Instructional article by Elmer Wallace Hickman on Swedish dukagång, a laid-in (pick-up) technique worked from the back of a plain-weave web with design bobbins and tabby binder shots. It covers materials, reed and warp setup, bobbin winding and handling, the shed sequence on a four-harness table or floor loom, and 18 numbered troubleshooting tips. A worked example gives a color-by-color row sequence, and the article includes working-side sketches, photographs of experimental pieces, and charted Scandinavian border, pillow-top and spot motifs, with rosepath and twill threading drafts.
