By looking into the interlacing diagram of Two in one fabric of weft tapestry principle it can be understood that there are four different figuring parts are formed for which four weaves are developed in 8 x 8 as shown in the graph.

• The picks numbered 1 and 2 are face image weft forming figure and ground of the face image.
• The picks numbered 3 and 4 are back image weft forming figure and ground of the back image.
• The ends numbered 1 and 5 are stitching ends, stitching the four picks together one below the other in alternate plain order.
• The ends numbered 2 and 6 are separating ends which separate face image wefts 1, 2 to form either figure or ground of the face image on the face side.
• The ends numbered 4 and 8 are separating ends which separate back image wefts 3, 4 to form either figure or ground of the back image on the back side.
• The ends numbered 3 and 7 are separating ends which separate both the face image weft 1, 2 from the back image weft 3, 4 to form two layers one above the other.
