s weave!
Now that the loom is up and running, connect the
computer to the control box, then open the
Weavepoint program. Open the draft you want to
weave and under the
“
Weave
”
menu select
“
Loom
Control
”
(fig. 1).
This brings up the selection box in fig. 2. The Lift-
plan button should be checked. The boxes for Start
and End Pick allow you to set the length of your
repeats. If every pick is written out in your draft,
the starting pick will be 1 and the end pick will be
the last pick in your draft. However, sometimes
you will have a treadling section that repeats and
you can use these buttons to set the point at
which it repeats back to the beginning.
Once these settings are as you like, click OK.
This brings up the screen you will see while weav-
ing (fig. 3).
