Hello David and everyone When you work through your 14 pairs at the picot side <g> are you weaving through them or are you wrapping the weaver pair over most? If you aren't trying the latter, that might help prevent breaking of threads. I read in Pam Nottingham's book on Bucks that with more than 5 pairs along that edge (yes the headside) you would wrap the weaver pair over each passive, rather than weaving, to permit compression without adverse tension (that last bit is my take on the reasoning). Weave through the pairs closest to the picot and wrap the weavers only, on the bulk of the threads where you have a whole lot of them at the headside.
