I have found the most helpful way to do this with weaving is to divide everything you can do on a shaft loom into three categories: plain weave, twill, and block weaves.
Weavers continue to ask What If? They always will and weaving will continue to evolve.
Satin is the backbone of Jacquard weaving because the high warp-dominant vs weft-dominant contrast creates wonderful patterning possibilities.
Many weavers are their own worst critic and sometimes it takes time to truly appreciate what you what woven.
