An 1868 German handbook, the eighth section of the Deutsche Webschule, on designing patterns (Musterzeichnen) for Jacquard weaving, written for manufacturers and weavers. The text explains point-paper (Patronenpapier) ratios such as 8 auf 8, how to sketch designs, enlarge them onto the grid and paint them, and how to choose warp and weft density for a 400-hook machine with 12-gang harness. It also covers ground and figure bindings (plain weave, twill, satin), satin and twill shading, warp-setting schedules (Scheerzettel) with silk, wool and twist threads, and brocaded weft. About 35 engraved plates carry point-paper types, sketches and pattern charts for dress goods, furnishing fabrics, shawls, and borders, along with weave drawdowns.
