A textile component includes a pocket or channel woven directly into the textile using a jacquard weaving method. The textile component may be used in a variety of applications for attachment to an article. A pattern may be woven into the textile, and a pocket may be woven into the textile for receiving an insert. The textile may also include one or more channels for attaching the textile to an article. The channels slide over support elements on the article. In addition, a cut line may be woven into the textile to define an intended path for a cutting device.
