August 1954 issue of the Shuttle Craft Guild Handweaver's Bulletin (Portfolio Edition) devoted to modernizing the Summer and Winter weave. It covers the weave's history as a simplification of early double-woven coverlets, a review of the unit-weave threading, tie-ups and treadling rules, and a warp-stripe variation using supplemental heavy warp threads held by weighted chains. Profile drafts for 4- and 6-harness threadings, curtain suggestions, a weaver's knot, a Q&A on squaw marks, the 1955 Bateman Exhibit, loom harness capacity, and a Guild newsletter complete the issue; a photo page shows the two portfolio samples.
