If one wishes to make a change from the regular crossing of warp and weft, in other words if the weft in to ride over several warp threads at once; the fabric loses much of its necessary strength. But if it is desired to work in a pattern by means of colored weft threads, then there is no alternative. There are two ways of meeting this difficulty. One way is to pass the weft threads through the warp threads as described above by moving the shuttle from right to left, and then passing through the colored weft threads afterwards, also from right to left.

The first thread ensures that the fabric remains film, whilst the second one merely serves to make the pattern. In order to be able to pass it through, properly, there must be some means of raising the warp threads in certain groups. For this purpose each the read of the warp has an adjustable heddle, and by means of a shed-stick the weaver can, achieve his object.

In various areas of Indonesia gold and silver threads are used to work in the pattern.
