  • Silver Pile Rib Knitter

    Silver Pile Rib Knitter

    With such a seemingly strange name, Silver Pile Rib Knitter is simply a ribbing attachment. Although I have not tested one myself yet, it looks very similar to Silver Reed (also known as Singer and Studio) SRN-321 ribber, on which I wrote a detailed article already. Thus, Silver Pile Rib Knitter is compatible with the…

Thus, Brother was still figuring out how to construct a user-friendly ribber for hobbyists. I was a proud owner of a Brother KR321 ribber, that I tested in…
