Will the machine you have take a ribber?

I honestly have no idea. It's 40+ years old now. Mom
bought it a few months before she died, and gave me her
older one. I actually used the older one quite a bit, but I
don't recall ever opening the box of the new one. It used
cards to create multi-colored patterns, I wasn't really
into that...

If so, you can
have your purl stitches, ribbing, and such. If it's a
Brother that will take a garter carriage, you can do it
on one bed, though it's slow.

My (admittedly poor) memory says it was a "Studio"? But
it's been a long time, I may be wrong about that.


Studio, a/k/a Singer, a/k/a Silver Reed with punchcard capabilities did/does accept a ribber, but it would have to be matched to the main bed, that is, the right model ribber. Fortunately, you can still find such things through the magic of the Internet. ;-) If a person were so inclined, which I suspect you may not be. If you ran into a machine knitter in your neck of the woods, and were infected with her/his enthusiasm, it could happen....
