Article by Nellie Sargent Johnson on the free-weaving laid-in technique, in which colored pattern threads are laid into a plain weave ground on any loom that makes a two-harness shed. It describes the 'Hit and Miss' method and a method for weaving definite squares, with step-by-step instructions, and gives materials, warp settings and examples such as table runners, a luncheon set, a wall panel with a tulip design, a bag and a towel border. It also presents designs built from the square as a unit and urges weavers to create their own designs. The scan also includes a Questions and Answers column by Mary M. Atwater on weft-faced and warp-faced weaving.
