Perhaps the sticks for the apron cords are the key here.<br /><br />Anyway, I appreciate all the comments. I learn a lot from everyone elses experience.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-80589957337895989142006-12-28T11:00:00.000-05:002006-12-28T11:00:00.000-05:00I'm wondering if Peggy Osterkamp is referring to a...I'm wondering if Peggy Osterkamp is referring to a sectional warp beam when she says that? I've tried plastic mini-blind slats and found that they deformed unevenly, which gave me more tension problems. Perhaps that wouldn't happen with the older metal (or perhaps heavier, higher quality plastic)? Or perhaps the sticks used at the beginning would be a help. My dh ended up making lathing strips of pine for my two smaller looms. The 36" loom came with a big roll of corrugated cardboard. The cat loves to hide and sleep in that as it rolls off the warp beam when the weaving progresses.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226371437929271405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-17842850816180252752006-12-28T02:39:00.000-05:002006-12-28T02:39:00.000-05:00Just wanted to update you on my knitting...

I rest my project (which is over a foot long now) on my knees and hold the needle under my arm...it is working out very well for me and now I just have to stop poking my fingers with the needles all the time. I'm sure that will come with time. Thanks so much for your tip. I should post a picture. I'll let you know when I do.Renee Nefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167893445846427824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-21248840256975432632006-12-23T20:19:00.000-05:002006-12-23T20:19:00.000-05:00YOU ARE BRILLIANT!

I was going to use paper when I wind on my huck lace warp, but methinks I'll look for a miniblind instead!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11706897871184267996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-22449459838747401232006-12-23T10:07:00.001-05:002006-12-23T10:07:00.001-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Laritzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380883584186444453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-25097973561580476312006-12-23T10:07:00.000-05:002006-12-23T10:07:00.000-05:00I went through the very same process and ended up ...I went through the very same process and ended up with blind slats just like you. What I had not figured out was to use sticks in the first section. Thanks for posting this. That should take care of it!Laritzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380883584186444453noreply@blogger.com
