Man, sometimes the obvious is hard to see. You have a way of giving that ah-ha moment and not make one feel silly for not realizing how simple the answer is. Thank you!
A skeleton tie up is helpful. Treddle envy early in my weaving journey had me purchase a 16S at a weak point with 18 treddles. Use my 4S more often, however. Thanks for the reminder to get out Dixon.
Wow! A 16-shaft loom is intense! That's so interesting that you use the 4-shaft more often. It's funny how we can go through phases! Thank you for the comment!!
Wow! Chris, you can read my mind! I started to learn weaving on a floor loom recently and was wondering about the right solution to this exact question a couple days ago. Thank you so much for explaining this. 😃
Thank you Chris for the video. Now that I understand the extra treadles on my 12 shaft loom I have to get my head around the 14 treadles. Thinking I will just ignore the extra ones on the left and right and just use them if needed for a pattern.
I am doing my first project. I am trying to sley the reed and I want to be sure I cut my yarn at the right time. Do I cut it after I place my lease sticks through the cross and right before I intend to slay the reed? And where do I cut it? My project is still on the warp board. I am not sure what my next step is.
I was looking at that exact Rose Pattern draft, and figured that you'd have to tie up each shaft to one treadle, and then press two or more treadles at a time to make them work. How is this going to work for a counter-balance loom, though? Do I need to have a shed regulator to make this work?
Hi! Great question! On page 35, they're showing a twill, and for a twill, floating selvedges are recommended. They will allow you to use the same treadling multiple times. Let me know if that helps!
@@lindaakers2991 Ha! I understand how it can feel very overwhelming at times! Just take it one step at a time - I know you can do it! I'm here for you!
