    You will need to hem both pieces of fabric after you cut.

    Alternately you would cut the floats and carefully weave the ends into the fabric.

    Not what I hoped to hear but what I expected. The weaving idea crossed my mind and I suppose a better finish than a hem but extremely tedious. Thanks, I think hem it is.

    Just cut them tight to the selvedge and taking care not to nip the selvedge threads. There is no need to weave in the ends, they can't go anywhere.
