           PROCEDURE

           TASK 1: Design on graph paper
           1  Decide the  design size eg. 100x100 or  200x200   5  Now start creating the design on graph paper, using
              picks.                                               a grid as a guide.
           2  Take a suitable graph paper size based on design’s   6  Then use different colours or symbols to represent
              size.                                                different yarns or threads.
           3  Draw a grid on the graph paper using a ruler. Ensure   7  Add specifications for the jacquard loom such as,
              the grid is evenly spaced and aligned with the paper   •  Number of shafts.
              edges.
                                                                   •  Number of picks per repeat.
           4  Sketch your design  idea on a separate  piece  of
              paper.

           TASK 2: Harness mounting and card cutting of jacquard loom weaving
           1  Harness mounting                                  Step 4: Check and adjust
           Step 1: Prepare the loom                             1  Check the harnesses for proper alignment and

           Step 2: Identify the harnesses
                                                                Step 1: Prepare the cards
           1  Identify the harnesses to be mounted, including their
              corresponding shafts and connections.             1  Ensure the cards are clean and free of debris.

           2  Check the harness  labels  or markings  to ensure   2  Check the cards for any damage or wear.
