January 1938 issue of Nellie Sargent Johnson's Handweaving News, devoted to one article on designing handwoven textiles for present-day use rather than copying past periods. It covers choosing materials and color, matching design to technique, planning proportions with outlines and cut-paper squares, and sources of design inspiration. It then outlines free-woven techniques (laid-in, pick-up or brocade, tapestry, pile and knotted) with book references, and closes with subscriber notes and a planned traveling exhibit.
