A short essay from Master Weaver on how much technical perfection handweavers should pursue. The author refers to Mary Atwater's warning about deliberate mistakes and argues that handweaving should not imitate power-loom regularity. The essay discusses threading and treadling accuracy, edges, beating and knots, and contrasts the neatness of industrial weaving with the looser standards of European peasant and American Indian weaving.
