Cotton Weaving and Designing / 6th Edition

by John T. Taylor

If the central dot is always placed in the correct position in each division, the figures may be turned round or placed in any direction.

The ground weave is a five-end satin, and care must always be taken, in designing, that the ends and picks in the pattern are a multiple of the ends and picks in the ground weave, or there will occur a broken pattern at the joining of each “repeat.”

FIG. 377.

[Fig. 377] is a small spot arranged in the order of a regular eight-end satin on sixteen ends and sixteen picks. In making this design the sixteen ends and picks divided into eight will give only two ends and picks for each division, so that if the central dot of the first spot is placed on the third pick, the centre of the next spot will come on the fifth pick, and so on.
