the functional properties of a textile art item depends on the actual item. firstly the function of a textile art is to look good and express your theme/concept/message in a creative way. if your textile art is something that is wearable, construction features could be important (depending on end-use and how often the wearer would wear it), so its functions would include fit, and comfort. If its non-wearable (like a wall hanging) you would probably have to find some other functional properties.
btw- in textiles i MAKE THINGS UP. and it works because im gettin 90%'s. so take my advice... and bullshit your way through it
