Some of you may be lucky enough to own one of the Studio DL-1000 Linkers. Those of you who don't may some day get a chance to own one thru an estate sale. In any case, they are a desirable attribute to any knitting machine collection.
Those of you who are familiar with using the liner, are aware of the advantages. Some of them are: 1) it is much faster than hand seaming. 2) Most of the time, the same yarn that was used to knit the garment can be used to link the garment together. 3) Open stitches as well as bound off stitches can easily be dealt with. 4) A linked seam is a simple chain stitch which can be undone if you are not happy with it, sinply by undoing the last stitch and pulling the yarn tail. 5) The linker is great for attaching bands of any sort because it makes even stitches for a professional finish. 6) It can be used for decoraative purposes. 7) Stripes and patterns can easily be matched stitch by stitch. 8) The linker has measurement markers for stitches as well as centimeters. When you get a chance, try one. You will be hooked on finding one for yourself!
