If you are like me, you have always heard that the Brother Knitting Machine was the best there is and now it’s not made any more, or is it? In this article, we will reveal a couple of machines that are very similar to the Brother.

In my quest to find the next best thing, I found a machine that is actually the exact duplicate of Brother. So much so, that the Brother attachments will work perfectly on this machine. Meaning if you have a Brother machine and are looking for attachments to fit it, you will be able to get them. And, if you need to replace a Brother, the Brother attachments you have will not go to waste. You will be able to purchase this machine and your attachments will work flawlessly. This knitting machine is manufactured in China and distributed under the name of Artisan. The Artisan model numbers are the same as the Brother model numbers. This makes it easy for comparison of the two machines. It also makes it nice if you are looking for replacement parts or accessories.

Another machine I have found that is much like a Brother is a Taitexma. Taitexma is a Taiwanese company that manufactures in Taiwan as well as Mainland China. The Taitexma is very much like the Brother. They too use the same model numbers but have replaced the Brother letters KH and KR with TH and TR. I can’t say positively that this one is an exact duplicate but it is very close. At least some, if not all, of the Brother attachments will work with the Taitexma. Taitexma has been in business since 1989 and has been making flatbed machines since 2000. With their attitude of excellence in customer service, I believe this company will be around for a long time.

So, what do you do when you want a Brother Knitting Machine? You look to Artisan or Taitexma.
