Whether you're still searching or already have one gathering dust… 👀
A big thank you to for her comment: "The resources are great — it will be interesting to see what comes up, but for my stage I'd need a refresh on setting up the machine the correct way as a starting learning point."
You're not alone in that, Claire — and this guide is for you and every MkH member who hasn't set up a knitting machine before, or who just needs a little refresh.
It's designed to work alongside your manual and will take you from A to B in a simple, unfussy way. So....
Whether you're still searching for your perfect machine, haven't switched one on yet, or yours has been sitting in its case since goodness knows when — this post is for you.
Setting up a flatbed knitting machine for the first time (or the first time in a long time!) can feel a little overwhelming. Where does the yarn mast go? Which needles do what? What even is a tension dial?
The truth is, once you know your machine's key parts and have worked through the setup in the right order, it all starts to make a lot of sense. And that's exactly what we're here for.
I've just put together a step-by-step setup guide inside the Hub — covering everything from clamping your machine to the table, threading the yarn, understanding needle positions, and knitting your very first row. Calm, clear, and no experience assumed.
