Illustration of a Sketch

Outlining on □ paper—finished design and fabric sample. For single-cloth fabrics, as damasks, dressgoods, etc.

To give a clear illustration of the entire process from sketch to finished design, Figs. 89, 90, and 91 are designed. Fig. 92 showing the effect of the design on the fabric after being woven.

Fig. 89 represents a sketch for a fabric supposed to be executed with 80 warp-threads in one repeat; thus, if using 8 by 8 □ designing paper, (texture in this example supposed to be equal in filling and warp), the sketch must be divided and ruled off into eight parts each way.

Fig. 90 illustrates the sketch transferred to the □ designing paper. Fig. A represents the “drawing in outline.” Fig. B, the “outlining in squares.” Fig. 91, the complete design; and Fig. 92, the fabric sample.
