Lock the warp beam
Reverse the Warp
Use this option to adjust the fell line if necessary.
1)
Make sure the pin is out of the cloth advance beam so that the cloth
will unwind easily
2)
In the software go to the Cloth Advance area.
3)
Use the down arrow to reverse the warp. Click the arrow until the
warp has reversed as far as you want it. Use the beater to adjust
the fell line.
4)
Reset the tension. Depending on how far you have unwoven, you
may need to rewind the warp onto the warp beam.
5)
Return the pin to the cloth advance beam.
Note:
If you cannot find the hole for the pin easily, move the cloth advance beam by
using the beater until you see the hole. The cloth advance beam will not wind
on cloth unless the pin is in the hole.
6)
If there is any slack in the cloth you can tighten up by using the
beater.
L
OCK THE WARP BEAM
There is a button that allows you to lock the warp beam in place. When the
warp beam is locked, the cloth advance is automatically disabled.
This feature could be used by weavers who want to be able to experiment
with placing wefts while manually advancing the cloth and letting off warp.
If you need to treadle through your pattern for some reason, you can use
this feature to avoid having the warp advance, however it is faster to turn
off the cloth advance without locking the warp beam. See page 62.
Note:
Change the pick with the right or left arrow keys while the shed is closed to
