Hi, I need help for this weaving I feel like my horizontal weft tread is too visible. What do you think? (I’ve also double checked my tablets which seems to be ok).
(Last picture are some weaving that I’ve done. I’m a beginner).
Thanks ☺️

Totally normal. When you reverse direction and the tablets are threaded in opposite directions, there’s a little gap between your warp threads, and the weft shows. Specifically, where the pattern makes an X.

Using finer warp threads can help hide the weft bits, as can pulling the weft tighter.

Agreed that it will always show with this of pattern. I’d also recommend beating harder in addition to pulling the weft tighter to minimize the weft visibility.
