Which way should the tension bar on my loom be facing - with the flat side towards me or away from me?  The rounded side is tapered, with the end closest in the picture, being narrower than the other end.

The top one has it curves the way the threads travel. The corners and flat part are inside the warp and would not abrade them.

Dust, oh the things we see after we take the photo!

Hi Karen,  thanks for your answer.  I'll go warp up the loom now.

I prefer to think it of it as a "protective coating."
