4-Will you start your weaving from the TOP or BOTTOM of your design?
You should always start and end your weaving with 5-10 rows of plain basictabby (over under over under) that go all the way across your loom.
If you used a paper spacer at the top of your loom, you should start weaving from the top and work your way down. You can always hold your loom upside down to make weaving easier.
