I am not sure how to use sticks, but I will look into it and ask my guild before starting my next project. Paper certainly is a hassle, especially with 23" weaving width on a 26" loom (Baby Wolf) and 30" wide paper! I started with paper towel cardboard rolls cut down the length. I think that was a mistake because of the overlap required to cover 23". So, maybe I will rebeam...
My warp is 10 yards, so fairly long. And because I am using four colors, I measured and chained each color separately - sort of a nightmare. All in all, it is a good learning experience! And still fun, no matter how much more work I might create for myself.

The one project I've done using a longer warp (10 yards+), I had to rebeam twice and it didn't tension correctly until I had a friend come and keep tension on the whole thing while I wound it. > > I"ll admit that I usually find paper more of a hassel than it is worth and will use sticks if needed. > > John Sandstrom >
