Layout Panel

drawdown layout panel

The Layout panel allows you to choose the orientation of threading, tieup and treadling drafts.

Draw Down makes treadling run from the top downwards. Draw Up makes treadling run from bottom up, and matches the weavers viewpoint of the cloth while actually weaving.

The placement options set the order of shafts and treadles in threading and treadling drafts. If Thread Numbering is turned on while you select orientation, you can see exactly what is happening in your drafts.
