Split Stitch Help

Hi All,

 

looking for any support to split stitches. I have been playing with them today to try and tidy up a transition to an interlock stitch at the end of a garment but in my testing the machine doesn't like it. 

I have attached a screen shot of the design app and a photo of the result. 

 

Any help would be really appreciated.

 

Thanks

  Hi Laurence, 

  have you tried to see what happens if you don't use the split stitch and go directly to the interlock?  Does that not work well?

  Can you tell at what moment the yarn broke? Do you think there was a lot of tension in the split stitches with the 0.5 rack?

  Hi Ariadna Pons

  When I go straight to the interlock stitches it creates small eyelets at the end of the jersey so isn't as nice a transition as I want. 

  I have done some more testing and it seems to have issues with multiple split stitches next to each other. On the slip stitch row it crates lots of kicks and doesn't really perform the expected stitches. Ive tried doing 2 roes and alternating them but that doesn't work either.  If I do them a few stitches apart it seems to work. So not sure how to set it up. 

  Ive decided to remove them all together and reduce the stitch size at the last jersey row to reduce the size of the eyelets but this is a compromise.
