To be honest, I don't know. I personally never liked naming a specific subsection of a trace style much... Like how I don't like naming shadow tracing as such. I think all tracing should have shadow tracing elements to make them look good.

but threading is easy to define, so here you go. you make a circle with your arm and glowstick. you push the glowstick through it. oldest trick in the book. you see paul doing it in videos so old they aren't even available on GS.C publically anymore.

weaving, i think it's the same as threading personally-- some people say I weave, okay, I weave =D. weaving I guess means a thread but instead of just a single push in, you weave yourself around a few times. i do it running up my arms to smooth out all my throws and traces around my body.

by the way, those two aren't moves, they are concepts.

yea names throw me off too.. i just do stuff, then people come up to me and say like "dude show me that one weave you just did!" and i just get all confused. apperently people have names for alot of the things i do. i just move my sticks in pretty designs...

here's my (probably wrong) interpretation of the difference. threading is what i see as like putting a thread through the loop of a needle. hence the hoop made by arm or leg or neck or whatever, and the stick is pushed through all threadlike!

weaving to me is alot like basket weaving.. you dont just stick one thing through but you make somewhat repetative patterns in the air with miner alterations as you go along as if you're weaving using two bamboo strips looping through the basket. (check the next like wooden chair with the weave in it. thats how i pictured it.

but then again... thats just what i think it is... i have no idea what most of your names means so this was a guess to ><

I thought threading/weaving is the same thing. I use both words to describe that "making a hole with your arm and body, and push my other arm/limb through" motion.
