Hello all,
I have a 24" rigid heddle loom. I haven't used it in many years, since I also have a floor loom, which is so much easier to get good tension on. However, I really need two looms going now, so I'm trying to get the tension better on the rigid heddle loom.
The problem with the Beka is that when the heddle is in the "up" position, the threads will all be tight, but in the "down" position, the top threads are tight and the bottom ones loose. Also, I have always had problems with random threads becoming looser as the weaving progresses, and sometimes whole sections of threads becoming looser.
I am winding on without tension, the same way I do on my floor loom. I would appreciate any advice people may have. Thanks.
