An article from the Master Weaver newsletter (July 1953) discussing whether handweaving should be pursued as a craft or as a business. It compares the craftsman's path, with moderate income supplemented by teaching, lecturing and publishing, with the business path of designing simple-to-weave fabrics for hired "shuttle pushers", pre-made warps and warping mills. A second short piece, "Dropped Weaves", begins on page 3 and introduces weaves in which parts of the fabric are left unwoven as floats, including frame requirements for dropped tabby and twill.
