A two-page article from Posselt's Textile Journal (July 1912) explaining how to reconstruct a full Jacquard working design from a fabric sample showing only part of the pattern repeat. It covers sketching the sample on point paper, spotting mirrored figures, and calculating the repeat width in warp threads and length in picks. It also covers the number of Jacquard needles and cards needed, and the 4-harness satin setting of figures. The text then begins a section on adding weight and bulk to woolens and worsteds with back filling.
