           Change in structure by varying lifting plan on graph paper

           Objectives : At the end of this exercise you shall be able to
           •  prepare different weave designs by changing lifting plan.

           PROCEDURE

           TASK 1:  Changing the structure of a diamond twill weave by varying the lifting plan (treadling sequence) on
                   graph paper

           Step 1: Set up your graph paper                      3  Reverse twill
           •  Turn your paper so  the  top  edge is  threading, left   •  Treadle: 4–3–2–1
              edge is tie-up, and bottom right is treadling.
                                                                4  Asymmetrical treadling
           •  Use four shafts: label them 1 to 4 from bottom to top   •  Treadle: 1–2–3–3–2–1
              (tie-up).

           •  Use the same pointed threading as before: 1–2–3–  5  Extended treadling
              4–3–2–1 and repeat.                                  •  Treadle: 1–2–3–4–4–4–3–2–1
           Step 2: Try Different Lifting Plans (Treadling Variations)  6  Treadling with pauses (Repeated picks)
           1  Point Treadling (Standard diamond)                   •  Treadle: 1–2–2–3–4–3–2–1

              •  Treadle: 1–2–3–4–3–2–1                            Likewise change the structure of a different
                                                                   weaves by varying the lifting plan (treadling
           2  Straight treadling (Zigzag)
                                                                   sequence) on graph paper
              •  Treadle: 1–2–3–4, repeat
