Fortunately I know how to add in another warp end and leave the join invisible but it took some time to do.<br />I did not have enough time to consider weaving this using a backstrap. It had to be done in a bit of a rush as the dressmaker wanted it to sew onto the dress. <br /><br />SusanDurham weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097664540351788360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817507759783772681.post-6026041444054221942017-04-14T11:09:03.195+01:002017-04-14T11:09:03.195+01:00I use the PCW weave program which runs my Megado l...I use the PCW weave program which runs my Megado loom. It is easy to design patterns and check that they are correct. For 13 pattern threads you need 15 shafts for a patterned band. I use the loom to check that my patterns are correct and also to weave wider bands or more complex patterns. I still love using bakckstrap as it is so restful.<br />SusanDurham weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097664540351788360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817507759783772681.post-73152828708997671322017-04-14T08:59:04.117+01:002017-04-14T08:59:04.117+01:00This is a delightful story and such a great follow...This is a delightful story and such a great follow on from your prize winning hand binding bands I so admired in Norwich. I so agree: a most fortunate bride. I presume that the fine silk was a pleasure to work with as the result is such a fine band?<br />The time analysis is fascinating - and shows it to have been done by a real specialist (I really appreciate this as I know it has taken me a long time and intense concentration to weave just ⅓ of the Nīca band so far!)<br />I look forward to seeing the photo of her on the day.<br />Thank you so much for sharing this with us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12781709228489633559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817507759783772681.post-10496735432042408382017-04-13T15:48:07.127+01:002017-04-13T15:48:07.127+01:00What a treasure, and what a lucky bride!
