Knitting machine tables: pros, cons and varieties

A knitting machine is a device that weaves yarns, thereby creating a fabric. Knitting devices are used both for production purposes and in everyday life. Thanks to the machine, you can get a wide variety of patterns - it all depends on the specific task of the person working on it.

If there is a desire to knit on a similar machine, then you need to think about all the details. One of the most important is the knitting machine table. There are requirements that you should adhere to when buying it. The main thing is that the person who is going to buy a table is comfortable working at it. Let's consider all the points in more detail.

Not every piece of furniture like a table is suitable for a knitting machine. It should not only fit into the decor of the room, but also be functional (for this, there should be drawers and shelves in it).

When choosing furniture, consider the following.

• Material. The table must be chosen from quality materials.
• Convenience... The yarn should come out through a special hole in the shelf from bottom to top. This helps to keep an eye on the thread coming off.
• Bobbins. The thread spool fits onto the hinged cover.
• Functionality. On a special table, you can work on both single-circuit and double-circuit models.
• Boxes... It is optimal if the model includes drawers and shelves. It is convenient to store all the necessary accessories for work in the compartments.
• Knot... The design of the table should include a retractable device.

The simplest model, reminiscent of a school desk. It lacks side and front walls, and the table top is flat.

Advantages:

• made of strong and reliable parts;
• the needlewoman protects her posture;
• all the necessary things and components are put into the boxes of this functional model.

The disadvantages include the cost of the product. The price sometimes reaches 40 thousand rubles, but only if the transformer model is made to order. The price of the simplest model starts from 3 thousand rubles.

The frame (Japanese model) is a four-legged structure on which the knitting machine is securely fixed.

• suitable for punch cards and electronic machines;
• the machine is securely attached to the model;
• rubber tips are provided on the structure, which reduces the vibration of the knitting machine;
• suitable for installing both single-circuit and double-circuit models.

The curbstone is a great option for a knitting machine table. Will like those who cares about the aesthetic side of space.

Advantages:

• fits the design of the room - all knitting accessories are "hidden" inside;
• when assembled, it looks like ordinary furniture;
• rests on rubber wheels - the chest of drawers can be moved in any direction, the floor surface will not be damaged;
• folds up quickly.

Disadvantages:

• not suitable for a small apartment;
• not very comfortable, suitable for those who rarely knit.

In conclusion, I would like to say that needlewomen who plan to knit regularly should be more careful about buying a knitting table.
