Should beater be able to go all the way to front beam? Seems like it should, but it gets caught on diagonal bars on left/right that allow Dorothy to fold for traveling. Anyone have advice?

On my 1972 Dorothy the beater will hit the side brackets if the top part of the beater moves a bit out to the sides because of the wing nut/bolt holding the beater top on the reed is loose.  That causes the whole bar holding the beater to move sideways just a bit.  Don't know if that's the case with your loom or not.

Thank you again. I did play some more with adjusting wing nuts and centering beater and get a smooth swing now. On to warping for simple dish towels!

I hope you'll post photos in projects of your weaving adventures.
