A Lily Mills Practical Weaving Suggestions bulletin by Toni Ford on heavier table mats that lie flat and stay put. It recommends mat and hem sizes and describes four mats with warp, weft and color details. These are a ribbed mat of alternating heavy and light wefts, a two-size warp mat built of squares, a Rosepath mat in novelty cotton, and a six-harness block-unit mat by Harry Burkett with a threading draft and six-treadle tie-up. It also gives tips on squared texture, warp tension and napkins, and ends with a list of recommended Lily yarns.
