A two-page July 1944 issue of Nellie Sargent Johnson's Handweaving News presenting modern two-block designs woven in overshot, adapted from the work of her student Loretta Loughney. It gives key drafts, threading drafts and thread counts for a place mat on a 420-thread warp (20/2 mercerized cotton at 30 epi), with lever directions for Structo looms and the materials used. It also describes 5-and-1, 7-and-1 and 9-and-1 block threadings and mentions that the designs could be woven in summer and winter, M's and O's, and Bronson weave.
