is there a special way to knead mmf? im constantly struggling with air bubbles in and under the fondant? any tips would be greatly appreciated 
TIA
I've used a few different types of fondant, and always have air bubbles! I use a pin to prick the bubbles as soon as the fondant is on when it is still soft and pliable, then smooth the icing over again to get rid of the pin prick. Hope that helps!
I knead my fondant like dough. Folding it over itself than pressing down and away with the bottom of my palm. I can't stand those air bubbles I work so hard to get the icing as smooth as possible than end up with bubbles! Don't like the little pin pricks either! grrrr 
but I still like the look of fondant 
Thank you for the responses at least im not alone with all the stinking air bubbles in my mmf
Actually, you would want to wedge fondant like a potter wedges clay before putting it on a potters wheel. It is similar to kneading but it actually removes the air bubbles unlike kneading which adds air bubbles. Do a google search and look for directions or a video on wedging clay.
There are tons of horror story threads on here about people's KA burning up while making MMF....then again, some still use theirs.
If ya wanna take that chance 
I have never tried using my bread machine, I wouldn't. Its so quick doing it by hand now...I can whip up a batch in just a few minutes.
I hate cleanup and with MMF EVERYTHING has to be greased...so the less I have to grease up, the less I gotta clean when I'm done
