A short 1939 article by Nellie Sargent Johnson explaining how to work the Danish stitch, a blanket-stitch-like technique, on the loom over a plain weave ground. It describes sleying with skipped dents versus freely placed stitches, and spacing and staggering the stitches to form borders. Instructions are given for a place mat in carpet warp and candlewick cotton and for a raw silk bag woven on a 12-inch heddle loom. Four photographs and diagrams illustrate the method and the finished pieces.
