Mary Meigs Atwater discusses how to choose and design borders for coverlets, table pieces, rugs, runners and hangings. She covers twill, twill-succession, diamond and Russian diaper border threadings for overshot, including forms written on opposites, and how to join border and main pattern. She also explains how to produce a simulated Pine-Tree border in four-harness crackle weave and a true Pine-Tree border in summer and winter, with threading diagrams, tie-ups and treadling directions.
