Mary Atwater's 1937 article describes special techniques, or "stunts," for card (tablet) weaving. It explains a time-saving method of warping and threading cards in pairs for patterns where every card carries the same colors, then shows how to weave around a square corner, make twisted effects for a hatband, and weave four-strand and five-section braided belts. It also suggests uses such as card-woven stripes set in loom fabric, fringes, sandal straps, bag handles and girdles. Six pages of drafts, stacking diagrams and photographs of samples accompany the text.
