MANUALLY-ADVANCED CYLINDER, WITH AN ADJUSTABLE POINTER, FOR CONTINUOUS TRACKING OF TREADLING ON A WEAVING DRAFT WHEN WEAVING WITH A HAND-OPERATED LOOM
The object of the invention is to enable the weaver to weave the design structure of fabric without having to remember where one is on the treadling draft (a diagrammatic representation of the treadling order). This invention not only enables the weaver to weave without mistakes but also to stop weaving for any time period and resume weaving without having to examine the previously woven cloth, thus ensuring that the pattern of the weaving continues as designed.
When any draft is taped onto the cylinder, the weaver is able to rotate the cylinder and thus the draft, keeping track of each treadling by the draft's alignment with the pointer.
This invention is designed to assist the weaver to always know where to begin the next treadling, based upon the pointer's position on the draft, thereby enabling the weaver to continue to weave, without mistakes, the prescribed design of woven fabric.

Textured Fabric Printing System And Method
A patterned fabric with a number of threadings therein which cause surface variations in the fabric. A selvedge of the fabric includes reference markers therein, preferably also identified by threadings in the fabric (e.g. bindings or stitches). The reference markers include some matching portions that allow for computer imaging identification of the markers at the threading level and a coded portion which varies to identify where along the fabric the marker is located and thus allow a printing and imaging apparatus to identify threadings within a pattern area between the selvedges which pattern area will be printed or is printed with a printed design.
