How do you take down a row of knitting?
There are two main ways to undo a row of knitting: tinking and frogging. The term "tink" is "knit" spelled backwards. In this technique, each stitch is undone one stitch at a time. Insert the tip of the left needle front-to-back into the center of the stitch just below the first stitch on the right needle. Drop the first stitch on the right needle and gently tug the working yarn so the loop of the unwanted stitch is pulled out. Repeat with each individual stitch to the point where things first went wrong. The second technique, "frogging," is generally used when more than one row of knitting must be ripped out. It's called "frogging," because "rip-it, rip-it" is the sound a frog makes. It is faster than tinking which is both good and bad. It doesn't take long to frog but it is easy to go too far. Simply drop all the stitches off the needle and pull the working yarn until all the offending rows are gone. Then re-thread the needle through the remaining live stitches. A little pre-planning can make frogging safer. Find the row you wish to rip back to and carefully insert the left needle into the stitch of the last row you wish to keep. Always insert the needle starting with the left most stitch and always insert it from the front to the back. This will orient the stitches on the needle normally so that none are accidentally twisted when knitting is resumed. Another technique for controlled frogging involves inserting a "safety line." When you have completed a row that is correct, thread a piece of scrap thread through each stitch without removing the stitches from the needle. Use a very smooth thread, such as mercerized crochet cotton in a contrasting color.

How do you do a seed stitch in knitting?
Moss Stitch (or Seed Stitch) can be worked over either an odd or even number of stithes and you simply repeat the same two stitches to achieve the look. If working over an odd number of stitches: Knit 1 stitch, Purl 1 stitch and repeat this across the row for every row This will create a "broken rib". If working over even stitches however you must alternate the rows to achieve the same look. Row 1: Knit 1 Stitch, Purl 1 Stitch across the row Row 2: Purl 1 Stitch, Knit 1 Stitch across the row You will repeat these two rows in order to get the same look as if you were working on an off number of stitches.

Why does your needle keep breaking when you free motion quilt on your Designer SE?
The most common cause of needle breaks while free-motion quilting is moving the fabric while the needle is still in the fabric. This is a very fine line, and only improves with practice. Usually directions will tell you to stitch at a very fast speed. However, I find that fast stitching doesn't give the machine time to make a good stitch. It might look good on the right side, but look at the underneath side and you'll usually see that the bobbin thread is laying on the fabric and is just looped around the top thread. If that's what you're seeing you can bet that the stitching will not be there very long. My method of choice is to set the machine for free-motion stitching by only lowering the feed-teeth. I use the little metal foot that looks like a horseshoe, it requires removing the ankle and attaches with the screw. As you stitch, it should move up and down with the needle. When the needle goes down, the foot goes down to hold the fabric for the stitch to form. Generally, I'll use a titanium needle because they stay sharper longer. I also set the speed to the slowest or one click up. Keep your foot on the foot control, but you're not going to use it to stitch. When you're ready to begin stitching, touch the "start" button and let the machine go at it's own pace. It will start slow, but picks up speed after just a few stitches. When you want to stop, just tap the foot control and it will stop stitching. Be sure your needle is set to stop in the down position. I have used this method for years -- I love whoever put the automatic stitching and speed controls on the Vikings! I've also taught many classes and the ladies were successful with the free-motion. Practice, practice, practice!!
