Hi All,
I'm trying to learn the ins and outs of my recently acquired 16 shaft Toika. This forum has been very helpful, along with some of the books mentioned. I've been weaving on a CB and a jack for over 20 years, but this CM feels like a whole new breed of animal. So I apologize for the dumb question in advance, but here goes: What should I be doing with the unused shafts? Do I need to remove them or do they remain on the loom? If they remain in place, would I push the heddles out of the way and thread the front shafts, back, alternate, ect?
Thanks for your help!
Mary
