I too fall asleep at the machine and like the form programmes to remind when to decrease, etc.<BR/><BR/>Regarding Journal Six, I have thought about spinning off the image processing and sketchbook into a separate program for non-E6000 users, but I hadn't really thought about doing a database only version. Interesting idea.<BR/><BR/>Congratulation on writing your own form programmes. Don't be shy about publishing them. I bet there are lots of other people who would be glad to have them.<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>Jenny.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13549417515701150120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848981186716112570.post-34918844625482898142009-03-02T02:39:00.000-06:002009-03-02T02:39:00.000-06:00Hi Jenny.I’m a former PASSAP M-201 knitter and hav...Hi Jenny.<BR/>I’m a former PASSAP M-201 knitter and have recently taking the plunge into a Pfaff duomatic. Along the duomatic came a form computer and the manual, but not the power supply, luckily I found one on ebay. It works fine. It’s not the console.<BR/><BR/>I have a grandmotherly interest in baby clothing and think the 5 patterns provided in the manual aren’t enough. I became very happy, when I found your article “Form Programmes Explained”; it really made me understand most of these cryptic lines for the form computer. Surprisingly most of the commands are working well with the form computer.<BR/><BR/>I’ve tried to transform some of my best patterns from a sketch to a form programme, and the instructions from the form computer seem to be exactly those I wanted. I still have some difficulties making a slit at the neckline. My programmes are not suitable for publication (yet), but I can manage.<BR/><BR/>I don’t think it’s worth the effort making a programme, if one only makes a single piece of knitting, but if you are making 6 identical tiny woolen undergarments, I find that a programme makes ones work a lot easier. I tend to dream along while I’m knitting and ooops, the piece of garment is suddenly twice as long as it’s supposed to be. This won’t happen using the form computer and a homemade programme.<BR/><BR/>Thank You very much for your effort.<BR/><BR/>Best regards<BR/><BR/>Bente<BR/><BR/>PS. Do you consider a Light Edition of Journal Six, only the database? Oldies (I learned programming back in 1965 at the Technical university of Denmark) like myself who hasn’t a console/E6000, can’t make much use of the designing part of Journal Six, although it looks very tempting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
