I’ve taken to counting and marking the number of gaps in the reed that I need in advance. Starting from the middle and counting out, to make sure it’s centered. If I’m a couple of gaps lopsided, I’ll shift the reed a bit, rather than re-sley.
Is that a normal thing? No idea! It’s never been mentioned in the project books I’m working through.
With diplopia, astigmatism and a mountain of floaters - all which vary with tiredness - reed threading is easier than heddle threading, but not by much.
#weaving & gaps for #Fiberuary (not in fabric though)
@Kymberly Interesting! I haven't done it in advance before and normally just shift the reed if I was off. I will have to try this for a future project.
@Kymberly There are all kinds of practices I put in place to try to catch mistakes. Some I picked up from my collection of weaving books and others I just made up. Maybe I will write up a thread listing them later today.
@kyle Oo, please do! I'm very interested in habits to catch/prevent mistakes.
@kyle I am terrible at telling if things are lined up, and lose count *very* easily. 😅
