Hello Sewing Friends,

Today I am happy to add new arrivals and bring you a one-day special on the JACQUARDS COLLECTION. Shop MARCYTILTON.com today (July 27) and enjoy 20% off all JACQUARDS & BROCADES.

I am often asked about the difference between jacquard and brocade. The answer is none really—because a brocade is one of many types of jacquard.

Jacquard fabric is named after Joseph Marie Jacquard, the man who invented the Jacquard loom. The Jacquard loom revolutionized the production of elaborately patterned fabrics forever by replacing draw boys with punch cards.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If a loom using punch cards with holes sounds like an early computer – it was. The Jacquard loom is considered a critical innovation in the emergence of the first computer. The loom was the first machine to use interchangeable punch cards to instruct another machine to perform an automated task. Mic drop.

So we can all thank fabric looms for the personal computers we use today. How cool is that!

Today is a no-code special. Just shop and save! Below are some new arrivals. You’ll find more on MARCYTITON.com.
