Operating Switch Kit



Flat Knitting Switch– The switch that flips to change your machine from working in the round to knitting flat! This may be one of the more challenging parts on your machine to replace if you’ve never taken apart your machine, because it rests in the middle of the body.

A quick fix could be to use tape to change the position of the switch.
