The heddle bar supports are off center. These are what you open when threading to allow heddles to move freely. There are 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom. This problem is very apparent when using a raddle.
When the warp is centered on the warp beam it has to shift right in order to be “centered” on the heddles. The warp does not flow in a nice straight line from the warp beam through to the cloth beam.
As I see it I can do one of two things:
1. Mark a new “center” on my raddle so it lines up. Adjust the warp beam tie down and the reed, etc., accordingly.
2. Disregard the supports as the center and line up the heddles using the new center.
What about you? How do you compensate for this annoying situation?
