Mary Meis Atwater discusses the choice and design of borders for coverlets and other woven pieces, mainly in overshot. She covers plain twill borders, twill successions of blocks, and four-block diamond and five-block Russian Diaper threadings, including versions on opposites. She explains how to join border and main pattern and how border width relates to bed size. She also gives a simulated Pine Tree border for four-harness crackle weave and Pine Tree borders for summer and winter, with threading and treadling directions and drafts on three diagrams.
