I have a 12 shaft AVL with Texsolv heddles. Some of the heddles are marked with color, but I don't know what the previous owner marked them with. It is much easier to thread with each shaft having a diferent color and I want to mark more of them. Does it matter what kind of marker I use? Washable (that wasn't used before, I don't think)? Permanent? Some kind of fabric pen? I don't want color to transfer to my project. Suggestions?
Thanks!
Why not number the shafts instead? Then it would not be a problem the day you want to move the heddles around...
Like Kerstin, I number the shafts, partly because I move heddles around a lot. I find I respond 'better' to numbers than to colours. I read the threading, which is in numbers, and then read the numbers on the shafts. I don't have to transpose numbers into colours.... :)
cheers,
Laura
