AboutCarol Forbes Expertise I can answer questions about machine knitting. I am familiar with most made-in-Japan machines, main beds and ribbers. I am most familiar with Studio and Brother. I am not familiar with Passap.
Experience I was a Studio and a Brother dealer for ten years in Wisconsin. I still knit and design every day.
Education/Credentials none but you can see my work on my website www.forbesknits.com
Question both carriages will go over empty needles separately, but when the connector is in place the carriage jams. I think that the problem is with the main bed carriage, any answers please? This machine was working perfectly when last used!
Answer The first thing I would double check is to see that the carriages are fully "seated". The next thing I would check is the retainer bar (sponge bar). The third thing I would check is that the ribber head (the silver arm)is properly mounted onto the main bed carriage. Hope this will solve the problem.
