I start with the knurl quite loose to establish a bit of a pattern and then tighten the clamp up to make the pattern deeper. The clamp has to be properly on top and bottom of the work otherwise it'll be pushed away from the work. Oil helps. Some people say you have to get the diameter right so there's an exact number of knurl patterns. I haven't found that to be the case.
