I have been advancing the cards a little more than a little beyond where they are supposed to be and then back to their proper position. That and good tension seem to help this problem a lot.

I hope you don't mind if I ask a technical question every now and then, since I really want to learn and you guys know more than I do. I am experiencing a little problem with my bands which a tip from you might help me solve. It is this, sometimes, as I open the shed, not all the threads get opened the right way and when I passing my shuttle back and forth, I get some horizontal threads in the back which ruin the design, as the thruttle passes over the threads that are out of place. Since I am learning from books and my books say that the way to open the shed is by moving the cards back and forth until the threads open, that is what I've been doing, could anyone here tell me if there is a way to make sure all of my shed is open so that the shuttle will pass through an open "channel" and not leave unsightly threads behind which marr the design of my band? Thank you! Clotilde
