A two-page lesson from the series 'Problems in Teaching' (Lesson V) explaining how to complete a threading draft for a four-shaft loom. It covers balancing an asymmetrical main draft, fitting the repeats to the fabric width, and designing and adjusting borders and selvedges so the design continues and tabby order is kept. A worked example (40-inch linen at 30 ends per inch, 1260 ends) is assembled into a full draft and checked by counting ends.
