I made my pieces this morning, and my machine LOVES the fix. Thank you, Diane. I did not have plastic as thick as you used, so I made 3 circles from a milk carton, and used gorilla glue to hold them together :).
-
Thank you for slowly walking us through the disassembling of the Addi. With the shims, the machine is much improved.
-
Thank you for this tutorial. My husband helped me do my Addi King Size last night and we will be doing my Addi Express next week. Very clear and easy to follow. My Addi turns better now than the day I tool it out of the box!
-
a little grease on the winding shaft, under the shim would be a great minor addition the next time you clean the addi
-
I did mine with a pencil, bare down and then used a gel pen to go over the pencil mark. Worked great!!!
-
The CLEAR Dollar Tree place mats would work so good for this! !!!!
-
Great idea!! I will use a hole punch the right size and try this! Thank you!
-
Thank you for the tutorial. I find that using a crafters scalpel or knife. works great. lay Plastic on a piece of wood or something knife will not hurt.😁

To cut the plastic, put painters tape down and trace on it and cut then remove
-
Is there another video that shows the disassemble and reassembling of the Addi? That would have been helpful.
-
Thank you 😊 Very clever 😁👍

Interesting! I wonder if felt would work? Then someone could use a cutting machine (cricut, brother or silhouette ie)

Hi I enjoy your videos so very very much and it helped a lot but I try to put my machine back together and I forgot to mark where I took my needles out and can you make a video on how to put your needles back in if you don't remember where you took them out thank you I appreciate it so much or maybe your husband can figure it out

Do you grease around the aluminum shim at all? Also, I can’t find White Lithium grease but I have found a lithium LM grease2 NLGI 2, is that ok to use? It’s a caramel color.
-
Would of been nice if you showed what it sounds like with yarn on the machine, how to take the machine apart to get to that point, and what it sounds like afterwards with yarn on.

I have Created a file for the cricut. If anyone is interested DM me.

What brand of screwdrivers are you using is like they are magnetic. I see they are Philips heads. Tks Ann
