CHAPTER 3 : HOW TO OBTAIN A CORRECT STITCH ?
1. TENSIONS
Tensions should be adjusted very accurately.
 If too high : the yarns will influence the material in such way that it will gather and
the layers of material will be shifting. At high speed the yarn may break.
 If too low : Faulty stitches will be produced and a gathering of the yarn loops
around the looper will occur.
2. NEEDLE YARN
In order to form a correct stitch, the point of the looper has to pick up the loop formed
by the spreader when the needle is at its lowest point. The size of this loop can be
increased by placing the yarn guide A from Fig 5, higher in the holder C. The loop
will be reduced when the guide A is placed lower. The optimal distance between the
threader B and the yarn guide A is +/- 38 mm when the needle is its lowest dead
point.
