A short essay by Mary Meigs Atwater contrasting weaving for profit with weaving for pleasure. She argues that commercial weavers must sometimes compromise beauty for saleability, while amateurs risk being too easily satisfied and should adopt an artist's attitude toward criticism and workmanship. She concludes that amateur weavers carry responsibility for setting standards of beauty and craftsmanship that commercial weavers follow.
