The machine compares the two yarn carrier home positions ("old-new").

So you can quickly see which yarn carriers can be taken over from the previous (old) pattern.

This way, you obtain an immediate overview:

  • which yarn carrier is also needed in the new pattern
  • which yarn carrier is newly added.
    This means that it must be mounted additionally on the machine.
  • which yarn carrier is no longer needed. If necessary, remove this yarn carrier from the machine (is that correct or is it kept?)

 

This yarn carrier is also needed in the new pattern.

 

This yarn carrier is newly added.

This means that it must be mounted additionally on the machine.

 

This yarn carrier is no longer needed.
If necessary, remove this yarn carrier from the machine (is that correct or is it kept?)
