Hello,
I recently purchased a new 16 harness Ashford table loom. My other loom is a Leclerc Dorothy, so the texsolv heddles and tie-up chords are new to me. For the most part, the set up was very straight forward, but I had some trouble tying up the harnesses. The diagram shows that the last harness raises more than the first, with all the ones in between stepping up gradually. My back ones raise more than the ones in front, but the stepping is kind of messy and not very exact, despite working for hours on it. I am not looking forward to ever adding/removing heddles from my frames, because the tie-up is such a nightmare and I'll need to do it all again if I ever remove the harnesses. Does anyone have a good technique for doing this? How exact does it need to be?
Thank you!
