Thanks again to everyone who helped me along the way; I followed a draft for these (not a pattern) and had to figure out how to balance from left to right. In this case, it only required one extra thread on the left, so it wasn't too bad. However, I then added 38 more threads to the right side because I was worried about shrinkage. Weaving 10 placemats was challenging --- by the time I got to number six, I think most of the lightbulbs had finally gone off regarding balancing the pattern on both short ends as well! By the last placemat, I was ended the next mat on the same pick that had started it on, to truly make a full large oval on each end. Tricky. :) I also ended up serging the ends, and folding over only once, then machine stitching, even though I used 10/2 thread for the hems. Next time I will try sewing thread. These ended up about 14 x 18.5, which wasn't too bad, and of course my Mom loved them, and didn't notice any of the mistakes - at least not yet. :) Today is her birthday, and they arrived by mail just in time. I was really happy to have completed them and have a few more notes to jot down in my "lessons I have learned" folder. :) Thanks again to everyone -- it's so nice to have a little bit of advice when needed! &nbsp;--- Cindy</p><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;"><img style="font-size: 0.8em; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://www.weavolution.com/sites/default/files/fckimage/user7721/large_…; alt="" width="180" height="180" /><img style="font-size: 0.8em; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://www.weavolution.com/sites/default/files/fckimage/user7721/large_…; alt="" width="180" height="180" /><img style="font-size: 0.8em; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://www.weavolution.com/sites/default/files/fckimage/user7721/large_…; alt="" width="180" height="180" /></p></div></span></div><p>&nbsp;</p>
