I am a new weaver and am having all the regular issues with draw-in, uneven selvedges, etc. I am learning to deal with them. But the biggest problem is that my shuttle wants to 'dive' down through the bottom threads of the shed. I have tried more tension, less tension, pulling the thread out before throwing the shuttle, throwing faster, slower, everything I can think of. I have ended up simply passing the shuttle from hand to hand inside the shed, which you can imagine is quite awkward, and would be impossible if my towels were wider. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening or why? Any suggestions would be appreciated. - Jen
