one or you'll drop that stitch.

@miamoss804 8 лет назад

+Margaret Olander (Sheepishly Sharing) Thank you!!

@geraldinebecher7702 6 лет назад

I like to try an inexpensive item first to be sure I won't lose interest. This is a good item to try out. Not sure how much you could make with those thin rolls.

@sheepishlysharing 6 лет назад

Very good idea, geraldine, to start with an inexpensive version first BUT just keep in mind that the better machines (Addi Express) are easier to work with. Use this to see the POTENTIAL in circular machine knitting keeping in mind that the cheaper machines can be frustrating. And by "thin rolls" I'm guessing you mean the tubes produced in circular mode. Remember that flat panels are also options. Sew them together for lots of options. I'm always amazed at what I see people create with these things! I have lots of novelty scarf options for the tubes in my tutorials. You can find just about everything I know about these machines here: sheepishlysharing.com/circular-knitting-machines-useful-links-like-the-addi-express/

@josiebreasbois2246 10 месяцев назад

Another thing you need to find a way to fasten it to the table or basically make it hold still so it doesn’t gag the machine and that’s another way of gagging the machine like because you got it you got a fasten it to the table there are some clamps that I may just like the Addys there and houseware

Thank you for the info,I heard someone say that you could use a #4 weight yarn or higher would be harder to do on the kid size knitting machine,but not sure about the Addi knitting machine. I'm having trouble finding the innovation knitting machine and the one you tested in your video is a lot easier to find,but it's the older mold. Ebay has some of both mold,the older mold and the newer mold as well as the Addi knitting machine. Also the how to book for the Addi knitting machine.

@jimmikeray 9 лет назад

Hi Margaret thanks for the review still haven't gotten an addi yet or any other brand wish Michaels would carry the addi machine but not yet so will probably have to get one online nice to see you and hope you are having a great day. Sharon

@sheepishlysharing 9 лет назад

Sharon Bucci You know, I don't think any of the big craft stores carry the Addi. Ordering it is your only option unless you live by one of the specialty stores that carry it.

@jimmikeray 9 лет назад

Margaret Olander Yeah the only store that I know carries it here is Mary Maxim so I guess if I want one I will go there and get one we have two of them here one in Paris, Ontario about two hours away and the other in London, Ontario about 3 hours from here so when I go there in the summer to visit my mom and son I will probably pick one up.

@theflamingpi 7 лет назад

Non-slip mat. Hardboard x2. Something heavy and thin (like several dozen washers or a sheet of metal smaller than the square formed by your machine's four feet), Rubber Washers x8. matching bolts and nuts x4. Hot glue. Drill. parchment paper. Drill holes in the four feet. Drill holes in the locations of the holes of the feet into the two pieces of hardboard. Put a screw with the head down and the shaft up through in each of the four holes in one sheet of hardboard. Put the weight material on top of the hardboard. Hot glue around the screws the same height as your weights. Put the next sheet of hardboard down. Hot glue between the two sheets of hard board to seal the edge. Two rubber washers around each screw. Put the machine on the screws. Bolt it down. Turn it upside down. Hot glue over each of the four feet. Turn over and press into parchment paper on a hard surface while the glue is still warm. Continue the previous two steps until you have a disc of hot glue covering the screw heads that is also approximately 2 inches in diameter. Set on a clean flat surface. Your machine will now give you fewer troubles and still be sort of portable. For better results, just bolt it to a table and throw portability out the window.

@sheepishlysharing 7 лет назад

Or... just put Command Adhesive Strips on the bottom of the legs!

@theflamingpi 7 лет назад

Or... C-Clamp the feet. Say what you will about my original comment; you have to admit it was overly complicated for the function it performed.

@sheepishlysharing 7 лет назад

It was brilliant!

@theflamingpi 7 лет назад

So, do you think I should get one of these for my mother for Christmas or would it be too frustrating for her? She's not very technically savvy.

@sheepishlysharing 7 лет назад

Not knowing your mother, it's really hard to say! If she does a lot of charity knitting and is patient (it's not smooth like the Addi and you have to coax it along), then she may like it. If she's never seen anything like this and it comes out of the blue, then no. It will be frustrating... although using only #3 yarn will help with that.

@felinab7200 7 лет назад

I know its been awhile since you have filmed this, but can you do a video on the cast off?

Hello Margaret, i am from Philippines its a tropical country so people here are not so fan of knitting or crochet. It is hard cause i have to order stuff from amazon and ask my God father from US to ship it here... Im a newbies, my Addi knitting machine (d new one)is coming maybe in d middle of Aug... Today im suppose to order this machine bt i change my mind after i saw this Thank u...

@sheepishlysharing 8 лет назад

Rose and John Kelly are friends from the Philippines who regularly comment here so you're not alone!! The Addi machines are far better than this one. After all, it's really a toy but for some who can't afford an Addi, it's a fun, inexpensive choice.

@3llevate 7 лет назад

Great review, thank you!

@sheepishlysharing 7 лет назад

You're welcome, Elle. The main thing I'd say about this machine (after having used it many more times) is to make sure you affix it to the table in some way. (Command Adhesive Strips work well and aren't permanent.) It's still nothing close to the Addi Express but you can get a usable product out of it!

@Ritercrazy 6 лет назад

Bought one very similar. 4 legs, pink legs and needles. 2nd hand and cheap.

@knittingnana2939 4 года назад

Hi margaret. I have a question about binding off . Couldnt you put the tip of a circular needle into the stitches instead of the yarn needle snd then when all the stitches are on the circular needle, you could bind off the normal way?

It's a good company to work with, huh! I have really enjoyed my Addies and you have been a big part of my being able to pick up on it so soon. After watching many of your instructional Addi videos.....many many times, I got mine in the mail and didn't look at any of the instructions. I just started knitting! Thank you thank you thank you! And God bless you Margaret

Thank you, Cookie! And no, I haven't heard that! I've seen where they're coming out with an iCord maker, though.

@RiverQueen86 8 лет назад

Hello Margaret, I have a question. I have been knitting for 15 years but am completely new to machine knitting. I bought this machine and I saw in another video how you said that to mark the starting needle, you switch to panel knitting on the side, then spin the handle until the machine stops and then you mark that as your first needle, which I have done. I'm fumbling A LOT through trying to knit flat! My question is, to mimic the addi's 3 black needles, which other 2 needles should I mark with a sharpie, the 2 to left or the 2 to the right? Or 1 on each side? Goodness, I hope that made sense! :) And I also want to say that I just LOVE your channel!

@sheepishlysharing 8 лет назад

Machine knitting is a whole new skill, isn't it, Erica?! Mark the 2 needles to the left of the first black one. Counter clockwise is the cast on row (and the standard direction for circular knitting as well). And for what it's worth, I don't have the patience for flat panel knitting (even on the Addi) so I leave that to others. 😜

@simraali5183 6 лет назад

@lifebyjojo 3 года назад

I had a Barbie knitting machine like this back in the day. I wonder how it would do in the line up...

@sumere2001 3 года назад

I can't afford the addi, so I have the singer version for now. Maybe santa will be nice this year. Anyway, when I crank it dry, with no yarn it turns for about 5 rows then starts sticking or jamming where it won't turn. However when I use yarn, any type it makes about 2 maybe 3 rows and just jams any suggestions? Mine is the one on the 4 legs. Even if I take the legs off and move it to the edge of the table it still jams up. Thank you

@sheepishlysharing 3 года назад

Oh, goodness... I have no help to offer. Singers are just little toy machines and I've learned the lighter the yarn, the better it works but you probably won't get the tighter gauge you're after.

@annettemiller6202 6 лет назад

I got the old singer knitting machine a while back, and it broke after about 5 minutes, so i'm hoping this is better! 😂

@sheepishlysharing 6 лет назад

I hope so, too, but remember these are designed to be toys! Just don't try to use heavy yarn and don't go too fast and this version should last you longer than that other one!

@leticiagarcia2159 6 лет назад

Dear Margaret, I purchase this singer machine right after you posted this video because I wanted to learn on how to use this machine, the very first thing that I did when I bought this machine is to put a drop of lubricant oil inside of every other needle then I started to knit, I did not like it at first because some of the stitches were to big or drop plus the yarn that I was using was not the one for this machine, for some reason it only likes red hart super saver, but still didn’t do much with this machine I was busy loom knitting dolls, am the one that ask you if it was possible to make the dolls on this machine that Denise from loomahat teaches on her tutorials and you did answer to my question, I learn how to use this machine and yesterday while watching this video I was on my second tube that am going to use to make the addi express pro pocket slippers from little john’s yarn tutorial, the tubes look to me like if the were made on the small addi!! I wish I can send you a picture of the tubes.

@SusanMcGarryGlass 7 лет назад

Thanks for the video. Very informative. On the box of the New Singer machine the little girl pictured is wearing a hat with stripes going up & down instead of around. Is that possible with this machine? I can't imagine how that was done.

@sheepishlysharing 7 лет назад

You're welcome! If you get this machine, just be sure to affix it to the table in some way for better performance. That hat could be done as a flat panels and seamed together. Actually, it would HAVE to be done this way since this small machine only makes a 3" diameter circle.

@luvmypup-_-6955 9 лет назад

Thank you, I have been using the addi machines but this is a more affordable options for some who just want to play a little . Question on addi, have you ever had yarn snag in same place over and over? Does this mean I need to change a needle on the addi?

@sheepishlysharing 9 лет назад

Liberty Daniels I haven't had that problem but I would suspect you're exactly right.

@didgeridork4890 7 лет назад

Hi this video was incredibly helpful! But I was wondering if you had a video on how to knit a flat panel on the singer machine? All the videos I'm finding are for the addi express which has different color needles to help with the process and I can't seem to transfer what I'm seeing in those videos to the Singer machine. I'm able to knit a tube fine but want to try the flat panel.

@sheepishlysharing 7 лет назад

No, I don't ever use this one since I have both Addi machines but you could color 3 of your needles and use the Addi videos! Sharpie will eventually wear off but fingernail polish would work well!

@SirenaSpades 2 года назад

You simply don't go the whole way around, and reverse the circle (go counter, and then clockwise, repeat until done. Do not go the whole way around. I don't recall if you may need to hand stitch when you go in the counter direction.

@NAMACN 9 лет назад

Would it be good for making gloves.

@sheepishlysharing 9 лет назад

@josiebreasbois2246 11 месяцев назад

@debbiefritts-boyce5118 6 лет назад

You can use any colour Magic Marker to colour three needles.

@sheepishlysharing 6 лет назад

Well, you can use a marker labeled "permanent" like a Sharpie or some other brand but eventually even that will wear off as the yarn continually passes over the top of the needles. It lasted me several months and then you have to re-mark it. Fingernail polish worked much better if you're looking for a longer-lasting option.

Something I've noticed for these kid marketed kits (from experience) is that not only are some things usually missing from the pack, but the instructions aren't really instructions. They barely tell you anything. You have to learn as you go along, which is a potential hazard if they expect kids to use this.

@cindylopes4081 5 лет назад

I am curious. Do you think I could make a pair of leg warmers from any of those machines for not too thin a pair of legs? That would hold well? Years ago I got a pair of leg warmers, does not compare to what they sell now which are small and thin and short. The pair I have is wide. Fits my leg comfortably and it's soft maybe it has to do with yarn probably but I can't find it out there anywhere a pair like that and they're long. They go over my knees. So I'm wondering if one of these machines I could use to make myself a pair of leg warmers? What do you think?

@sheepishlysharing 5 лет назад

Tough question! Sizing on these machines is best done with trial and error. The measurement of your leg, the yarn choice and the tension of the user all make a difference in the sizing.

@cindylopes4081 5 лет назад

That helps! ☺ I'm gonna give it a try and if all else fails, keep it for the grand children. Or other things hmmmm. Either way it will work out. Thank you 😁

@creationsbychristieb 8 лет назад

Thanks. I'm going through your playlist now. I see the only "difference" in the Addi, Innovations and Loops and Threads seem to be the number of needles. Loops one only has 40, Innovations 42 and Addi 46. I may get a sport weight ball and give it a go before returning it. I can't afford the Addi lol
