En fallegt!!

Youtube is always a great source to learn and see the machines in action, and there is a machineknitting subreddit where people are very helpful! It’s good to know what you will mainly be using the machine for before choosing the type since their strengths varies for different techniques.

I do love working on the old brother machines though, but you will need to be a bit handy, confident and creative about fixing and maintaining them!

This is a good question! Silverreed and brother work the same, just like most domestic knitting machines. I’ve never used a Silverreed myself, I can see it being better in the long run since it’s the only manufacturer that is still making machines so maintaining them and buying extra parts is easier
