Ribbons, Trimmings, Edgings, etc
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
One page from Posselt's Textile Journal (October 1911), part of a continuing series on ribbons, trimmings and edgings. It explains how curved and scalloped edges are woven in two-shuttle taffeta trimmings by running the figure filling around brass wires set in heddles and dents beside the fabric. It gives a point paper design and an interlacing analysis (Figs. 178-180), with a pick-by-pick description of how the loops are held, and mentions upholstery trimmings with loops and fringes. A short note on patented fancy trimming designs by C. S. King begins at the end.
