Working with the plush device

Yarn quality

• No special motif thread (plush thread) is required.
• As a rule, the binding thread is thinner than the motif thread.

Yarn thickness

Final count [Nm] = binding thread + motif thread

Yarn tension

• Adjust the yarn tension for the binding thread somewhat higher than the tension for the motif thread.

Carriage Speed

Start with a somewhat lower carriage speed (e.g. 0.7 m/sec) and increase it step by step.
Standard value: 0.8 m/sec

If drop stitches appear, you must reduce the carriage speed.
The carriage speed depends on:

• the yarn properties
• the yarn tension
• the knitting pattern

Set up pattern on the machine

Execute the adjustment work carefully before starting the production.

If the binding thread tears during the production

We recommend:
Switch the needle selection off and re-start the fabric.
Reason: If the binding thread tears the needle latches are in an undefined state and can collide with the yarn carrier for the motif thread (damage of the needle latches).
