2 color DBJ (double bed jacquard) keeps missing needles

2 color DBJ (double bed jacquard) keeps missing needles

Hi All-

I am knitting a 2 color dbj with birdseye backing, I knit a couple small 30x30 swatches and landed on the correct tension to use, but now once I am knitting my larger panel (186 needles), and after setting up my dbj and knitting the first 5 or 6 rows I keep getting the same issue in my knitting. The yarn I am actively knitting will start to get missed by the needles in the middle of the row, causing all active needles on back bed to drop. Can anyone advise what may be causing this and how I can avoid this to successfully knit my large DBJ panel? Thank you

(this is a brother kh970. My yarn size is 2/22 and tension is 2.1 (one click over 2) )

Help with 3 color Birdseye (DBJ) using IMG2TRACK

Hi All--

I am trying to knit a 3 color birdeseye back jacquard on my KH-970 for the first time. I have all the right parts, am able to load my 3 color artwork from IMG2TRACK onto my machine and set up as instructed in the instructions book (MC RIB and double length turned on). passing from left to right after FNR cast on tubular rows, i use KC I on carriage to select needles, and then release my program on machine starting on right side of bed, set up KC II and both carriages for DBJ (part/lili buttons etc.) and move to the left for first round. My console is telling me when to switch col 1, col 2, col 3, which i change color every 2 rows according to what my machine says (its not an even 11 22 33 color repeat, it varies) but when i cast off my pattern is mixed up with stripes. it seems the color/striping order must be incorrect? Or could it be due to MC RIB setting? It seems to be splitting each row to be only 2 colors each when in reality most rows have 3 colors in them…

See below images of my artwork and my knitdown. Does anyone know why this is happening? Or does anyone have clear instructions on how to succesffully knit 3 color birdseye jacquard? please help, thank you!!
