I am a complete newbie and have never even touched a loom yet. In about 2 weeks I will be picking up my new (to me) Harold floor loom. It has a sectional beam. However, I am wondering if it is beneficial for me to learn warping with a board first, then move on to an AVL warping wheel or other set up later? Purchasing the supplies for sectional warping seems costly so I thought if it's better to hold off and learn with a board first, then maybe I should do so. Or is it worth it to just jump in and get the supplies now?
Thoughts?
