An article from the first issue of Posselt's Textile Journal explaining how to design Jacquard figured dress goods in cotton, silk, worsted, mohair and union single-cloth structures. It works through a 90 x 112 texture example, covering the point paper ratio calculation, the choice of a 400 (8-row) Jacquard machine, reed and comberboard planning, repeat size of the sketch, and the point paper layout. A portion of the sketch is worked out as a point paper design with a 4-harness broken twill ground and filling-float figure.
