Turn your Overshot into Double Weave with Fiberworks Software
About Turn your Overshot into Double Weave with Fiberworks Software
Did you know that any overshot pattern can be woven as a 4 shaft Doubleweave? It's true, and this patterned Doubleweave (sometimes called complementary plain weave) alleviates the problem of long floats that weaving overshot can sometimes bring. The threading conversion is tedious to do by hand, so we'll use the weaving design software Fiberworks to get it done quickly and accurately. We'll cover some quick basics of the software that will enable you to do this transformation even if you've never used it before. We will cover three different recipes to convert overshot designs into Doubleweave for three different loom setups: 4 shaft/4 treadle, 4 shaft/6 treadle, and 8 shaft/8 treadle. Plus, we'll look at how to use Fiberworks’ name-drafting tool, to set us up for designing Doubleweave name drafts. So, leave your float-length worries behind by converting those stunning overshot designs into amazing Doubleweave drafts! (Please note that the demonstrations will be done exclusively using the PC version of the Fiberworks Software. Some of the differences between the Mac and PC versions will be addressed.)
This class capacity is 50 students.

Jen Weber
Jen has been a fiber addict since the early 2000s. Her background in mathematics heavily influences her love of pattern, and she strives to translate such “heavy” topics into understandable projects for all of her students. While she teaches weaving, spinning, and dyeing, she discovered her true passion of Japanese Temari in 2011, and soon began traveling around the east coast teaching to guilds, conferences and private groups. Jen is an active member and certified teacher (shihan) of the Japanese Temari Association, as well as a member of various weaving and fiber guilds. She has had exhibitions of her original works, and has won awards for her temari in Japanese shows.
