If it does and if you wound as many threads as that number, then you have made a mistake somewhere. On the other hand, you may have accidentally wound too many threads on the board. I make mistakes like that occasionally, despite the best of care in counting.<br>Do you have two more (unused) shafts? If you do, you can set up a plain weave selvedge. Otherwise the floating slevedge business would help some.<br>Peg in South Carolinahttp://talkingaboutweaving.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3656447.post-65933532268965144942008-02-25T05:22:35.000-05:002008-02-25T05:22:35.000-05:00Christine beat me to my first thought of using flo...Christine beat me to my first thought of using floating selvages. My other idea is using a temple. I've had my warp threads at the end twist as well and tried straigtening them. I think I did end up weighting them. My memory stops there, what else is new, so it must have worked or nothing awful happened!<br>Mariehttp://marie-funnyfarm.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3656447.post-41591418843928328922008-02-24T15:28:47.000-05:002008-02-24T15:28:47.000-05:00I love playing in Fiberworks-PCW, I would be lost ...I love playing in Fiberworks-PCW, I would be lost in my weaving without it.<br>Are you using floating selvages to help stabilize the curvy sides?<br>Christinehttp://www.thingsIdo.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3656447.post-31195125554766932402008-02-24T11:12:07.000-05:002008-02-24T11:12:07.000-05:00Looking good!

Did you thread the M's & O's pattern all the way out? I tried a 1 - 4 plain weave threading, but the weft didn't want to pack in very well. I wasn't sure if it was the draft or the fact that I tend to have too much draw in with my shuttle throwing. I'll be very interested in how yours wash up. Washing helped mine tremendously.<br>Leighhttp://leighsfiberjournal.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
