Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques
>Just my $.02... when I was working on designing the paper that I first used for my weaving, my engineer Dad sat down and measured several pieces of my tablet weaving... the average graphic unit of one thread over one "bar" was 3.1 times as long as it was wide. If you measure your *own* pieces, you'll be able to figure out how your beat turns out. PatternMaker can do some of these tricks, but it doesn't do well converting square patterns to oblong graph; it just makes them look squashed. Michael< Or you can adjust the picture. ;-> My computer-programmer husband went about the problem from the other end. I wanted to use two cards together (S and Z) for each pixel, so he scanned in my image and stretched (or squashed) it to fit my needs (depending on whether I was weaving the image up-right on on it's side). Handy having a computer geek around.
