Abstract

In a textile machine including needles for forming a plurality of warp yarns into stitches and a guide bar for guiding the warp yarns to the needles, the guide bar is constructed to lay warp yarns in patterns without moving the entire guide bar by providing the guide bar with at least one guide block movable relative to a fixed point on the guide bar. Each of the guide blocks includes a respective guide for one or more warp yarns. At least one guide block is connected in a chain configuration to at least one distance altering element, and the distance altering element is controlled to variably alter the distance between the guide block and the fixed point.
