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 Outils de dessin group.
    3
    In the Couleurs de dessin tool window select the desired pattern color from the Couleurs de fil color palette:
  • Couleur du magasin
    • : The yarn carriers are not automatically placed on the yarn carrier rails.
      The yarn carrier home position is determined in the Élaboration technique.
  • Couleurs techniques (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 Élaboration technique.
  • Couleurs des guide-fils
    • : Yarn carriers are automatically assigned to a yarn carrier rail and remain unchanged during the determination of the yarn carrier home position during the Élaboration technique.
  • Effacer la couleur
  • Couleurs de vanisage
  • Couleurs multi-système
    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 Changer de couleurs de guide-fils dialog box.

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 Guide-fil 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.

Explanation 'Border Processing':

The concept 'Border processing' describes the processing of the steps at the left / right border of a color area (edge) depending on the carriage stroke direction. The yarn carrier is positioned according to the shape for the following knitting row, with the help of the border processing.

  • For the Traitement du bord there are different technical modules available in the Knit Explorer.
    • Feed:
      The concept 'Feed' describes the positioning of a yarn carrier regarding the following knitting row of its own color field. For this, there are different options regarding the knitting technique.
  • Each color area can be edited differently at the left / at the right.
  • The modules are entered according to the carriage direction.

About the procedure based on the technical module for border processing at the right Cueillage, --v--, Traitement du bord

A

The information is entered 1 time each at the start and end of the knitting row

B

The information is entered x times according to the step width.

: The entire steps width minus 2x area width (A) minus preset under Allowed stepping without border processing at the right (C) = rest of the step width. This rest is now filled up with area width (B).

C

The information is entered x times according to the preset under Allowed stepping without border processing at the right.
