Replacing the sponge bar on a Brother knitting machine | Fixing the most common knitting issues

If you've recently acquired a vintage knitting machine and it's dropping stitches or not knitting correctly, it probably needs a new sponge bar. Don't worry, it's something you can fix on your own on the cheap.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to replace the sponge bar on my 30 year old Brother 270 but this applies to all Brother knitting machines.
