A 1898 English trade manual on designing and weaving decorative power-loom textiles, with illustrated chapters on pattern construction (drop, diaper, border and centre patterns) and ruled-paper (point paper) work. It describes the Jacquard machine and the manufacture of Brussels, Wilton, tapestry, ingrain and Axminster carpets, damasks and tapestry fabrics, scarf silks, ribbons, handkerchiefs, dress goods, mantle cloths, figured plush and bed quilts. Many chapters include weave drafts and loom illustrations, and the last chapter covers calico printing. The book ends with a publisher's catalogue of technical books.
