# Notes on Preparing Overshot for Double Patterned Cloth

**Sinking vs Rising Shed Looms**

​Weaving on a sinking shed loom? Where there was reference to the bottom layer, the top layer will be woven and visa-versa.  Basically it's no problem whether you are using a sinking or rising shed loom, tie them up the same.

**Sett for Overshot-Patterned Doubleweave**

​Sett usually needs to be about double the sett as for plain weave with the same yarn. We have found that I use a slightly loose plain weave sett and double it for this technique. As always, sampling is recommended!

**Tubular Hems**

When preparing double cloth, one advantage is that tubular hems can be woven to eliminate the need to make a bulky tri-fold hem. Tubular hems are especially effective on table mats and runners.&#x20;

The hems are simply woven in a tube by altering the treadling as shown below.  Typically the tubular hems are woven with one shuttle and color, resulting in a somewhat random striped look.  Weave a tube long enough to turn the raw edges in, press, and hand or machine stitch the edges closed.

**Viewing the Double Patterned Overshot**

When using the View function or Cloth Simulation,  click "double weave" for a more realistic rendering of the front and back of the cloth. &#x20;

**Weaving on a Table loom**

Use the Step 2 8-treadle design method, then convert to a tie-up.
