Hi there, I'm a new weaver. I have been tying on the lease sticks as Jane recommends (down, down, up, up), so that there's a cross and the lease sticks can move freely. The problem I am running into is that as I wind on the warp, the lease sticks move towards the back beam and they constantly need to be pushed forward. Am I missing something? Thanks so much. Anna

That sounds normal to me. I know weavers who wind till the lease sticks hit the back beam. Insert sticks at the wound warp at this point, push the lease sticks back forward and wind some more.
