I’m enjoying and learning from this series so much. But this is the first time I want to pull out my hair. I cannot get a clean shed with the supp warps. My threading is fine. 121212..33. 121212…44 etc. my sleying is killing me. How do you sley the first (of the 2 supp threads) 3 heddle or 4 heddle without twisting the threads? If my 3 or 4 shaft heddle is after the 1,2 run, then I have to cross over threads 15 and 16 to sley into dent for thread 13 and 14. So I consistently get crossed threads. I know others faced the same situation but I never saw a solution. I’ve tried slipping the thread under 15 and 16. And over 15 and 16. Either way, I get either shaft 3 twisted with its companion thread or shaft 4 twisted with its companion thread. When sleying, What do I do when I get to thread 13 and 14 and and shaft 3 or 4. I have pics if necessary. Help!

Sorry about the triple post. The website said that there was a problem loading the comment and to try again. (Which obviously I did multiple times) ;)

I am having the same issue. Did you find a solution? I am wondering if I need to change my threading to 121212....123123, just curious if there is another solution before I start rethreading.

Yes, that is what I did but when I step on the treadles to put in my header I am not getting a clean shed. Perhaps it's because I crossed one of the silks over a dent to the right. Which seemed to be the instructions in the PDF. Basically I threaded the first supplementary with threads 13 & 14 and the second one with threads 15 & 16. This is creating a cross at the reed and I am not getting a clean shed. I am going to try denting the supplementary with threads 15 &16 from the first repeat and threads 1 &2 of the second repeat.
