Nellie Sargent Johnson introduces a "four and one" variation of overshot in which each pattern block has four threads plus one, producing a nearly solid band effect. She gives a 420-thread warp layout for a modern luncheon set and place mat on a Structo loom, with a threading draft, tie-up and treadling. Weft suggestions cover linen floss, mercerized cotton and color combinations, plus lever sequences for end borders and heavier mats.
