    TASK 3: Weaving plan/design using Paint Shop Pro (PSP) software

                Part A: Understanding Weaving Plan Components         2  Choose two colors
                Before  starting  on  PSP,  explain  to  trainees  what  a   -  Black = Warp yarn on top (lifted)
                weaving plan consists of:                               -  White (or keep it background) = Weft yarn on top

                1  Threading Plan (Warp order)                             (warp below)
                2  Lifting Plan (Which warp threads lift on each pick)  3  Start filling squares manually
                3  Tie-up (relation between treadles and harnesses -   -  Start from top-left corner.
                   mostly for dobby/jacquard)                         -  Alternate each square horizontally and vertically.
                4  Weave Design Visualization (Interlacement pattern)
                                                                      Example for first 4x4 section

                   -  Width = 200 pixels                              4  Complete filling for entire grid size
                   -  Height = 200 pixels
                                                                        -  Continue  till full canvas  is filled  with the plain

                Part C: Creating Grid for Warp & Weft                 Part E: Saving the Design

                1  Go to View → Grid                                  1  Go to File → Save As
                   -  This will help trainees align threads easily.     -  Save as: PlainWeave_Design.pspimage (Native
                2  Go to View → Snap to Grid                               format)

                   -  This helps fill colors perfectly into grid boxes.
                                                                      Part F: Variations for Practice
                3  Set Grid Properties:
                   -  Grid spacing:  10 px x  10 px  (so each square   Ask trainees to try below for self-practice:
                      represents one intersection of warp & weft)     1  Make 2/2 Twill Weave (Two up, two down)
                4  Zoom In:                                           2  Make 3/1 Twill

                   -  (For better accuracy: View → Zoom → 800%)       3  Design Diamond weave (by mirroring twill)
                Part D: Drawing Plain Weave Pattern Manually          Part G: Final Display and Print
                1  Select pencil tool                                 1  Print the final design.
                -  Set size = 1 px.                                   2  Trainees can paste printed copies in their weaving
                                                                        design notebook.
