Knit Solution

Your sample room might be your biggest hidden bottleneck.
Many factories still knit 3–4 physical samples before buyer approval — burning weeks, yarn, and machine hours on versions that get rejected on fit or design alone.
Root causes: limited 3D design adoption, programmers trained only on machine code (not virtual rendering), and buyers who don't yet trust digital approvals.
What works:
• Virtual sampling before the first physical knit
• Cross-training programmers in 3D + machine programming
• A validated swatch library for accurate renders
• Early buyer sign-off on virtual samples
• Tracking sample-to-approval time as a KPI
Fewer physical samples means faster approvals and less wasted yarn and machine time.
How many samples does it take your factory to get one approved?

5 Essential Checks Before Starting a New Knitting Program

A successful knitting program begins before the machine starts running.

Before developing a new SHIMA SEIKI program, I believe a programmer should carefully check five important areas:

1. Machine specification
Confirm the machine model, gauge, knitting width, available feeders, and special machine functions.

2. Yarn suitability
Check the yarn count, composition, elasticity, strength, and suitability for the selected gauge and structure.

3. Knitted structure
Review the stitch type, transfers, racking, jacquard, plating, shaping, and any technically difficult areas.

4. Product measurements
Make sure the measurements, stitch density, course density, and shrinkage allowances are properly considered.

5. Production feasibility
The program should not only create the required appearance. It should also support stable knitting, acceptable quality, reasonable production time, and minimum yarn waste.

From my experience, many production problems can be reduced when these points are discussed clearly between the programmer, sample team, machine operator, production team, and quality department before knitting begins.

Good programming is not only about creating machine data. It is about balancing design, quality, productivity, and machine capability.

What is the most important point you check before starting a new knitting program?
