Various small articles are assigned as problems to be sent in for criticism.

(4 blue-prints, many patterns.)

Lesson 6.—Gives a description of the little known "Summer and Winter" weave, on 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 harnesses. The blue-prints include the famous "Pine Tree Border" and a large number of unusual patterns. The problem assigned for this lesson is the weaving of a coverlet. Directions are given for arranging a coverlet in the loom—whether for weaving in two or in three strips—suggestions as to where to center the pattern, arrangement and width of borders, etc. (5 blue-prints.)

Lesson 7.—Patterns set in the warp as well as woven in the weft; double weaving; the twill, and the broken twill or 4-heddle damask weave; a curious weave described in the old book on weaving by "Bronson." (This weave is useful in many ways —especially for weaving little detached figures.)

Several small articles are assigned as exercises for this lesson.

(5 blue-prints.)

Lesson 8.—Is a thesis problem, the designing of a bed-room set of Colonial textiles—coverlet, curtains, rugs, scarves, towels, portieres, pillow-tops, either in an original pattern or in an adaptation of an old one.

The work assigned to be sent in for criticism includes diagrams, drafts and samples of weaving.

A diploma is issued on satisfactory completion of the course.
