Step by Step to Pattern-1

  1. A pattern project with one pattern and the desired settings is created.
    1
    Work with the following drawing tools:

While drawing with drawing tools without the selection of a pattern color, a
selection is generated.
It can be deleted with the shortcut Ctrl+D.

  • Deleting all cursor attributes: Key ESC
  • Deleting of individual cursor attributes with X via the corresponding attribute

Delete Color

For drawing the design pattern, with it several yarn carriers may be necessary for each yarn color.

  • Bobbin with color
    Not used within design pattern
  • Bobbin with color +
    Used within design pattern

: Yarn carriers will not be allocated automatically to a yarn carrier rail.
Yarn carrier home position can be determined automatically.

    2
    Change the width and height of the pattern.
    3
    Draw-in colored stripes in any yarn color from row 27 at the height of 18 rows.
