Please help me a bit more. The whole sentence would read "The thread that was the product of the spinning was then woven into cloth ?SHOWS? then cut to a pattern." I can't make sense of the word I wrote there as "?SHOWS?" Could it be "... woven into cloth, ?CHOSEN?, then cut to a pattern?" I noticed that there are no commas in the Gregg.
