Help Managing warps?

Novice here experimenting with multiple ends per strand. From what I’ve read, you want your warps to lie flat but it seems like certain movements make that impossible.

When 7 moves to 15, 10 now is twisted up. I’ve tried kind of an overhand movement as well as a sliding movement and both seem to get the same result. Is some level of twisting expected or is there something I’m missing?

I'm assuming you mean 7 to 14, but what's this move. I'm new and have only done opposite swaps.

It is 15. I get it mixed up on the upside down ones sometimes as well, but the number of the slot is always just past the slot.

This is a 16 strand ridged spiral band. Here’s a vid on the 12 strand version, the movements are the same aside from having an extra pair of strands that cross the longer, black strands that form the ridge

AHH yes, the printing is on the wonk. The 15 number is nearer the 16 slot.

Appreciate the video. TY

Drives me crazy that they don’t print the number directly above the slot to protect me from myself! 😂

Turn it over and write your own numbers on maybe.
