Comparisons

As to the quality of Taitexma machines the facts speak for themselves. Not one Taitexma machine sold in the U.S. this year (2012) has been returned for a needed repair. The Rhode Island School of Design has been offering knitting machine classes for many years utilizing many different makes and models. They purchased 6 TH-860 standard gauge punchcard machines and 6 TR-850 ribbing attachments last year. They are evidently quite satisfied by both the quality and performance of these machines as they recently placed an order for 10 more units with ribbing attachments. ~Distributor of Taitexma Knitting Machines. The biggest difference between the 860 and the 868 is that the 860 has a smooth back rail like the old Brother KH860. The 868 has a notched rail so G carriages could run on it.

F.A.Q.

Will the Brother KL116 Knit Leader work on Taitexma TH860 or TH868, like it does on Brother KH860 or KH868??
 To answer your customers questions the TH868 is not equipped with either the slots to accept a knitleader or the finger to trigger it. Whether something can be rigged to do so I can't say. Whether the Taitexma is exactly like the old Brother model in feel and construction is subjectivism but in the 3 years I've been selling them I haven't had one come back for repair yet. Also, the Taitexma is available with a ribbing attachment which is a big plus. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Peter at Taitexma

Will all the Brother accessories I have for the Brother KH 890, such as ribber,
color changer, knit leader, intarsia carriage work with the TH 860 or TH868? Barbara C.
 Everything should work except a g carriage as the TH-860 has a smooth back rail without slots. Peter at Taitexma

Estimated ship date for future orders of TH-860 is March 28th 2019

Comments & Reviews

Julia H, Alamogordo, NM
I am very pleased that you carry knitting machines. This is not a product readily available. I have the Brother 260 bulky with the ribber and the mid-gauge Brother 350. Now I have the Taxiema (Brother) standard. Everything was easy. Thank you
