Hello all,
I've just spent the past month or two completely refinishing my four harness 40" Harrisville floor model. I've just measured out my first warp and am SO excited to get it on there, but lo and behold I've forgotten one major detail! Apron strings!
I had taken off lengths of grosgrain ribbon that had loops cut out at each end, looped and stapled into the cloth and warp beam, which was the choice of the previous owner. There are no holes drilled through my beams. The research I've done so far suggests texsolv cords, but at this moment I can't afford to buy and ship a spool of that over to me up in Canada, plus I am impatient and want to get weaving now!
Is re-doing the grosgrain and staples combination a good idea? Are there other materials I should consider?
Thank you thank you
