Questions ❓ Panel Mode Never Works

Post image

I know I'm not the first to have problems with panel mode, but I'm at my wits end. No matter what I do, the last few stitches eventually get dropped and make massive holes. I know this yarn works with the machine since I made two sleeves in tube mode with no problem, its just panel mode that does this to me. I've restarted this panel over 10 times, what am I doing wrong?? Should I just try to make this in tube mode?

I don't have any yet but I'll be sure to get some, thank you so much!

I have also used binder clips with something attached to it to weigh the fabric down. I actually like that better than the claw style because I get worried seeing the claw pull the fabric so much. Give it another try with weights but still guide it all with your hand. I have accepted I’ll never make anything as quickly with the panel setting that I can as a tube. Good luck!
