An article from Posselt's Textile Journal (August 1917) on the principles of originating new textile designs. It covers the designer's need for variety in figure arrangement, the influence of yarn and fabric type on design, and the use of the square and other geometric bases as frameworks for repeating patterns. Five figures show square-based designs, including a key pattern, a floral design built from circles, and a damask tablecloth border. The scan ends with a short unrelated item on England's raw cotton situation.
