Named for Joseph M Jacquard, inventor of the Jacquard loom, which used a punched card to instruct the loom to weave a pattern in cloth Later applied to 68mm tape used to program automated embroidery machines Sea Automat
A loom, which makes it possible to control each warp thread so that each and every warp end can be raised or lowered at, will to form an intricate design Originally controlled by a punched card system sometimes called the first computer, today the loom is fed by computer generated information that eliminates the cards, making design changes faster and more efficient
[n] a loom attachment of punch cards invented by Louis Jacquard that allowed weavers to create patterns of figures like flowers, people, buildings, or trees
Woven fabrics manufactured by using the Jacquard attachment on the loom This attachment provides versatility in designs and permits individual control of each of the warp yarns Thus, fabrics of almost any type or complexity can be made Brocade and damask are types of jacquard woven fabrics
A system of weaving that utilizes a highly versatile pattern mechanism to permit the production of large, intricate patterns Examples in our collection: "Libra", 100% Xorel, wallcovering, upholstery "Morning Glory", wallcovering "Rock Garden", upholstery "Secret Garden", cubicle fabrics
a description of techniques used for knitting and weaving to obtain large-scale and/or figured designs (named after the inventor, Joseph Marie Jacquard, 1752-1834)
Joseph Jacquard invented this decorative weaving technique in 1804 A special loom is used to weave a pattern directly into the fabric; a costly process that produces an elegant cloth A fabric of intricate variegated weave or pattern
Type of woven or knitted fabric, which is constructed on a special machine that uses needle selection which results in intricate, complex all-over designs Single knit jacquards are commonly knit with two separate colored yarns that are knit together in a row Double knit jacquards are knit with up to five separate colored yarns across a row Double knits are generally much more intricate, more colorul and yet heavier (mostly used in long sleeve product) Woven jacquard fabrics include brocade, damask and tapestry
A pattern knit or woven into a fabric; either a surface effect, or a pattern produced with coloured yarns In common useage, jacquards tend to be heavier patterns than pointelles Jacquards come and go in popularity - like everything else!

The jacquard patterns are made by the loom invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard of France It uses a punch card similiar to a piano and produces a variety of decorative designs Some of the patterns have specific names such as brocade, damask, and tapestry
