Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques Hi Linda,

I agree that Staudigel's terminology, as you described here, is "nicer" in that the threading direction and twist direction are the same for forward turning. But... Collingwood's _Techniques of Tablet Weaving_ has been the standard reference for so long, and so many people use and teach his terminology, that I really don't think it's a good idea to try to change. Instead of making things easier, it will just make everyone's life much, much harder. I've never had much luck with left/right-threaded either. What we really need is some kind of unambiguous terminology that involves neither S/Z not left/right... or front/back, which I've also seen. I haven't come up with anything, but not for lack of thought. Ideally, something that can be abbreviated with one character for use in patterns. Other thoughts?
