I just got a singer circular knitting machine and your tutorial is amazing and told me exactly how to make this thing work even though its a different machine
I have watched a dozen or so videos so far. The placement of your cameras helps a TON! Thank you for that! I have seen some folks mark or paint the top of the machine right next to the white pin so that it is always visible when winding. No surprises when that needle / pin pops up. Another note, the darning needles that come with the machine seem to be fat enough that it becomes a bit of a trick to pick up the stitches during the cast off process. I wish that they had thought of that when designing this machine. Lots of dropped stitches when casting off…. Great video, awesome explanation !!
Thank you so much for watching the video! I'm glad you found it helpful! Yes, marking it with a sharpie is helpful, but you can also tell by looking at the tail end of the yarn that hangs inside the machine. Thank you for all your support!
This is the BEST instructions I have found on casting on and casting off. Thank you so very much, I now know what I was doing wrong. Ty ty ty❤ your the best!! 😊
I am so glad you like it. I was really hoping the camera positions would help people understand. I know it took me a while to figure it out, and I could not find clear instructions out there, so I decided to make my own. I have more videos that I hope you enjoy, and I host a weekly live event on Saturdays at 12 pm EST. I hope you can join us. Thank you for all your support!
That makes me so happy! I am so glad I was able to help. Thank you so much for all your support. I hope you can join us for our Saturday Crafternoon live event at 12pm EST!
I am so glad this video was helpful for you! I tried to make it as simple as possible and clear shots so everyone would be able to follow along. I hope you enjoy this machine and make many projects.-Nancy❤️
@@GiftsHQ no you're really awesome everybody else complicated it like putting waste yarn and all that and I'm like no yours is so simple and it absolutely works
Thank you for the great camera work, it's fantastic to see the different angles which helps grasp the concepts of what you are teaching. I haven't checked out the whole of your channel yet, but I shall.
I am so glad you liked the camera work! I’m always trying to improve my techniques to help make my videos easier to understand. Thank you for all your support!
After trying 3 videos yours was the best i thought i would never get the hang of the machine you are wonderful i am 84 years old so anyone can do it if thay folow your video thank you
I'm glad it was helpful! Please reach out if you have any questions. I have a few other videos on how to make things, and I am sure you will like them. Hope you can join us for our live sessions on Saturday at 12 pm. EST. Thanks for all your support 😀
Wonderful! I am so glad it was helpful. Thank you so much for watching and all your support. I hope you enjoy some of my other videos and can join me during my Saturday Crafternoon live shows.
I’m having the same issue 🤔after I cast on and try to start my first row it wont catch under the pin. I’ve tried different ways to place the yarn before I try to start. Guess it has to be placed in xactly the right way. Also, if I get started ok, I get a stitch that has 2 strands in front. Not sure what I’m doing wrong🤔 don’t know if it’s explainable in writing. I’ve watched zillions of videos. If you have anything that might help, getting frustrated😔
@@karenschwalb4952 Hi Karen! Thanks for watching my video. I'm not sure if you're experiencing the same issue I once had, but it sounds familiar. Some time ago, I bought my first Sentro knitting machine. No matter what I tried, I kept getting "dropped stitches." When I showed this to my husband, he noticed that it happened consistently on the same pin (or needle) each time. He decided to take the Sentro apart and remove that specific needle. Upon comparing it to another needle, he discovered that it was slightly bent backward. Even though it was a new machine, these things sometimes happen and I couldn't return it at that point. My husband used a heat gun to carefully bend the needle back into the correct position. He used a template of a good needle drawn on card stock to guide him. After this fix, the machine no longer gave me any problems. The main point here is that regardless of how you cast on, the issue might not be with you but rather something as simple as a bent needle, which is an easy fix. Good needles can be purchased inexpensively on AliExpress (takes a much longer time to receive your purchase than Amazon, but on Amazon it costs more). Again, without seeing exactly what's happening with your situation, I can't be certain. But I can share what happened to me, and I hope this helps you or anyone else who might come across this. I too was once frustrated so I fully understand. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you fix this soon. - Nancy ❤
Thank you. I really try to get good angles so everyone can see exactly what they need to do. I do not have a video on making a panel, but I will put it on my list and will make one for you. Thank you again for all your support!
So hers my question for you… how much yarn makes how long of a scarf? I have 380 yards of yarn - how long of a scarf will that make? Is there some kind of calculation for that? Thanks so much great video BTW!
A typical scarf will need about 350 yards. It will also depend on the weight of the yarn. If you are using a sentro or addi, most people use a medium 4 weight.
Bonjour Merci beaucoup pour votre tutoriel avec caméra. J'apprécie beaucoup. Petites question s'il vous plaît Je viens d'acquérir la sentro 48 aiguilles et elle fait énormément du bruit et difficile à tourner la manivelle Que dois je faire J'ai utilisé une laine ce tricotan avec aiguilles/ crochet numéro 2/3,5mm Que dois faire pour choix de mes laines en numéro et pour que ma sentro ne fasse pas ce bruit et ne coince pas S'il vous plaît Merci beaucoup
Bonjour Marie ! Merci beaucoup pour vos aimables paroles à propos de mon tutoriel ! Je vous remercie d’avoir pris le temps de me contacter. Je suis désolée d’apprendre que vous rencontrez des difficultés avec votre Sentro 48. D’après ce que vous avez décrit, il semble que la laine que vous utilisez soit un peu trop fine. La laine qui fonctionne avec des aiguilles de 2/3,5 mm est considérée comme une laine de poids Super Fin #1. Selon mon expérience, la Sentro fonctionne mieux avec une laine de poids moyen (#4), qui utilise des aiguilles de taille 4,5 - 5,5 mm. Si votre machine est bruyante ou difficile à maniveller, cela peut indiquer un défaut. Si vous ne pouvez pas la retourner, je vous recommande de nettoyer la machine et d’appliquer un lubrifiant non à base de pétrole, comme de la graisse silicone. Assurez-vous également de vérifier s’il y a des obstructions, de maintenir une tension de fil constante, et de tourner la manivelle à un rythme modéré. J’espère que cela vous aidera, et je vous souhaite plein de succès dans vos projets ! - Nancy ❤️
@@GiftsHQ je vous remercie pour votre aide. Et votre rapidité de réponse que j'apprécie beaucoup. Je vais nettoyer et la lubrifié un peu Puis changer ma grosseur de laine Merci encore Je vous souhaite une excellente journée

I really hope you answer me because I'm really frustrated do I crank away from me or towards me I just got my machine today and I am having a really hard time I'm getting frustrated
@notyourgrammascrafts If you are left-handed like me, you will crank away from you. If right-handed, it will be towards you because the working yarn will be on the opposite side. Hope that helps.
I'm doing something wrong casting on.. I cast on one row, then when I start cranking the second row, the first row comes off. which way am I supposed to crank the handle???
Hi Donna! Thank you for watching my video! That's a great question. The truth is, technically, you can actually start on any pin you like! But the white pin is like a little helper reference marker. If you begin and end on the white pin, it means you've made one full loop around the machine in "tubular mode." When you follow patterns for circular knitting machines like Sentro or Addi, they might tell you to crank and knit a certain number of rows. Imagine making a cozy beanie hat for adults (which takes about 108-130 rows, depending on the yarn and how tight you knit). If you start and stop at the white pin, that counts as one row! Just keep cranking to the number of rows to finish your new masterpiece. Some machines, like the Sentro 40-pin, don't have a built-in row counter. Even the counter on a 48-pin Sentro might break and stop working. But no worries! If that happens, one can track the number of rows cranked. Watch the white pin make a full circle around the machine and count each time it comes back to where it started. Many circular machine knitters like using the white pin as a guide for tube knitting. If you want, you can technically pick another pin as your marker. Just remember to keep track of that specific pin. That's why the white pin is important, but it's up to you!

The machine works better when you use medium weight (4) yarn. Anything thicker can cause issues. Hope this helps! Thanks for your support!
Is there a way to prevent dropped and tucked stitches ?
Yes, there are a few tricks out there using dryer sheets, ear plugs, etc, and they work well!
I really hope you answer me because I'm really frustrated do I crank away from me or towards me I just got my machine today and I am having a really hard time I'm getting frustrated

@jeannylacey8026 You should be turning the handle clockwise.
Do i have to keep giving my skein slack? It seems so
Yes, and be careful with the tension. If you don't give it slack and it pulls too tight, it will show on your work.
If the white needle if the last pin why is that the first pin to add the yarn to? Sorry I am a newbie

No, it doesn't really matter since you will be going all the way around.
