The T'boli believe that the T'nalak is infused with spiritual meaning, and as such there are a variety of traditions surrounding its production and use.

 One should not step over a weaving in progress, and doing so is to risk illness.  Cutting the cloth will cause sickness or death, unless done according to traditions.
