From a very basic machine for volume production of standard fabrics, however, it is possible with the addition of extra sets of cams to knit a quite exceptional selection of fancy structures and colour fabrics including those with relief and damask or quilted fabrics.
The model PLE is capable of up to 6 colour reversible jacquards with one side incorporating the jacquard as a pile fabric. Piqué, fleece and honeycomb on the ground structure are other possibilities with double sided fabric that includes jacquard pile on the other side.
