When using the View function or Cloth Simulation, the front and back will not look exactly like they'll look when the cloth is woven. When alternating colors in the warp, you'll find that the "design line" is in a different color on the front and back. Currently no software that we know of correctly renders double weave images. We are working on including this capability in TempoWeave.
If you are weaving on a table loom, there's no need to go to the extra step required to use a skeleton tie-up. Go ahead and generate for the 8-shafts, then convert to a lift plan.
If you'd like to weave your own project with the Star of Bethlehem draft, you may want to resize this draft. For your convenience, we've included a Section Assembly file that you can use to repeat the body as often as needed, and apply the left and right borders for the warp.
Weaving on a sinking shed loom? Where we referred to the bottom layer, the top layer will be woven and visa-versa.
Sett usually needs to be about double the sett as for plain weave with the same yarn. I have found that I use a slightly loose plain weave sett and double it for this technique. As always, sampling is recommended!
