Brilliant machines. A pattern workflow from another era.
Mylar sheets, floppy disks, cartridges, and keypad input were clever solutions in their time. eKnitter keeps the magic of the machine and gives pattern transfer a modern path.
Old pattern transfer
Mylar sheets, floppy disks, cartridges, and manual input were once the bridge between idea and fabric.
A modern workflow for machines worth keeping.
Use digital pattern files, Wi-Fi transfer, and the eKnitter WebApp while keeping the Brother machine you already love.
From pattern file to knitted fabric.
Start with a digital pattern, adjust it in the browser, and send it wirelessly to your compatible Brother machine.
Digital patterns
Start with a PNG pattern file and prepare it for electronic knitting.
