![]() ![]() Now you are ready to click the OK button to generate the jacquard weave out of the image and weaves in the Jacquard conversion window. We think this procedure is faster than saving each individual weave and then loading them into Jacquard conversion. But you can create these two twill weaves faster with the weave-editor tools in the Jacquard conversion window.įollowing diagram shows how you do both weaves by using keyboard shortcut for 4 by 4 weave, then four different tools from the toolbox in the bottom right corner and copy/paste with a single right-click. If you have created weaves already, select Chose weaves > Browse, and load weaves from the weave browser. Click the first color (black) below the image in the Jacquard conversion window. ![]() You should now load one weave for each color. You can enter numbers in the warp and weft boxes, or increase the X (multiply by) number to 4 (it will multiply the size 72 by 4). The most convenient way is to do it directly in the jacquard conversion window. The motif (weave), which you have drawn, is now a 72×72 two-color image in the Jacquard conversion window.Īs we found at the beginning of this tutorial, the size of fabric’s repeat is 288×288, so you must scale the image to this size. Open the Jacquard conversion window using Weave > Jacquard conversion from the ArahWeave’s main menu, and select Tools > Paste (or press Ctrl+V) in the menu of the Jacquard conversion window. This future use will happen in a few seconds. Then click Copy in the Toolbox (or choose Edit > Copy or press Ctrl+C on the keyboard) to place the weave into clipboard for future use. As you will draw the draft, the card will be automatically copied in the weave. Notice that the draft is equal to the dobby card from the bottom. On the top of the weave editor you have to draw the draft. You will need just two shafts for the motif. Use the left mouse button for drawing black points (warp up) in the weave editor, and right mouse button to erase them. Set the dimension of the weave which you will draw.ĭraw a peg plan (also cold a lifting plan or dobby card) at the right side of the weave editor. Delete contents of weave editor by clicking Clear in the Toolbox. The program initially contains a default fabric. We are not cheating, and there is a logic behind the whole thing □ If you find it hard to follow our “mathematical” explanation, just skip ahead and try to understand what we are doing by looking at the pictures. We will draw it as a weave in the weave editor. The motif will be 4 times smaller, therefore its size will be 72×72. ![]() It will be represented in a motif with a square size of 2 by 2 points. The smallest square in the fabric has a repeat of 8 ends and 8 picks. Each block of the motif represents a repeat of 4 ends and 4 picks. We will later use the motif to replace the two motif colors with the two twills. At the end, we will optimize the number of shafts, and we will have a big dobby weave drawn in no time at all.įirst you have to find the repeat and develop the pattern motif. But instead of using ArahPaint to draw the motif, we will use ArahWeave‘s weave editor, since we can do it faster this way. We will treat this weave as if it was a jacquard and draw the picture (motif) into which we will replace each color area with a weave. We will pull a few tricks up our sleeves, so you learn something new. It would take considerable time to draw this weave point by point, even with the help of all the tools for automatically repeating a smaller pattern section. This is where the dual dobby/jacquard nature of ArahWeave shows its strength. The construction of the pattern is quite simple, and using a powerful tool like ArahWeave, you can finish it in 2 minutes. These two twills are arranged in a repeating pattern. It consists of two basic weaves: one is a warp-way twill and the other is a weft-way twill. The weave of the scanned fabric is quite big, but the fabric was nevertheless woven on dobby looms. In this tutorial, we will make a shaft damask fabric. ![]()
