An article from Master Weaver describing a variant of overshot with six pattern blocks woven on four shafts, using the two tabby sheds as additional pattern sheds. It explains the resulting texture without tabby, with an opposite-shed binder, the eight threading units for floats of 4, 6 and 8, and how to use profile drafts and treadling. It ends with a project for "Gothic" place mats in cotton, giving warp, sett, threading, tie-up, treadling and weft details.
