I think it has to do with the limited use of TW -- trims and belts and
horse bardings -- that's about it. How many bookmarks can you actually
use (or give away for xmas)? TW has to have a practical application or it
isn't going to have much of a future.
I've made a couple tapestries of dbl weave bands sewn together, but that's
an ackward way to go about tapestry weaving, I gotta tell ya. ;-j You
can see them at the links below:

I'm still looking for the ideal modern use for TW.

I have an idea that it has to do with equipment. <<
If that was true, Linda, then why are your ply-split classes more in
demand?
The tools needed for that are truly minimal, even compared to
tabletweaving!
IMHO it's the complexity of tabletweaving that limits its popularity.
I've
taught both kumihimo and tabletweaving and I'll tell you that people
grasp
the braiding considerably easier and faster than the tabletweaving. And
they
get quicker results to show for their time. Of course, you could blame it
all on the instructor! <g>
Hugs again,
Louisa
