This description of cloth is much used for other makes of goods as well as quilts. Kidderminster or Scotch carpets are woven on the same principle, and curtains, cotton vestings, &c., are frequently woven with the same texture. It can always be woven with a full harness mounting by preparing the design to suit it. [Fig. 161] is a pattern for a diagonal figure in plain texture for this class of work. The black squares represent the face warp raised to the face of the cloth, and the shaded squares represent the back warp raised to the face also. The blank squares represent weft on the face of the cloth. This would give a magnified view of the face of the cloth if it were woven with a black face warp, a grey back warp, and a white or light-coloured weft. If each warp had a weft of its own colour the effect would be as shown in [Fig. 162], which would be the way the pattern would be painted on the design paper if intended for weaving on looms specially mounted, or with special machines as described; but if a full harness is to be used, then the pattern must be spread over the design paper so as to give a line of the paper for each thread of warp and pick of weft. [Fig. 163] is the same pattern arranged in this way. The black and grey squares represent the face and back warp raised for the pattern. The crosses show where the back warp is raised for the texture of the back cloth at the back of the face cloth, and the dots represent the face warp raised for the texture where the face cloth goes behind the back cloth, or where the back cloth comes to the face. Of course, on a cloth of this kind the warps are alike, face and back.
