Article by Edith H. Snow surveying hand-loom embroidery weaves, which add pattern threads during weaving. It covers brocading, Scandinavian stick weaving (with a Peruvian bird motif in blue wool on linen), and the Greek method used on silk robes shown by Eva Palmer Sikelianos. Instructions describe threading and tie-up on a four-harness loom (1-2-3-4 threading, four pedals), how pattern threads are carried over and under warp threads, and how to chart designs on squared paper. It closes by introducing the laid-in pattern, to be treated in a later article.
