Second lesson in a serial course on jacquard design from Posselt's Textile Journal, November 1907. It discusses how fabric finish (especially napped fabrics) and commercial demand shape design choices, how to select designs for different fabric uses, and how jacquard machine capacity and harness tie-up limit the pattern. It also covers take-up and shrinkage in finishing, and how to prevent striping in all-over designs by sketching several repeats, illustrated with floral design figures (Figs. 4-7).
