Two pages from The Textile Mercury's "Designing" column, continuing the series on sateens and their derivatives. The text covers 11-, 12-, 13-, 14-, 15- and 16-end sateens, with numbered designs (150-169) shown as grid diagrams, and the construction of a 48-thread check (Design 160) using the 12-end sateen in warp and weft twill sections. It also gives a fancy dress stripe on seven-shaft satin grounds and a six-shaft Zephyr Tartan with warp and weft color orders, yarn counts and setts. The first page also carries unrelated trade commentary on ramie and the linen tariff.
