A 1938 Weaver article by Florence Cathcart Fowle on designing linen doilies (place mats) on a small loom so that the cut ends match the selvages. It describes three doilies: two woven on a Betsy Ross M's and O's threading with floss cords and turned hems, and a third with a Swedish-style over-laid pattern in the warp. Threading plans, warp plans, tie-ups, treadling directions, a tape-measure method for uniform size, and photographs of the finished pieces are included.
