Step by Step to Training Pattern

    1
    Creating a pattern project with one pattern and the desired settings.
    2
    To draw select any desired drawing tool under the Drawing Tools group.
    3
    In the Pattern Colors tool window select the desired pattern color from the Yarn Colors color palette:
  • Magazine Colors
    • : The yarn carriers are not automatically placed on the yarn carrier rails.
      The yarn carrier home position is determined in the Technical Processing.
  • Technique Colors (do not use to create a design pattern)
    • : Yarn carriers are automatically placed on the yarn carrier rails due to STOLL default settings and are taken into account during the determination of the yarn carrier home position during the Technical Processing.
  • Yarn Carrier Colors
    • : Yarn carriers are automatically assigned to a yarn carrier rail and remain unchanged during the determination of the yarn carrier home position during the Technical Processing.
  • Delete Color
  • Plating Colors
  • Multiple System Colors
    For multi-system knitting

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.

For drawing the design pattern, with it one yarn carrier is used for each magazine color.

  • Magazine Color
    Not used within design pattern
  • Magazine Color +
    Used within design pattern

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

Recommendation!

Draw the design pattern by yarn colors or magazine colors in order to get common yarn carrier home positions (order related data) for all the pattern within the order.

For drawing the design pattern, with a yarn carrier already positioned on the corresponding rail for each yarn carrier color in use.

Result:
The yarn carrier home position is already specified when drawing with yarn carrier colors.

: You can change a yarn carrier home position by re-drawing with another yarn carrier color or by the Exchange Yarn Carrier Colors dialog box.

Technique Colors for creating or changing technical modules.

  • Starts
  • Picking-up after pressing-off
  • etc.
    4
    Draw the motif with the desired yarn color.

: When drawing the motif pay attention if necessary to even numbered heights of the color areas!

    Make the desired changes in the following groups:

Explanation 'Knitting-in':

The yarn carrier is at the fabric selvedge and must be brought into the fabric to knit at the beginning of its color field.

  • Default setting: Using Intarsia yarn carriers (swivelling)
  • To knit-in the yarn carriers there are different technical modules available in the Knit Explorer.
  • For knitting-in the yarn carriers from the fabric selvedge, the shortest distance (way) to the color field is always used by default.
    : Regarding the knitting technique, many options are available.
  • If there are various color areas of the same color available in the design pattern, then the yarn carrier is knitted-out at the end of the color area and then knitted-in again from its last position.

Example with the Knitting-in Float-Tuck, Binding Tuck technical module

Front Side of Fabric

Back Side of Fabric

Result: Knitting-in and knitting-out with tuck and float is only visible on the fabric back.

Direction of knitting-in yarn carriers:

The knitting-in direction of a yarn carrier is specified by the home position of the yarn carriers.

  • Yarn carrier is on the left side in the clamping and cutting device -> the yarn carrier is knitted from the left to the fabric selvedge.
  • Yarn carrier is on the right side in the clamping and cutting device -> the yarn carrier is knitted from the right to the fabric selvedge.

: The direction of knitting-in of a yarn carrier is always carried out from last position.

Two possibilities in the Yarn Carriers tool window:

  • In the magazine move the yarn carrier manually from 'undefined' to the desired side (left / right) of the magazine.

Automatic

Manually

Yarn carriers are positioned by default in the 'undefined' area in the magazine.

Result:
Yarn carriers are automatically placed on the yarn carrier rails during the technical processing and the yarn carrier home position is determined from it.

Rule:
The yarn carrier is placed on the side in the yarn carrier home position, where the yarn carrier has the shortest distance from their color field to the fabric selvedge.

Place the yarn carrier manually with LMB to the left or right in the magazine.

Result:
Yarn carriers are placed on the yarn carrier rails during the technical processing according to the positioning in the magazine. The yarn carrier home position is determined from it.

: The path for the knitting-in to the color field may be lengthened due to the manual moving.

  • Move the yarn carriers allocated to the yarn carrier rails to the desired rail side.
