An article from the Minnesota Weaver's Swatch Page on weaving double cloth with warp stitching on 4, 6 and 8 harnesses. It first walks through a divided four-harness twill double cloth on eight harnesses, after Mary Ellen Laughlin's 'More Than Four', drafting each layer, combining them in an 8 x 8 array, and placing tiepoints under top-layer warp floats. It then covers Elsa Regensteiner's pattern-harness approach from The Art of Weaving, with tabby tieups and added tiepoint treadles for a quilted effect, illustrated with a purple and pink tunic. Drafts, tieups and drawdowns are included.
