September 1954 issue of the Shuttle Craft Guild Handweaver's Bulletin (Portfolio Edition), devoted largely to four-harness overshot. It explains overshot as derived from twill using the Circle Diagram, describes the basic pattern motifs (diamond, star, rose, checks, tables, wheels), and gives rules for weaving overshot, including even numbers of shots on turning blocks and weaving as-drawn-in. It also gives a draft and color arrangements for an overshot motif gamp, a recommended weaving library list, a member's tip on using spools instead of an extra warp beam, notes on 10-harness looms, stoles, and a newsletter with yarn and color news. A draft sheet with seven motif drafts and the circle diagram is included, along with notes on the Portfolio sample.
