Braking value for yarn carrier 1A n = value for the left edge |
-9 ..0.. 9 |
Example:
yarn carriers are not properly positioned at the edge of their color field
- The yarn carrier at the left edge must be corrected towards its own color field: 0… -9
- The yarn carrier at the right edge must be corrected away from its color field: 0… 9
Behavior of the correction of braking values:
- Negative values move the yarn carrier nearer to the knitting area
- Positive values move the yarn carriers away from the knitting area
Result:
- The yarn carrier at the left edge is located at the left of the needle center:
- The yarn carrier at the right edge is located at the right of the needle center:
Loading a new pattern with EALL will not delete the existing braking values.
Therefore check the braking values or set them to the default values always after loading.
