I have recently been given a Singer 99K sewing machine along with a selection of feet. I have worked out that one is the binder foot, nd after playing about with it, can still not make it work. I was wondering if someone could either describe to me or point me to a site that will tell me how to ‘thread’ the fabric through the foot so that it will work.

I think, in fact, that i have two binder feet. One is small with just the part that looks like an icing piping nozzle. The other has this bit and also a longer piece which has metal prongs that point vertically upwards. Can anyone tell me what this is ? What is the difference between the two?

I have a pink Singer knitting machine and the instruction manual is gone. Is there anyway to get instructions on how to bind off and sew on. Please help!!

I need to know how to cast-on, bind off and switch from round to flat mode (it feels like the switch may be stuck) Thanks!!!!

I just bought a brand new Singer Knitting Machine. I used it just fine to make 2 scarves and while making the third my machine started binding up. Now the handle won’t turn at all, and the hooks pop up when the machine is turned over. When I bought it and was getting ready to try it out a woman I know came into the shop with her 2 boys, the older boy immediatly went to the machine and began cranking the handle real fast and hard. I didn’t say anything to him or his mother, I really wish I had but speaking up is very difficult for me because I think what ever I say will come out wrong and sound mean. Anyway I don’t know if the machine is just a cheap peice of crap or the kid messed it up by being to hard on it. I know that it is a toy, but regardless of whether or not it’s a toy it should not have broken after just a few uses. I’m trying to decide whether or not I should exchange it for a new one or just get my money back and look for a better brand. If I should get another brand what works best in your oppinion. Has anyone else had this problem with their Singer Knitting Machine?

- I am an avid knitter and I teach as well, I just wanted something I could use up my novelty yarn on that is quick and easy. I fell last week and I was odered not to knit by the doctor because I hurt both wrists and my left arm (I am left hand dominant), so I really need something to do – and I want to knit.
I do usually knit by hand, and as it says already I am unable to knit (by hand) because of a fall. I bought the machine to give me something to do without hurting myself more. I also got it so I can use up my novelty yarn, I am simply making a long tube. I can do very little knitting so I just do up ends in my own way, and I can a finished project without the extra strain.
