Are there rules (or rules of thumb) for how to balance an advancing twill threading in an attractive way? I have a sense that the nature of the advancing twill line might impose certain restrictions.
For an upcoming workshop I am looking at a published echo weave draft based on an 8 shaft advancing point twill. The draft calls for a number or threading repeats, followed by a repeat of the entire twill line advancing from shaft 1 to shaft 8, for balance. Balancing in this case requires 32 ends. This is all before we get to the echo weave. What are my other options for balancing that won't look like a mess? Anything that would require fewer ends? How could I split the balancing to either side so that the pattern repeats are centered?
Hope all that makes sense.
