Top: Place the sock top on the cross stretch arms centering the fabric across the arm fingers (Figure 19). Hold the remaining fabric so it does not produce any drag on the measured fabric (Figure 20). Release the trip lever (Figure 12). Record the reading from the display when the weight travel has stopped (Figure 13, 21). Lift the bottom weight carriage until it locks back in place at the top position (Figure 14).
Leg: Place the sock on the cross stretch arms going through the top until the middle of the leg is across the arm fingers (Figure 22). Hold the remaining fabric so it does not produce any drag on the measured fabric (Figure 23). Release the trip lever (Figure 12). Record the reading from the display when the weight travel has stopped (Figure 13). Lift the bottom weight carriage until it locks back in place at the top position (Figure 14).
Foot: For a finished sock or a machine closed toe greige sock, cut the toe out of the sock (Figure 24). Place the sock on the cross stretch arms going through the toe until the middle of the foot is across the arm fingers (Figure 25). Hold the remaining fabric so it does not produce any drag on the measured fabric (Figure 26). Release the trip lever (Figure 12). Record the reading from the display when the weight travel has stopped (Figure 13). Lift the bottom weight carriage until it locks back in place at the top position (Figure 14).
