[Fig. XLIII.] illustrates the margin arranged 8 threads for each row, and 5 rows or 40 threads for each side. The selvedge in this drawing is illustrated by one complete row of 12 double threads for each side. The selvedge and margin holes are all represented shaded. The selvedge is marked S in addition to the number. The five margin rows are indicated each by figures 1 to 8. The nearest row of border is also represented, being numbered 401 to 412, corresponding to [Fig. XLI.] This method of using only 8 rows of the 12-row deep comber-board is extensively used in fabrics of a common texture, employing an 8 harness satin for the margin as weave, which repeats once for each row in comber-board. Besides, a great advantage results from being able to tie-up 8 leashes threaded 8 rows deep in comber-board to the 8 hooks in 1 row of the machine, which the weave calls for.

[Fig. XLIV.] and [Fig. XLV.] represent designs for fabrics executed on this method of tying-up.
[Fig. XLIV.]—A to B = border, C the centre.
B to D = margin, between centre and border.
D to E = 1 repeat of the centre, 6 times over in width of fabric.
