The first lesson in a series on Jacquard designing from Posselt's Textile Journal, October 1907. It covers the training of a Jacquard designer: free hand drawing, sketching from woven fabrics, squaring-off with guide lines to copy, enlarge and reduce designs, brushing up outline sketches into solid forms, and studying nature and historical ornament. It also considers yarn, texture, weave and finish when planning a design, with attention to silk, cotton and lustre worsted or mohair. It ends with six practice questions on enlarging sketches and reproducing a repeat.
