A short two-page article from Master Weaver explaining a shortcut for designing experimental fabrics on multiharness looms with straight threading and straight treadling. In that case the tie-up is identical to the draw-down, turned 90 degrees, so the weaver designs the cloth directly in the tie-up space. It walks through the steps on an 8-frame, 12-treadle loom, then shows 12-frame, 16-treadle examples (diamond twill, waffle, texture, a turned twill pattern weave, and a tabby-rich weave) with suggested uses. It also gives sampling advice and notes the method's limits for larger projects.
