Abstract: A method and means for improving quality of terry fabric by controlling the position of terry loops as they are cleared on the needles. A special sinker actuating cam assembly is arranged to withdraw and then readvance the sinkers, after the terry loops have been drawn, to transfer these loops into their respective sinker throats prior to raising of the needles to clear height whereby clearance and subsequent avoidance of the terry loops by the needle latches are assured. Additional sinker cams for selectively changing the timing of sinker motion for bare needle makeup and, alternately, for knitting terry fabric, and for withdrawing the sinkers at the point of transfer are also disclosed.
