This paper discusses the characteristics of cloth formation in weaving as regards continuous weaving, the concept of balanced weaving is put forward, and an equation of balanced weaving is then established for analyzing the response of the weaving process to disturbances of various kinds. Based on the analysis of beat-up resistance and weft yarn bouncing back, the cloth formation area is defined as an indicator of the weaving conditions. These discussions lead to control of fabric parameters.
