Thefabric is generally stronger, having two threads ; it is durable andit runs well, and if a yarn breaks the fabric does not leave theneedles as in single thread work. Cut Presser Work. Designing for the knitting machine isanalagous to designing for the loom. It is obvious from the fore-going that if four feeds and four different colored yarns are used,the fabric will be striped horizontally in a pattern containing thefour different colors, and this pattern will repeat itself at every 79 68 KNITTING. revolution of the cylinder. By increasing the number of feeds,the width of the pattern and the number of colors may be increased.From this and from the construction of the machine it is evidentthat changes in the yarn effect the fabric horizontally or across its

Suppose that thecylinder has 600 needles and the presser has 100 nicks ; then thepresser will revolve 6 times to one revolution of the cylinder.NoAV suppose one nick is filed deeper than the others so that theneedle which enters it is not pressed. Then every hundrethneedle will not be pressed, and at every turn of
