I'm trying to help a friend out with her Brother Kx 395 convertible
knitting machine which is in bad need of a new sponge bar. Some years
ago we found one on an English site but nowadays nobody seems to sell
them anymore.

I'm pretty sure I got mine through Ileen Levy. http://www.ileen.com

If you're able to find one, I do have a tutorial up on my website for
how to get the sponge strip in easily.

Hi Marge, You are a life saver!! I have just posted a request on how to fit a sponge strip to an old Zippy 90...should have looked first! Your instructions look great and I will tell you if it works :-) I was told that the sponge strip that fits the LK150 also fits old Zippy90 and I managed to buy one form www.andeeknits.co.uk for about £6. Wish me luck!! Regards, Jenny

Hi Marge, We haven't actually spoken yet, but I would like to send you my enormous thanks for your instructions of how to fit a new sponge brake to my Zippy 90. I took note of all you said and have fitted my new sponge bar and refitted all the needles took me 1.25 hours, but well worth it! and I am pleased to say huge success!!!! My dear ole Zippy 90 is knitting like a new machine again and we are going to have lots of fun together like we used to in the old days :-)

I almost threw it in the dustbin, but kept searching for a sponge bar. Andee Knits told me it used the same as the LK150.

Thanks again and best regards. Jennifer.
