✔ Start simple
Begin with scarves or flat panels to learn tension, cast‑on, and basic stitches.
✔ Use recommended yarns
Check gauge charts — using the wrong yarn can cause loops or breakage.
✔ Practice tension control
Even tension makes for professional‑looking fabric.
✔ Keep tools clean
Lint and fluff build up — wipe needles and tracks regularly.
✔ Use online resources
Video tutorials make learning machine techniques much easier.
