Abstract
Stitch-pressing components, knitting machines with stitch-pressing components, and methods of manufacturing, integrating, and using the same. The stitch-pressing components herein can be configured to replace a yarn-feeder that is mounted on a rail of a knitting machine. This allows the stitch-pressing component to be shifted along the rail, and shifted between a raised position and a lowered position like the yarn-feeder, so that the stitch-pressing component can be used to press on yarn that is inlaid to form part of a knitted structure. The stitch-pressing components herein can be implemented in knitting machines to facilitate different stitch-pressing processes with limited cost, complexity, and modification to existing knitting machines.
