A short two-page article from Master Weaver on eight-shaft overshot. It contrasts the Colonial transcription of 4-block patterns onto 8 shafts (overshot on opposites) with overshot that has as many pattern blocks as shafts. Drafts show the use of stitching ties and the effect of leaving them out, and the text discusses design possibilities such as multicolor Italian overshot and threading two different patterns on shafts 1-4 and 5-8.
