MBI-S1342 has a 25.1 inch diameter, standard 13 gauges with variable gauges from 12 to 14, and 42 feeders for intarsia and 2 feeders for rib borders. Because it uses circular type, its needle cylinders rotate reciprocally back and forth, enabling detailed patterns such as vertical stripes, curves, and thin lines.

The machine also runs with the easy graphic design system based on Windows, so users can create their own design, save them to USB devices and load the design on the machine through the USB port. Once the design is loaded on the programme, the machine will automatically begin the knitting pattern.
