A July 1940 Handweaving News article by Nellie Sargent Johnson showing how one 8-harness, two-block threading draft can produce different fabrics simply by changing the tie-up. It explains how to draw a key draft on cross-section paper and write the threading in short and long form. It gives tie-ups and treadling orders for double-faced satin, twill variations, double weave on an all-white warp with two weft colors, double-width overshot, and overshot tubing. Warp and weft sizes and sett are noted for the samples, which were woven on a Structo 8-harness loom.
