YARN/THREAD LENGTH: A short length of yarn or thread may require frequent stops and restarts and can be prone to unthreading. Conversely, an overly long length can lead to tangling. An ideal yarn length is approximately 16 inches (~41 cm) when doubled, or 32 inches (~81 cm) in total.

LOOSE WARP LOOP: If a warp loop falls off, carefully replace it on the original hook, maintaining tension.

TAMPING DOWN ROWS: Tamping down each weft line after weaving is vital to maintaining even and accurate results.

CROOKED PATCH: Starting and stopping the weaving outside of the marked square will result in a crooked final patch. Warp yarns tacked down unevenly from the top horizontal edge will also result in a crooked final patch.
