Michiana Machine Knitters Newsletter March General Meeting
will be held on At the home of Pam
Schulz. Please RSVP by calling "Twist Cables" Demonstration Tricia Shafer's "1/2 Twists" books will be available for purchase if you don't have this book and would like to add it to your knitting library <><><><><> Jackie shared the following notes from the G-Carriage class at "Spring Fling": Put super glue in the slots around the cord end that plugs into the g-carriage. Let dry for 24 hours. This will keep the cord from bending so much as it gets to the end of a row. Bending caused the wires inside to weaken and break. Turn g-carriage (regular and lace carriage) upside down and check to make sure nothing has attached itself to the magnets before putting on the machine. Do not use the rails when using the g-carriage. The g-carriage will not fall off even if you are using 200 stitches. When the carriage goes onto the rails it sometimes causes the patter to read wrong or will drop stitches when it comes back on the machine. When it goes off the machine to the rails it goes up and down and then down and up instead of a steady and smooth ride. Do not put anything on the end of the cord that plugs into the g-carriage. Some suggest an eraser, but it has bits of scrap inside and gets on the tip of the cord. Twist the cord about five inches from the end and insert in the coiled cord. <><><><><> Show-N-Tell
