  • SK120 garter bar

    A set of garter bars under the model name SK120 was made specifically for the 8 mm Silver Reed and Studio/Singer knitting machines with the same model name, SK120.

    Garter bars are used to transfer needles from one part of the main bed to another or to reverse the fabric.

    Brother KRC-800 color changer is identical to the Brother KRC-830 color changer. Thus, read a blog article I wrote on KRC-830.

  • Brother KHC800 color changer

    Brother KHC800 color changer

    It is very likely that Brother KHC-800 color changer was made for the Japanese market only as I could only find a manual written in Japanese and not in any other languages. The standard setup includes a sinker plate, the changer with four yarn change buttons, the knob for tightening the changer onto the arm,…
