Thanks! Seeing the draft explains many things. I'll start adding basketweave selvedges to my twill projects!

There is an excellent treatment of basketweave selvedges in Allen Fannin's book "Handloom Weaving Technology", chapter 33.  When designing drafts for my 24 shaft loom, I often make the design 20 shafts so that I can use the basketweave selvedge (which requires four shafts).  I'm pondering whether or not I can safely post the draft in our draft section.  Certainly basketweave is in the public domain -- however, I'm wondering about the specific selvedge treatment.  Anyone got thoughts about this?

Check with the Weavolution team before posting.  I'll have to pull my HT out and take a look again.

I posted the draft for the four shaft basketweave selvedge after consulting with folks.  The consensus is that this is in public domain (at least I hope it is).    I don't especially like the way that the system converts my drafts to the tie up on the left, but I hope my explanation is clear about how to thread.
