Berta Frey's article describes adapting summer-and-winter weaving to modern design by combining blocks and picking up parts of the pattern on a four-harness loom. She explains two samplers (X and Y) woven in stripes, giving lever sequences for tabby-bound and opposite-bound weaving, woven singly or in pairs, and how to bring the shuttle out and back into the shed to pick up blocks. She discusses designing from a draft versus fitting a draft to a design, using examples such as a bath mat and rug, a Monk's Belt foot stool upholstery, and suggestions for rug, luncheon set and silk-and-cellophane materials. Pages include drafts and pattern figures and photographs of the sampler cloths.
