A two-page instruction leaflet (Leaflet No. 2) explaining how to make a new 5-yard, 213-thread warp of Maysville carpet warp for the Hearthside rigid-heddle loom and thread it. It covers measuring the warp around three chairs, counting and chaining, inserting leash sticks, threading the heddle, tying on to the warp and cloth beam aprons, winding the warp with two people, and beating rag weft for firm rugs. Figures show the chair layout, counting, leash sticks and chaining.

An instruction leaflet by Nellie Sargent Johnson for the "Hearthside" loom, a small portable frame loom about 27 inches wide with a heddle frame that serves as harness and beater. It names the loom's parts, covers choosing yarns and preparing rag or stocking weft, and explains tensioning the warp, winding a shuttle, weaving plain weave, adding new weft and rolling up the cloth. It gives step-by-step directions for three rugs (a blue border rug, a brown and tan rug, and a blue and white arrow-head rug with twisted wefts), plus finishing by hemming or fringing and suggestions for other items to weave.
