An article by Marguerite P. Davison showing how varied textures can be obtained by changing the treadling of a few small four-harness threadings. Three plates of woven samples are paired with handwritten drafts for Weaver's Fancy (Forrest C. Crooks, Cliveden Bulletin No. 43), A Finnish Diamond (Anna Henriksson) and a Swiss Twill Design (Helen Seaforth Sedgmer). The brief text gives the warp and weft yarns and sett, explains how tabby use is indicated, and comments on individual treadlings, including honey-comb effects, color use and a sample resembling embroidery.
