🧶 Fashion Design Studio Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Whitaker - Independent Designer & Artisan
"As a small-batch designer, I needed a machine that could handle both fine-gauge scarves and chunky winter knits. The 3-5-7 multi-gauge capability on the Advanced Model delivers exactly that. The interface is intuitive, and the precision in pattern replication is unmatched for custom orders."

🏭 Textile Factory Manager Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Li Wei - Operations Director, Horizon Textiles
"We integrated the Pro Model into our production line last year. The 72-inch flat knitting width and +30% automation have significantly boosted output. Setup was complex at first—required two weeks of technician training—but now it runs smoothly with minimal downtime."

🧣 Accessory Production Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amina Diallo - Founder, Thread & Hue (Boutique Brand)
"I use the Base Model for limited-run accessories—scarves, beanies, and decorative fabric panels. The 52-inch width is perfect for smaller batches, and the ability to switch between 3gg and 14gg lets me experiment freely. It’s like having a digital loom for fashion storytelling."

🧥 Sweater Manufacturing Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Tomas Novak - Production Lead, Alpine Knits
"We’re producing high-end flat-knit sweaters for European brands, and this machine handles the intricate cable patterns and fine merino wool with ease. The CE and ETL certifications gave us an edge during our compliance audit. Only downside: maintenance must be scheduled rigorously to avoid tension drift."
