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.
