This was not added by accident.
If you already use eKnitter — or you’re considering it —
this is why we added Super Short Row.
We added it while knitting a project like this dress.
On the original Brother machine, the next pattern row only advances after passing the middle, where the mechanical row counter sits.
We call this Classic Brother short row, and in most cases it works perfectly well.
But not for every project.
For the sleeves of this dress, moving the carriage all the way to the middle row counter just to advance the next row pulled the yarn away from the work and disturbed the tension while knitting the sleeves.
So we added Super Short Row.
With Super Short Row activated, the next row advances immediately when you change direction — no middle row counter pass needed.
We didn’t enable it by default because you need to get used it.
For classic short-row projects, Classic Brother short row still has clear advantages and should be used.
Not for every project.
But when shaping needs to start immediately and tension needs to stay even, it makes a real difference.
