Jacquard Designing
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page article from Posselt's Textile Journal (November 1917) on satin motives used to distribute figures in Jacquard design. It explains how the motives are constructed by dividing a square according to the satin repeat, and describes eight diagrams (A-H) for the 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12-leaf satins. It explains why the 5, 8 and 10 bases are preferred, and why 6-leaf designs use a crow-foot twill motive instead. The page also begins a separate piece, "Novelty in Fabric Design" by M. W. Ryan, with a black and white floral/medallion design for cretonne.
