When we speak of shaped fabric, it is generally assimilated to the Jacquard craft and this is a great unacceptable confusion and restriction. Jacquard mechanics only spread in the 1820s, even if it was almost 20 years earlier (dysfunction, prohibitive cost in the workshops).
The history of the fashioned, for its part, has several thousand years, on the picking craft simply perfected in the nineteenth century by several successive mechanics who added an automatic mechanism.
The confusion is probably due to the fact that Jacquaed mechanics is still used today, while the pickpocket has disappeared in France and is only dimly visible in the depths of two or three museums. But France is not the world, and the craft, which probably comes from China, is still used in a traditional way in many countries.
It is necessary to set the record straight. The weaving of shapes has arrived in France only very laboriously and very late, well after China and the Orient, Italy, Spain or Morocco.

Introduction
The weaving of plain or armored fabrics that uses frames is easy to understand.The weaving of fabrics using a Jacquard, Vincenzi or Verdol mechanical puller seems to be very complicated and inaccessible to the beginner when he reads texts devoted to him.
