“Christmas is the time for snug hats, cosy gloves and warm
coats – yet you would be surprised at the beautiful, seductive textile hidden
under all this arctic clothing. When the wraps are off, something unexpected
may be revealed – as the example illustrated here shows,” says Karl Mayer.

 This festive lingerie
set comprises a halter-neck top and a pair of briefs made from the subtly
patterned fabric bands produced on an RSJ 4/1.
Ornamental effects and snaking tendrils form the central
theme of this romantic, lace-like pattern. The filigree motifs run towards two
wide, lengthwise stripes, which enclose a spotnet ground featuring a delicate
spotted look in the centre.

“The textile construction, which is reminiscent of the
Pointillism style of painting, attractively complements the simple net
construction that forms the background to the decorative effects. The edges of
the decorative bands run towards the Paisley patterns on the outside with their
stylised wavy shapes and flat border,” explains Karl Mayer.

Two of the fabric bands were sewn together horizontally to
produce the briefs and the body section of the top. With its high level of
stretch in the working direction, this clever textile guarantees an excellent
fit and lies smoothly against the body to provide a high degree of comfort.

The fabric was used in the crosswise direction in the bust
area of the top, and was processed to form gentle curves to match the body’s
anatomy.
This light and airy, lace-look lingerie fabric is the result
of the latest upgrade made to the RSJ 4/1 machine.

Most of the technical
modifications that were made to the machine relate to the way in which the
yarns are fed to the jacquard bars. This is now done from two warp beams
arranged as a mirror image, instead of being fed from just one yarn carrier as
used to be the case.

This separate feeding-in arrangement enables the jacquard
bars to carry out a counter movement – to work patterned net grounds, for
example.

“In addition to its obvious versatility, the RSJ 4/1 is
exceptionally efficient and offers a performance profile that will appeal to
lingerie manufacturers in particular,” Karl Mayer says.

According to the German company, the positive feedback at
ITMA 2011 clearly illustrated that the Rascheltronic, with its excellent
price-performance ratio, is generating a great deal of interest within the
sector. In Barcelona, the Rascheltronic was producing a lightweight apparel
fabric in a gauge of E 28 and at a working width of 130″.
