Is your project already on the loom and you want to widen it? Or, is your project measured, but not put on the loom yet, or in some stage of dressing the loom like maybe just sleyed into the reed? Or, is your project still in the planning stage? Tell us more so we can be of help!

Adding threads at the end is easy - at the  WIF set up screen edit the field for the number of ends to add on the number you wish.  So if you want to add 10 and you have 164, change the number or ends to 174.  At the threading screen, go to 164 and then enter the ends you wish.

At the beginning is more complicated since  WIF 'n Proof currently does not support inserting ends.  Lets say you want to add 10 at the beginning.  In the Level 1 repeats screen, enter ends 1 to 2, repeat 6 times and process.  This will add 10 ends at the beginning which you can edit as you wish.

There is a major update in the works which will change the methods used to enter threads and picks.  No date yet, but this major update will support inserting and deleting, and will be free to all registered users.

Hi, my design is just in the planning stage but i did do the warp. Mistake. Should have planned first. Did the warp with 390 threads. So now need to make the pattern work. Would like to add a plain weave selvege. Not sure how to do this
