	Jacquard weaving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jacquard weaving makes possible in almost any loom the raising of each warp thread independently of the others.
		He recognized that although weaving was intricate, it was repetitive, and saw that a mechanism could be developed for the production of sophisticated patterns just as it had been done for the production of simple patterns.
		Originally the jacquard machines were mechanical, and the fabric design was punched in pattern cards which were joined together to form a continuous chain.
