Indeed. That's important to remember not only for when you want a twist (or more), but also for when you don't. As in, for example, Flanders, where the gimp hugs the motif tightly, without any intervening twists on the pair entering or exiting but where the same pair does need a twist between the gimp and the ring pair.

For that situation, I use a mnemonic "right enters triumphant and leaves down-hearted" ie, "lift the right" when entering the cloth motif area but "lift the left" when leaving it.
