| I bought a new top for my knitting table - A Plaank for Fraank |
 |
| I have a new piece of 44 needles to put into Fraank |
 |
| Turn him over and remove the last plate and end |
 |
| And snap the new section into place - it has a slot |
 |
| And put the end piece on and put the plates back and screw back into place |
 |
| I removed the centre screw and relocated the clamp to the end |
 |
| New needles and sponge, it's plastic is discoloured, but it works a charm. |

Yay! A longer bed with more needles! Perfect!;)
Oh yes. Daughter and I split one so we each have a longer machine. Perfect.
Hello,
Indeed happy to see that extending the kx-350 is possible. So, I can actually put two of them together?
I am a big gal and twice the length would mean that I could make an ample width panel for myself. So please tell me that this is possible. It would make my day! Thanks!

Yes they do go together. Get a long plank to put them onto and off you go.
Each machine has 3 panels of 44 needles that click together. You take both end pieces off and click them together. I use both carriages for different colours too.
All you need is a philips head screwdriver - and if you are in the US, it has to be a metric one.
It's very quick and easy to do. Good luck!

Thank you so much. I placed an offer on a KX-350. Let's hope I win.
I really appreciate your response because it means I can actually get to make something for ME!
Again thank you.

Thank you so much Lorna! I tried to post a comment but don't know if it actually went through.
I have placed an offer on a kx-350 and hopefully I will win. It be so awesome if I could actually make something for myself and my husband on a knitting machine. Like I said, I am not exactly a size 1. LOL I am the total opposite!
Again thank you!

Hello Lorna,
Well, I purchased a second KX-350!
I can't believe I won the bid for 106 dollars. Can't wait to receive it.
I have figured out that I can mount an extra long and wide wooden plank on a cheap ironing board. Then on the plank you can mount the knitting machine and on the other side a nice wooden swift.
Add a couple of hooks on the end and voila, I almost have a complete knitting center.
I am so excited that you provided this information. Thank you so much.
Ellen
that's wonderful, It works great. looking forward to seeing what your make.
Where did you get a longer sponge?
The sponge ends fold under so I didn't need a longer sponge. HTHs
Hello,
I know this is an old blog but I have scaled my machines down to just a KX350. I am looking at extending my machine and was wondering if a KH400 bed could be attached to a KX350 to extend it to a longer machine?
I think the 400 is a 4.5/9mm convertible machine - so no, you will need two convertible beds of any number.
