Instruction booklet by Nellie Sargent Johnson for the six-harness "Hearthside" folding jack-type floor loom she designed for Sears, Roebuck & Co. It describes the loom and its parts, then walks a beginner through planning a project, sectional warping, threading, sleying, tying on, tie-up, winding shuttles, weaving plain weave, and correcting threading mistakes. It closes with rag rug projects and threading and treadling drafts for twill, herringbone, rose-path, colonial overshot and crackle rugs. Illustrated with line drawings, diagrams and photographs of finished rugs.
