THE BEST IS GETTING
EVEN BETTER.
M1 IS NOW M1PLUS®.
Stoll has been a synonym for flat knitting machines of the highest
quality for almost 135 years. This is especially due to the fact that we
have always reacted to the needs of our customers. For example, this is
how the world’s first mass-produced computer-controlled flat knitting
machines (1975) and the CMS Generation (1987) were developed. We
have also taken many suggestions from our customers and the market
demand into account in the continuing development of our established
pattern software. The result is an even more flexible pattern software
with even more influencing options for the programmer: M1plus®.
First, the most important news: With M1plus® you can continue work-
ing as usual. That also means that patterns from the preceding version
are absolutely compatible with the new version. But now with the
new Design Mode and new Arrangement Technology, we have made it
possible to complete a pattern even faster. In addition, we have reengi-
neered the menu guidance system, made operation even easier and
implemented new functions. Naturally, the program still supports you
with numerous built-in automatic functions, but you can also work
with it totally freely and flexibly. And fast creation of different sizes
for production is no problem with the M1plus®.
There are two ways to begin working out a pattern program: In the new
Design Mode or in the familiar Technical Mode. Starting programming
in the Design Mode has a special advantage: You only work with the
compact symbol view. No complex calculation processes take place in
the background during this. Also, at this stage you don’t have to worry
about whether the modules contained in the pattern fit together.
Therefore, you can first concentrate solely on your design and finish
it more quickly, even with the most complicated patterns. With this
method, module expansion and the separation of the intarsia rows take
place in a concluding step. After that, the fabric and technical views are
available to you. A big hit: All editing steps carried out can be saved
and reloaded anytime, forwards and backwards. Of course, you can still
also program with the M1plus® by beginning in the Technical Mode and
working with all available views there simultaneously.

AS MUCH SUPPORT AS NECESSARY,
AS MUCH FREEDOM AS POSSIBLE.
M1PLUS® IS YOUR PERFECT PARTNER.
M1plus® supports you – the way you want it to – with numerous automatic functions which relieve you of the programming of standard procedu-
res. However, it also always enables you to individually influence it. The best examples for this are the two editors “Module Arrangement” and
“Color Arrangement”, as well as the new “Drawing with Yarn Carrier Colors”. With these, you can determine the ideal path to the finished knitting
programs completely based on your own vision.

THE PRINCIPLE IS
SIMPLE: THE BEST
OF EVERYTHING.
Shaper
The “Shaper” is a shape design program with which you can generate
shapes and also easily and quickly carry out graduations. These
shapes can then also be transferred to the M1plus® using a specially
developed interface.
Designer
The “Designer” package is ideal for pattern drafting. It transforms
your drafts into machine rows. And it simplifies the arrangement
of each pattern area using various functions, for example rotating,
mirroring, copying and automatic repeat.
It’s always our goal to offer you the best of everything. And looking
for competent partners who perfectly complement our range of
products is a part of this. Therefore, we are cooperating with ENEAS
Informatica for the M1plus®. This cooperation is exclusive and unique
for the flat knitting sector.
