I found I needed to rotate the base filling faced satin horizontally one end and invert it (fig 6). This would have been optimal in a draft using blocks, but didn't work when substituted into the mini-Jacquard draft. To create the complementary warped faced weft backed satin weave, I first tried a warped faced satin that was the result of horizontally flipping and inverting the base filling faced satin (fig.5). To create a weft backed weave in which the second weft appears on the top of the fabric just rotate the weave in fig. These stitch points are added midway between the risers that stitch the top weft to the front of the fabric so they will be hidden by the top weft as much as possible. To design a weft back weave for two weft colors, start with a filling faced base weave (fig.1), insert picks to carry the second weft on the back of the fabric (fig.2) and add sinkers to stitch the second weft to the fabric (fig.3). To reduce the bulkiness of my mini-Jacquard cloth, I chose to only use two weft colors and have warp dominant areas provide a third color for my cloth. Similar weft backed weaves based on 8 shaft satins would probably work on a 16 shaft loom. With a horizontal repeat size of 24 ends, I decided to use a 12 shaft satin as the basis for my weft backed cloth's weave structures. When designing cloth for a Jacquard loom, it's important that areas crossing repeat boundaries contain weaves that divide evenly into the loom's repeat size. Weft backed weaves are normally based on 10 shaft or greater satins to allow ample room for the introduction of stitching points. To allow freedom of design while eliminating long floats, the back wefts are stitched at regular intervals. Currently unused wefts are carried on the back of the cloth. In Jacquard class, I had been introduced to a type of fabric simply referred to as "weft backed." A weft backed fabric has a compound structure with one warp and multiple weft colors. I decided to try designing for my own 24 shaft mini-Jacquard loom using tools readily available to personal computer users rather than a high end CAD system. Alice Schlein's fall 1998 contribution to the Complex Weavers Computer Aided Design Exchange study group was "False Satin for Network Drafting." It intrigued me because the design process she used was similar to that used to design Jacquard weaves.
