Sue,
Do a search on youtube for "tallies" and you should find the video clip.
If not, then you need a small square of stiff clear plastic (celulose
- like overhead projectors used to use).
Put a pin either side of the proposed tally about 1" (2.5cm) down at
a 45 degree angle, then drape the 2 outside bobbins around these.
They are the 2 used to maintain the tension. Now commence weaving and
tensioning after every 2nd pass.
This method works just as well for leaf shaped tallies too.
Good luck

I was looking in the arachne archives for the precise instructions
David in aus wrote out to pin his square tallies safetly for neater
tally making, but didn't find them. Found some part references to
it but not quite enough. Its been years since I made any square
tallies and I have never made all that many but would like to do
them for a small piece with some time limitations. I am setting up
another pillow to try out first but if David is reading I wonder if
you could tell me which pin holes you put pins into to support them
to help make at least a half way decent job of them without taking
years to practice.
many thanks
