Contribute to StitchTechniques classification

You have an E6000 Passap or Pfaff knitting machine and you have appreciated the machine knitter's guide to creating fabrics; you can help enhance classification of several hundreds of BookStitchTechniques. Since those stitch techniques can be converted to other knitting machines this will greatly benefit to the community by making it easier to find stitch techniques and swatches corresponding to one's needs.
