Clara M. Youse describes adapting the embroidery 'sheaf stitch' from Mary B. Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches to a modified Bronson weave, woven on two harnesses or a simple heddle-frame loom over plain tabby. She gives the block formula, advice on fitting a design to the warp, materials (Egyptian cotton, linen weft), and row-by-row directions for a bureau scarf. Ten block designs are illustrated, including Cambridge Beauty, Rosebuds, Young Lovers Knot, and eight-harness border and tree designs. The scan also includes the end of an article on weaving variations of the Honeysuckle pattern.
