I having been weaving with a Spring ll for a few months. It’s a wonderful loom. I’ve had trouble with my last two warps. When I open my shed, the lower part of the warp is not flush with the shuttle race. I tried raising the beater bar but that did not seem to help. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks,
Judy

Hi Judy - I was hoping another weaver with a Spring loom might pop in. I have no experience with Springs - I weave on a David. However, there is a lot of information on the Knowledge Base on older Springs and if you have been able to weave a warp off successfully since you started weaving on your new Spring - it may be something discussed in this thread -

Let us know if you find the solution….

I’m not sure either especially since your loom is newer. I’m assuming the correct texsolv lengths were used for upper and lower. You’ve adjusted the beater. Is the warp over tightened? Could a thread be crossed so it’s preventing a full opening of the shed?
You wound the warp in the back correctly- over the back beam?
I did that once after threading oodles of heddles. Ugh.

I’d contact Louet on their website if all fails. . Dave is helpful and speedy. Let us know what you find.

Are you very sure there are no threads twisted around each other anywhere? That happened to me once. Otherwise contact Louet they are very helpful.
