FIG. 334.
FIG. 335.
[Fig. 333] is the design for two separate plain cloths bound at both sides of the loom, and [Fig. 334] is the pattern for the cloths bound only at one side. The face and back cloths may be of different patterns, and bound together to form one thick fabric.
[Fig. 335] is a design for a double cloth with a two and two twill face and a plain back. The design is end and end, and pick and pick.
FIG. 336.
The binding of the two cloths together is a very important matter. It must be done in such a manner that the bindings are not visible on the face of the fabric. To find the best position for binding the two cloths together it is generally advisable to make a section showing the first two picks in the pattern, as at [Fig. 336]. A position can then be found for passing a back pick over a face end where the floats of weft in the face pattern will hide the binding. It will be seen that this can be done effectually by passing the back pick over the fourth face end, and so in the design the fourth face end is not lifted when the first back pick is being put in.
Sometimes the face cloth is required to be much finer than the back, and so there may be two face ends and two face picks to one back end and one back pick.
