Operating principle

Arrange and adjust the device so that each row is slightly shifted. The initial state is a half-step offset. Refueled in a kind of shuttle thread. The carrier bar has a side hook with a bend to the outside, for which the thread is fastened by the knot, after which the binding of each hook begins with a figure eight at the very base of the hook. In the opposite edge, the loop on the side is not captured, forming a neat sidewall.

The second row should be typed according to the principle of a snake, but not at the base, but at the apex of the denticle. It turned out on each side of two rows - the upper and lower. The outer side of the panel has a recess designed for the puller. Grabbing the bottom row, we throw it in the middle between the panels. Using the flat end of the removable panel, the beginning of the bonded fabric is pushed down. After such manipulation, the upper row is in place of the lower one. A new row is created by the snake, forming the next upper row. With the help of the puller, the bottom row again goes to the middle from both sides from the hooks.
