An essay by Maria Steinhof urging handweavers to stop copying traditional patterns such as Queen's Delight, Governor's Garden and Summer and Winter, and to create contemporary designs through direct experimentation with thread. She argues that handweaving must be judged by the effect of the fabric, not by being handmade, and predicts that handloom patterns will influence industrial textile production. The two pages are illustrated with a sample book of designs and photographs of handwoven napkin fabric and handbags made with Bernat yarns.
