ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the fall plate fabrics, where stitching-like effects are created on the yarn surface. It explains the older cut presser technique. The chapter discusses the principle of creating of samples with pleating using an electronic beam control. One often used technique for making stitching-like effects on the warp knitting machine is the use of a fall plate. The fall plate technique extends the patterning possibilities with nice stitching like effects, where the yarn floats and remains connected only at the edges. The cut presser technique allows nice samples with shell or spot effects, but these techniques can be applied mainly on older generation machines with bearded needles. The individual control of the yarn beams allows perfect control of the yarn length and tension. The higher tension in some regions would lead to relaxation of their loops, making them shorter.
