Illustration of a Sketch.

Fig. 89.

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. 90.

Fig. 91.

[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.
