 I finished weaving a variation on the traditional blooming leaf overshot pattern on 8 shafts.  It is for a baby named Valentine hence the rose/pink palette. Washed, hemmed and it is very soft and sweet.  I had a bit of a problem using my new end-feed shuttles.  The tabby picks would fairly frequently loop at the edges and be pulled into the selvedges by the pattern shot.  Would tightening the tension on the tabby shuttle prevent this?  I wonder.
