Thank you very much for kind words!!! :)
For clean selvedges I used fishing lines on both sides as floating selvedges, which I took out after finishing weaving:) but instead of winding them together with the warp threads on the back beam I hung heavy weights. So my floating selvedges also worked as a temple to keep my fabric from a draw in :) oh, and I also doubled warp threads on the selvedge (1cm)
