FIG. 337.

FIG. 338.

Figs. [337] and [338] show a design for a fabric of this description, the face pattern being a two and two twill, and the back plain. Before commencing to put the design on paper, it is best to make a section showing in what relative positions it is proposed to start the two patterns, and so enable the weaves to be placed in such positions that a satisfactory binding is possible.

FIG. 339.

[Fig. 339] shows how the binding may be effected by placing the two patterns in a certain position in relation to each other. The binding in this, as in the previous case, is made by passing a back pick over a face end.

The binding may also be made by lifting a back end over a face pick where the warp floats in the face cloth would cover it. A design illustrating this kind of binding is given at [Fig. 340]. The face pattern is a “four and four” twill and the back a two and two twill, and there are two threads of face to one of back. The two cloths are bound together by lifting the first back end on the first face pick where the binding dot comes between two warp floats. The full squares in the figure represent the face ends lifted; the small dots represent the back ends lifted; and the circles show all the face ends lifted on the back picks, which keep the two cloths quite separate. The cross on the first pick effects the binding.
