A 1955 editorial from the Master Weaver newsletter (Z-Handicrafts, Fulford, Quebec) arguing that handweaving needs recognized standards for teachers and for goods sold. It proposes national or regional weavers' guilds to qualify teachers and to issue uniform approval tags for articles. It also suggests a four-tier classification of woven goods (exclusive, hand-woven, hand-loomed on fly-shuttle looms, hand-made on small automatic looms), with prices set accordingly. It also urges locally characteristic design for the tourist trade, and announces two follow-up articles.
