collapsing loom for travel

I'll be going on a trip and want to collapse my loom with a warp on it (and possible weaving started) to fit in my suitcase. Any trick to this? Also I have bottom coils, which I have not attached yet. Will the bottom coils get in the way of advancing the warp, ie, how do you attach  them without obstructing the header? Thanks for any info.

Assuming you are weaving tapestry, just make sure your spring bar is in your warp coil (it should be anyway but it is really important that your warp threads stay in the warp coil). We also suggest putting rubber bands around the spring just to make sure everything stays in place. After you do that, simply reduce the tension on your loom, squish the loom and weaving down and pack! When you get to your destination put the tension back on and it should be good as new.
