INSTALLING THE TREADLE AID BAR
(BABY WOLF LOOMS ONLY)
For certain unbalanced weaves (i.e. 5/1
figurative boundweave twill, lace weaves,
etc.) it is helpful to prevent shafts from float-
ing when many treadles are tied up to just
one shaft.
1.
Locate the rear cross brace at the back of
the loom (figure 3).
2.
Mark the locations of the holes for the
treadle aid bar according to the measure-
ments in figure 4.
3.
Drill the holes using a 1/8" drill bit.
4.
Attach the treadle aid bar using the
1-1/4" screws.
5.
Starting at one end of the treadle aid bar,
push a treadle aid cord up through one of
the holes (an opened paper clip can be most
helpful with this step) and then over the 1/4”
dowel. Continue across the entire treadle
aid bar. Attach the treadle aid cords to the
ends of the treadles in the same manner as
you attached the tie-up cords that control the
lamms. (Figure 5)
6.
We recommend using a treadle aid cord
on all of the treadles.
