This poster, located in our permanent gallery, depicts the entire bedspread design process, starting with cotton and ending with the final product. Created by the Bates Company in-house, this document comes to life as you follow along with the machines we have on display, giving a glimpse at how people would have designed and built the millions of Jaccard-loomed textiles that were sent all over the country. Join us on our guided tours where we follow the very process detailed in this poster and see how the Bates bedspreads were made.
