Mary M. Atwater's 1937 article on pattern weaving in overshot on six harnesses. She covers using the two extra harnesses for tabby borders around four-harness overshot, six-block patterns (a six-block Lovers' Knot, Diamond and Chariot-Wheel), and overshot woven "on opposites" written for six harnesses, which gives a reversible fabric with stars on one side and roses on the other. Drafts and tie-ups are given, including the 'John Landes' pattern with warp arrangements for a coverlet strip and a pillow top, plus a Monk's Belt stripe arrangement. The scan also includes the end of a different article and a Questions and Answers column.
