Thanks to Martina Stadler of pattern design gmbh for providing us the SVG design for this tutorial. So we need to reverse the fabric before weaving. We need to weave the fabric with fil coupe long floats on the face, so long floats do not 'fall down' during weaving, and to enable easy shearing on the face. ArahWeave also allows you to see the fil coupe simulation before weaving, and calculates you the weight and fiber composition of the final fabric (after shearing).
In this tutorial, we also use automatic pattern generator to create a more complicated ground weft pattern.ĭuring this operation, we protect the extra fil coupe wefts, so that the pattern generator modifies only the ground wefts. We use extra / figuring wefts to achieve more colorful design. Fil coupe fabrics are mainly used for curtains or for apparel, because the fabric needs to be light and sometimes also transparent. This time we will make a fil coupe, that is a fabric with long floats in extra wefts, which are then cut off by shearing machine. You should look at Photoshop or GIMP if you need red eye reduction.We are using the same picture form SVG to woven exercise. This is a pixel pushing program, not a photo retouching program.

Arahne develops ArahWeave, CAD/CAM software for dobby and Jacquard weaving, ArahDrape, a texture mapping program, ArahPaint, a dedicated Jacquard designing paint program, and ArahView, 3D tool to present fabrics on models. For this reason, ArahPaint4 uses non-standard build method, since the libraries stay at their place as if it was still part of ArahWeave, to minimize the changes to the code. Arahne has released ArahPaint4 as open source, together with some custom libraries which ArahPaint4 uses. supported syntaxes are: - headings: h1/h2.
