Anyway, goal number 1 is getting the AVL going.
I'm still trying to figure out how the tieing-on
works--it appears the cloth isn't actually attached to the cloth beam,
and I don't know whether to think my brain really is going, or that I
actually understood what I'm reading!
Hi Holly -
The cloth *is* attached to the cloth storage beam, but that
beam does not put tension on the cloth. It is the sandpaper
beam that keeps the tension. You can start your weaving by
laying the ends over the sandpaper beam, without tying onto
the cloth beam. The sandpaper will hold the ends at the
correct tension, and you just start weaving and rolling the
cloth around the sandpaper beam. Then you have to transfer
it to the apron to be wound on the cloth storage, if you
want to continue without cutting the first item off.
I tie my warp to the apron right away, just like I do on
other looms. If you have any questions, give a holler......
I might be able to help.
