If you're trying to make ribbon for wrapping gifts or whatever then it's not worth the effort, but if you're doing it for something else, then there are all sorts of tricks that help.
Do you fancy a chat via Zoom, Discord, etc? I could probably show you some things more easily than trying to describe them.
I don't think sewing thread is worth bothering with.
There are tricks for getting an even start to the work, ways of avoiding the warp threads twisting (though not worth using on a zig-zag as that should be self-correcting) (and incompatible with continuous warping)
And there's an easy way of telling where you are on a zig zag pattern without counting rows.
