A 1930 Handicrafter article by Myra L. Davis on weaving upholstery and curtain fabrics, with six samples reproduced on four-harness looms from Danish hand-woven originals. It explains the requirements of each fabric type, such as firmness, closeness of weave, drape and fast dyes, and gives yarns, sett and treadling for each sample. Draft diagrams and photographs of the samples are included, along with a note on alternating heavy and fine warp threads to make a firm, non-porous upholstery fabric.
