Often it is said that it takes too long to manufacture fine gauge whole garment flat knitting technology compared with circular knitted fabric that are cut and sewed. In the whole garment flat knitting technology the garment is ready-made directly in the knitting machine.
Any suggestions for an investigation of this problem?
Consider SPEED, YIELD, QUALITY, COST and WASTE. Changeover from one style and/or size to another.
Dear Nancy,
Thank you for your answer and suggestions. I will go to Japan for two month, Shinshu University as a guest researcher. My plan is to try to get the opportunity to knit for my project at Shima in Wakayama. We don´t have the right gauge for this test at the University of Borås. I will ask for more suggestions and advice when the project start.
Kind regards,
Joel Peterson
Hello, Joel.
Did we meet at an Autex meeting in the past? Shima is bringing a new machine and system here to the college in a few weeks. It will be installed here for a limited time. Open to invited industry guests on Feb 18 & 19th

Hi Nancy,
Yes we met at the Autex conference in Raleigh in 2006. Good to hear that you have a good collaboration with Shima. We also have a new small Shima for knitting accesories and some Stoll CMS machines, one of them a Knit & Wear machine.
