1. An old stitch is hanging on the hook of a needle.
2. the needle is pushed forward by a Main and sub can. The fabric
is also carried for!,rard but is stopped by the Fabric Presser
and onty the needle is pushed forward getting its latch opened
by the stitch.
3. As the needle goes further forward, the stitch goes ove! and
behind the latch.
Yarn is fed on the hook of the needl-e through the Yarn Feealer
to form a new stitch.
the needle begins to move back as it is pushed by the other
Main cam.
As the needle goes back, the fabric pushes the latch causing
it to c1ose.

7. l,lhen the deedle is led further back, the latch closes on the
hook completely, confining the yarn under it.
8. when the neealle is back in its original position, the old stitch
slips frorn the hook, passing over the latch. (The Sinker Posts
serve to nake even the size of the sLitches.)
Now a new st]itch is on the needles.
