Anyway, I never would have noticed that error from my galloping horse.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904270845559593827.post-9415184429766134182007-12-07T12:54:00.000-08:002007-12-07T12:54:00.000-08:00There is so much to know about weaving.

Maybe this hadn't happened to you before just out of good luck, and because of an accident you've got a different understand of working with blocks.<BR/><BR/>An issue I see here is that weaving software is a fast way to get designs worked out, but in terms of thorough preparation I suspect there's no substitute for the step-by-step approach you have to take when drafting by hand. Using software, it's quite possible to overlook things like this.<BR/><BR/>I recently forgot to check float lengths in a pattern. Although the top surface in an advanced twill I'd designed was fine there were some ridiculously long floats on the back - and I didn't realise until it was off the loom. I need to organise a mirror for looking under the cloth on the loom, as I've seen you recommend!Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.com
