Thanks. I just used your tip! I had a knot in my warp and just left it. Sure enough later the thread came apart at the knot. I used your advice, and it was excellent! 🧶
Wonderful video, Tammy... It answered allot of my questions. All great tips. Thank you! Awesome way to switch from 8 to 10 dent, as well as fixing floats. I have wondered about draw-in. No one has every stipulated yay or nay to whether there should or shouldn't be any. Your explanation for perfect selvedge's - amazing! My dominant hand is my left, yet find that selvedge tends to be higher than my right (usually measure this every inch or so). Will definitely be giving the lower/higher pick angle a try.
Tammy I am new to weaving so I am really getting a lot of great information from your videos. I loved the tips you gave in this. I have not had to fix a floater yet or a broken warp string. Just literally starting. I have a question about the yarn that you leave on top and cut after finishing with felling. Do they really never pull out later down the road when being worn or washed? That flips me out! I feel like they need to be tied off somehow. I know they don’t but don’t understand the why! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! It’s awesome!
You are welcome! Glad to help. As different as we all are, experienced weavers will assure you that interweaving these threads is the most functional way to incorporate the ends. A knot would create a definite flaw. Unless you do this at a selvage where there is more stress on the fabric, they are interwoven and reinforced once fulled. Very occasionally, after much use, a tiny fuzzy end may present itself, and you can trim it, but I don't see unweaving in any of the items I've created over the years. If you used a slippery coated thread, repairs might be less secure, but we seldom use those in weaving as they generally come out stiff and undesirable. You can always allow a greater overlap if you don't think your fabric will full much.
Tilting my shuttle has been such a helpful tip.Thanks so much
Glad that helps. Happy weaving!

Thank you, thank you!! I've been scratching my head to think how I can change the sett and keep control of all the ends! :)
