• One special character of songket is that the design is made using tekat effect, where the extra thread float over a fixed number of ends.
• Tekat-3 will see the extra weft floats over 3 ends and under one; tekat-5 will see it floats over 5 ends and under one.

• CREATING SONGKET LIFT PLAN • 1st THE MOTIF• DECIDE HOW MANY NUMBER OF
HEALD FRAMES ARE REQUIRED.• DESIGN MIRROR MOTIF = 5
SQUARES and FOR TEKAD 3 REQUIRES 4 HEALD FRAMES EACH, HENCE 5 x 4 =20 FRAMES (FORGET ABOUT MINIMISING THE HEALD FRAMES FOR THE TIME BEING)
• IF NEEDED, ADD ANOTHER 2 FOR PLAIN WEAVE TO SEPARATE THE MOTIF
