Hello ~ I'm Marge Parker, owner and designer for MKDesigner.com. Have you been searching for a Machine Knitting Tutor and cannot find one close to your location? Well, the Internet is such a marvelous tool that I've embraced the Distance Learning realm for machine knitting. I've had knitting machines for over 30 years and have been designing for 20+ of those years. My expertise is with the following machines that I have set up just about all the time:

• KnitKing Compu-Knit III ( same as Brother 930 - 4.5mm)
• Brother 890 Punchcard (4.5mm - metal bed)
• Brother 390 Convertible (Plastic Bed - 4.5mm & 9mm)

I rarely have my ribber up so I don't feel I have sufficient expertise with that to teach. I work mostly with single, flat-bed machines. I've been using the online format to tutor machine knitting since 1993 when I worked as an office manager for one of the local BBS's and had 4 techies right there to help me get acquainted with the Internet in its global infancy.

How do I teach online? Well, there are several options - telephone, email, instant messaging (i.e. Yahoo IM ~ MSN Instant Messenger), and in LIVE chats. If you are in the Reno / Sparks area, I can come to your home to help you with your machine knitting in the EXPANDED Tutoring Plan in lieu of telephone calls.

What plan is right for you? It depends on your machine knitting needs. If you want to try just a single week (7 calendar days) to see if we can get you through any of your machine knitting issues, that's fine with me. In fact, I recommend it prior to signing up for any monthly tutoring plan. You can start or stop the course whenever you wish. There's no 'contractual' obligation.

Please inquire about available days/times. I work part-time Mon-Fri but am available in the afternoons and evenings plus Saturdays. I only take on 3-4 students at any one time. Basic and Expanded service is available for anyone within the continental United States. I have a flat-rate long distance service. Only the BASIC plan is available for folks outside the continental United States.
