Cornelia Stone describes double weaving on eight harnesses, based on directions in an 1849 Baltimore instruction book by Abslam Hecht headed "Draft for Double Coverlets and Carpets." She explains her trial threadings, the 16-treadle complete tie-up and her reduced ten-treadle version, and gives details of a drapery fabric in John Landes pattern No. 63 doubled, woven in natural and red linen. The second page carries the drafts, including complete and short tie-ups and the Hecht drafts. The scan also includes the end of a rebuttal piece, "It's Pretty—But Is It 'Art?'"
