The first part of an article from Posselt's Textile Journal on designing for Jacquard looms. It lists the factors a designer must weigh (cloth, pattern style, transfer to point paper, ground weave) and shows a silk brocade with two filling shades and a satin ground. It gives the cloth particulars, a point-paper method with colour-coded filling, and card-cutting instructions. The second page begins a short piece, "Rusty Silk," on brownish stain defects in silk ribbons traced to stained cocoons.
