Step by Step to 'Pattern-12'

  1. A pattern project with one pattern and the desired settings is created.
    1
    To draw select any desired drawing tool under the Dessiner group.
    2
    In the Couleurs de dessin tool window, select the desired pattern colors from the Couleurs de fil color palette to draw the motif:
    3
    Draw the desired motif in the Dessin de conception.
    : The motif in the example begins in the third pattern row.

    In the Rangée du dessin control column, select the pattern rows 3 and 4.
    5
    Call up the context menu and select Sélection / Créer un Color Arrangement... .
  1. The Color Arrangement editor appears with the default CA.
    2. 6
    Make the desired changes in the Color Arrangement:

Color Arrangement CA1

Control Columns:

  • Presse W (weft yarn presser foot)
  • Presse E (knitting-in presser foot)

: These control columns can be used in the design pattern and in the Color Arrangement editor as well.

Control Column Presse W

1

Selection of the presser foot type mounted to the machine

Example:

  • Presser Foot Type 1: W1 (corresponds to the former W) = Presser foot with flat groove
  • Presser Foot Type 2: W2 = Presser foot with deep groove

2

Switch W presser foot on

  • Auto ()
    • The system automatically determines whether the front or rear presser foot is being used.
    • The W presser foot is marked by ?.
  • Devant (v)
  • Derrière (^)

: The weft yarn presser foot always works ahead of the knitting system

Control Column Presse E

1

Selection of the presser foot type mounted to the machine

2

Activate the E presser foot

  • Auto ()
    • The system automatically determines whether the front or rear presser foot is being used.
    • The E presser foot is marked by ?.
  • Devant (v)
  • Derrière (^)

: The weft yarn presser foot always works following the knitting system

System 1

The E presser foot is activated

Result:

The presser feet collide.

System 2

The W presser foot is activated

System 2

The E presser foot is activated

System 3

The W presser foot is activated

System 1

The E presser foot is activated

Result:

Presser foot collides with weft yarn carrier

System 2

W yarn carrier active

System 2

The E presser foot is activated

System 3

Weft yarn carrier active

Activating the Presser Feet

Attention!

Presser feet at front and rear must not be activated at the same time, otherwise they will collide.

These unallowed combinations will be detected by the technical processing and the processing will be canceled.

Needle actions for the weft yarn:

Needle Action

Meaning

The yarn carrier (weft yarn) runs before the knitting system with which transferring to the back over the weft yarn is performed.

The yarn carrier (weft yarn) runs before the knitting system with which transferring to the front over the weft yarn is performed.

The system that precedes the weft yarn transfers the stitches to the front. The yarn carrier (weft yarn) runs before the knitting system with which transferring to the back over the weft yarn is performed.

The system that precedes the weft yarn transfers the stitches to the rear. The yarn carrier (weft yarn) runs before the knitting system with which transferring to the front over the weft yarn is performed.

The yarn carrier (weft yarn) runs before the knitting system which raises needles of the front needle bed without a yarn carrier over the weft yarn. The front stitch is cast-off. In contrast to transferring, the opposite needle is not driven out for receiving.

The yarn carrier (weft yarn) runs before the knitting system which raises needles of the rear needle bed without a yarn carrier over the weft yarn. The rear stitch is cast-off. In contrast to transferring, the opposite needle is not driven out for receiving.

: These needle actions cannot be combined with the knitting needle action in the same knitting row.

Apply the symbols for the weft yarn in the Color Arrangement:

  • Insert a for the weft yarn carrier into the Décalage de vanisage (YPI) control column.

Symbol

Meaning

Possible definition for a yarn carrier as weft yarn carrier

  • In the Décalage de vanisage (YPI) control column
    • Open the control column of Dessin de conception.
    • In the Color Arrangement
  • In the plating color dialog box

: This yarn carrier runs with a defined distance before the knitting system.
For the Q yarn carrier the same command as for the split-stitch technique is used in Sintral

  • $XS n – m

: This command allows the driving of a yarn carrier in the knitting system when transferring.

    7
    Check the generated Color Arrangement on correct entries with the Vérifier button.
    : The knitting procedure cannot be checked!
    8
    Enter the generated Color Arrangement via the control column into the total pattern height of the design pattern.
    9
    Select the Coupes tab of the tool window and create a new shape.
    10
    Insert new shape lines in the table and enter the desired values for the basic shape.

Example: Lined shape for Pattern-12

Basic Shape: Front

: This shape contains no border processing (fading-out) for the autarkic shifting of the yarn carriers!!!

    11
    Allocate the desired attributes to the shape edges.
    12
    Position the shape on the Dessin de conception.
    13
    If necessary, make the desired settings in the Guide-fil tool window.
    14
    If desired, make the desired presets in the following control columns:
    15
    Carry out all the steps of processing.
