New 2024 training dates

The CREATE DESIGN software solution accelerates the entire development and design process for knitwear and therefore the workflow from idea to market launch. A set of sophisticated features ensures greater speed and efficiency, including a Shape & Grading function to support the creation of a knitting pattern and size sets, a toolkit for developing digital structures with a wide range of creative possibilities, a colour generator and flexible yarn creation options.

In addition, patterns and textures can be exported from CREATE DESIGN and imported into any 3D software. This makes it easy to create photorealistic images of fully knitted garments.

The many possibilities and advantages of the Game Changer solution have just been demonstrated at Munich Fabric Start and Pitti Filati. The presentations were received with great interest. "We were able to present CREATE DESIGN to numerous guests. Fashion and knitwear designers in particular had many questions and saw advantages for themselves. They particularly appreciated the ability to quickly develop design variations digitally without having to order prototypes straight away," says Goran Sidjimovski, who works as a Technical Designer for KM.ON and STOLL.

Anyone who wants to learn how to use CREATE DESIGN professionally in their day-to-day work can book an online course with Goran Sidjimovski as a trainer.

The training schedule for 2024 has just been published. The dates for the upcoming events are:

• - 28 and 29 February, deadline for registrations is 7 February 

• - 8 and 9 May, deadline for registrations is 17 April

• - 17 and 18 July, deadline for registrations is 23 June

• - 16 and 17 October, deadline for registrations is 25 September

Registrations are possible by informal e-mail at academy@kmon.net.

Goran Sidjimovski is looking forward to welcoming numerous participants: "CREATE DESIGN is very intuitive and easy to use. However, the courses make it easier to get started, especially for beginners," says the trainer.

Anyone who has attended the course can get started straight away.

KARL MAYER puts textiles centre stage

For KARL MAYER, textiles are much more than just materials – they express function, emotion and progress. And they are at the heart of its customers' activities. KARL MAYER is now focusing more than ever on its customers' needs and plans and therefore on the textiles made on its machines: WARP KNITS. At the upcoming ITMA ASIA + CITME, the company will demonstrate how textile solutions are providing new impetus in the categories of Fashion & Clothing and Technical Textiles.

STOLL in focus:

At the beginning of this year, KARL MAYER announced that it would be shifting its focus back to its core areas of warp knitting, warp preparation and technical textiles. As part of this strategic realignment, the flat knitting machine business under the STOLL brand will be discontinued. The Reutlingen plant will close down on 31 October 2025. Production in China will end in December 2025. This was an extremely difficult decision for KARL MAYER.
