Mary Atwater surveys the possibilities of the six-harness loom, including overshot, Bronson, mock leno, summer and winter and other weaves, then concentrates on small "fabric" threadings for texture rather than pattern. Page 2 has a diagram of 24 tie-ups and threadings (a)-(s), and the text gives tie-up and treadling directions for each, such as plain twill, corkscrew twill, double-faced twill, shepherd's check, bird's-eye, herringbone, waffle and basket weave. She advises on tie-up conventions for jack looms, choice of materials, warp setting, sampling and washing for yardage weaving.
