Cotton Weaving and Designing / 6th Edition

by John T. Taylor

When the padding picks are being put in, the face cloth is all lifted, and the back cloth left down.

There are various other makes of quilts, of which the “Mitcheline” type is extensively manufactured. These fabrics are characterized by a raised figure of coarse texture upon a ground of comparatively fine texture. [Fig. 398] shows how this is effected.

FIG. 398.

Two systems each of warp and weft are used, the warp being drawn in the harness and reed as follows:—

one face end fine counts: (say white)

two figuring ends medium counts: (say brown).

The order of picking is—

two coarse figuring picks (white)

two fine ground picks (brown).
