A 1903 instructional article from Textile World Record explaining the three foundation weaves of textile design: plain weave, twills and satins. It describes how each is constructed on point paper, with diagrams linking weave notation to fabric cross-sections, covers 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-harness twills plus larger twills up to 24 harness, and gives a rule for building satin weaves using counters. It closes with a set of study questions and a recommendation of E. A. Posselt's Technology of Textile Design.
