Article from Posselt's Textile Journal on welts (cords), piqués, toilet cloth, quiltings and bed spreads. It first covers imitation effects in single cloth (pointed twills, basket-weave figured effects), then explains welt construction with face and back warp and wadding picks. Includes numbered weave diagrams (Figs. 1-42), a fabric calculation for a 40-inch cotton welt (reed, take-up, yarn counts, material weights), and cross-section diagrams of welt fabrics. The scan ends with the start of a following article on skip twills.
