Excerpt from Design in Textile Fabrics
The rapid disappearance of the old apprentice system, the growth of large establishments, and the consequent subdivision of labour, accompanied by the ever-increasing demand for fabrics of a more artistic character to be applied to useful purposes, make it imperative upon the would-be designer or manufacturer to understand more fully than he has done in the_ past the principles upon which fabrics should be constructed, so as to fulfil all the necessary conditions. He must work on sound principles and leave nothing to chance.
The reader must not expect to go through this work in a hurried manner, or to thoroughly grasp all the details of the subject without further effort. Within the compass of this volume it is, of course, impossible to enter into all the particulars which would make the student at once perfectly conversant with the whole; but an effort has been made to-lay down the leading principles clearly and completely, and to guide the student generally, rather than to enter too closely into minor details, which can onlv be sufficiently mastered by actual practice in the mill or workshop.

Excerpt from Design in Textile Fabrics
In this manual an attempt has been made to place before the reader, as briefly and completely as possible, the principles of design in textile fabrics in its broadest sense, and to deal with the subject in such a manner as to combine with the question of decoration that of the proper structure of the cloth.
The practice of paying little or no attention to the proper structure of the fabric, and its suitability for the purposes to which it is to be applied in the arrangement of designs, is unfortunately far too common, and is the cause of a considerable waste of labour and expense in our manufacturing concerns. This may, perhaps, be to some extent due to the method of training those who are to be the designers, and also, to an even greater extent, to the fact that there has hitherto been no systematic treatment of the question. Most men engaged in the manufacture of textile fabrics have confined their attention to one branch, or to one class of goods, and have become proficient from practice only in that class. Their success has been entirely dependent upon the amount of attention they have paid to the particular class of fabrics they were engaged in manufacturing, or to the accuracy of their observations, and not to any - or, at the most, only to a slight - degree upon any systematic method or basis for their work.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the principles of design in textile fabrics, encompassing both their ornamentation and structure. The author emphasizes the significance of considering the intended use and purpose of fabrics when designing them, advocating for a holistic approach that balances aesthetics with utility. The book begins by examining the fundamental elements of textiles, such as threads, weaves, and textures. It then delves into various methods of fabric construction, including plain, twill, satin, double, gauze, and pile fabrics. Each technique is analyzed in terms of its advantages, disadvantages, and suitability for different applications. The author explores the relationship between the structure of a fabric and its properties, such as strength, warmth, and drape. Additionally, the book discusses the impact of yarn characteristics, including fiber type, twist, and thickness, on the overall quality and appearance of fabrics. Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and illustrations to clarify concepts and demonstrate the practical application of design principles. The insights gained from this book will empower designers, manufacturers, and consumers alike to make informed decisions about the selection and creation of textile fabrics that meet specific requirements and aesthetic preferences. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
