Stoll M1+ Shaping & Fully Fashioned For Color Arrangements Programming for Beginners: Flat Knitting Technology for Stoll CMS Machinery

This manual written by Master Knit Engineer, Bruce Huffa, focuses on Color Arrangement (CA) programming of Stoll Electronic flat knitting machinery. It is a continuation of the Previous book “M1+ Tutorial Color Arrangements” and will focus on Full Fashioned Knitting or Knitted to Shape. Unlike the Stoll Method of loading a cutting pattern and overlaying it on top of the design. This book will show you how to calculate shapes and draw them directly ready for Color Arrangements to process. This method will demonstrate how making modifications can be easier than having to redraw a cutting pattern.

Understanding this approach gives the programming control to the user. Utilizing color arrangement (CA) knitting sequences along with a general understanding of the machine capability is an excellent method for users to develop and process more efficient knitting programs. A color arrangement (CA) is a compact knitting sequence created by the programmer. Each programmer can have his or her own style of creating CAs based on the types of products they make and how he or she prefers to knit. This book is based on the Stoll version 7.0.045. This book is a complement instruction book, rather than a basic introductory beginner course on how to program the M1+ and the use of all the different drawing tools available. This manual assumes general knowledge of M1+ tools, and a general understanding of knitting loop structures is required to use color arrangements. These chapters will show some of the basic tools used to create new CAs from a design picture for various stitch structures.
