A three-page instructional article by Nellie Sargent Johnson (June 1941) introducing four-shaft twill, herringbone (reverse twill), and rosepath threadings. It explains the complete 14-treadle twill tie-up, plain-weave tabby treadles, the standard six-treadle tie-up, drawing down woven effects on paper, double-width cloth on four shafts, and weaving rosepath on opposites with two colors. It also compares different ways of writing drafts and tie-ups (numbers, dots, X's, O's, notes), lists Scandinavian and other reference books, and ends with four broken-twill drafts.
