This article does not go into the details of how to use ArahWeave PE.
JACQUARD DESIGN SOFTWARE FULL
They are very well covered in Arahne's tutorials and the ArahWeave user manual.ĪrahWeave PE is “intended for owners of electronic jacquard handlooms, and design studios without the need for driving the production machinery.” It offers many of the features you would get with the full ArahWeave Jacquard Edition. However, it does not provide support for saving designs for power looms or other features mainly of interest to textile mills. ArahWeave PE's commercial quality textile design features makes it possible for me to get quicker, more reliable results than if I created I have been designing for the Beljen Mills Jacquard power loom using ArahWeave PE, information contained in The Woven Pixel and custom software that produces power loom design files. In 2003, I got a TC-1 loom and needed a way to produce designs for it. I expected to design fabrics using the PhotoShop techniques taught by Vibeke Vestby of Digital Weaving Norway. I also downloaded a demo version of ArahWeave intending to use it to design weave structures for use in fabric designs. Once I experienced ArahWeave PE’s power and ease of use however, I decided to do all my designing in ArahWeave PE and purchased a copy. This was the base version of ArahWeave PE that supports designs up to a maximum size of 2048 ends x 2048 picks.Īfter I began designing for the Beljen Mills loom, I upgraded to the version of ArahWeave PE that supports a 4096 x 4096 maximum design size. That made it much easier to produce designs for this large loom. I now use a copy of ArahWeave PE that supports design sizes up to 16,384 x 16,384. This allows me to produce a design for the full width of the Beljen Mills Jacquard loom as a single ArahWeave PE fabric design. Preparation really starts with creating a library of weaves designed for the Beljen Mills loom. My weave library contains weaves with traditional warp tapestry faces as well as variations where the face of the cloth shows longer warp floats.
