I'm stumped. I am weaving a baby blanket for my latest great niece. It has blocks of twill separated by basket weave. Below is a pictue of what the woven fabric will look like.
The selvedges are all basket weave as you can see. When I've used this pattern before, it was on a loom without fly shuttles and I used a floating selvedge. This time I want to use my fly shuttle and watched as pick #2 just undid pick #1. I'm using 4 different colors in the warp and decided to use a different set of shafts for each color, so all 16 of my shafts are in use. I really don't want to rethread to fix this. Do I have any other options? All colors are threaded straight over 4 shafts.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. I'm mad at myself for not seeing this problem when I was designing it.
