Article by Nell Steedsman describing a method of weaving Bronson lace on a four-harness (counter-balanced) loom using pick-up sticks, so that designs are not limited to two blocks. It explains the equipment, the Bird's Eye threading used in place of a Bronson threading, pick-up procedures for warp floats, weft floats, and both together, and how to prepare the graph-paper cartoon. Six linen samples (10/2 and 40/2 Lily linen) show borders, corner motifs, monograms, and designs adapted from Mexican and Ojibway sources, with setts and warp counts given.
