Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques
The N African tablets made with playing cards had 4-holes burnt in them. This gave a smooth-edged hole. Drilling a set, clamped between boards, also works well. Roman tablets are often decorated with little circular incised designs, showing that they did have drills. Ancient four-sided tablets with six holes, two in the centres of opposite sides, really puzzled me when writing TTW. I tried threading all six and got nowhere. Then I realised that those two extra holes were meant to be used alone... and I suddenly discovered all the two thread techniques. See Appendix in TTW.
