An installment of Posselt's "Designing and Fabric Structure" series on double faced satins, from Posselt's Textile Journal, June 1911. It explains how two warp systems and one filling are combined so each side of the fabric shows a different color, with a rule for constructing the weaves and Figs. 1-16 covering 4- to 8-leaf satin combinations. It then shows how to produce checkerboard and spotted figured effects by exchanging face and back colors (Figs. 17-20), with warp dressing and repeat sizes. The second page also begins a continuation on producing figures in smooth ribbons (Figs. 167-169).
