We have a large assortment of sponge bars. Choose the size sponge bar (also known as needle retainer bar) that is suitable for your Brother machine. We also have the sponge bar for the Brother bulky gauge ribber.

 

If you would like to have a sponge bar in your ribber to hold the needles more firmly in place, choose the sponge bar that fits your main bed. For example, if you have a Brother standard gauge (4.5 mm) electronic knitting machine or 4.5mm punch card machine, the same sponge bar will also fit in the ribber replacing the plastic needle retainer bar. Using a sponge bar in the ribber is a popular option because the needles are more secure and won't slip down as easily. This does not apply to the Brother Bulky Ribber as it has its own sponge bar. It's shorter than the main bed sponge bar.

 

Please Note: The Brother Bulky Ribber has it's own special sponge bar which is a few inches shorter than the sponge bar for the main bed.

 

If you have any questions about which one to get, please contact us. We will be happy to help you choose the right sponge bar.
