I weave towels for my church to be given to the parents when their baby is baptized.  I'm trying a new pattern to fully utilize the 16 shafts on my AVL.  I added 6 threads plain weave on each side and 8 picks plain weave at each end.  I weave one repeat of the pattern, plain weave band (two picks of plain weave, 3 strands of weft in the next plain weave pick,  22 picks plain weave, 3 strands of warp in the next plain weave pick, 2 picks of plain weave), 5 repeats of the pattern, another plain weave band, and one more repeat of the pattern.  I also hemstitch each end, leaving a short half inch fringe.
