I use the counter for winding my warp as well.Irene Adlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215686951866403945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238597745667697533.post-60125715281138813802010-01-06T15:49:19.793+01:002010-01-06T15:49:19.793+01:00What an excellent idea!

I haven't done a really difficult treadling sequence in a long time however. I'll have ato remember your method.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238597745667697533.post-23744090760368080132010-01-04T21:09:33.013+01:002010-01-04T21:09:33.013+01:00This was a very smart way of keeping track!

Up til now I've had no method at all, except for hoping that nobody interrupts me, which of course is quite hopeless!charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14536773648371607808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238597745667697533.post-1631511274878500072010-01-04T10:06:03.614+01:002010-01-04T10:06:03.614+01:00Thanks Sue for pointing to your posts, I remember ...Thanks Sue for pointing to your posts, I remember the first one, the second I must have missed.<br /><br />Susan, also good to be pointed to your posting.<br />I do not use the cash register tape all the time but when weaving samples I find it a good way of remembering what has been woven. I have used adding a thread at the side too when it was not very clear where one sample ended and other starts.<br />I just found this method handy for what I'm weaving just now on a table loom.<br />If I weave on the big Glimakra, it might be totally different as you than have to remember what order the treadles have to be used.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br />MargreetMargreethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523746856134451449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238597745667697533.post-44131836005154277722010-01-04T04:46:23.794+01:002010-01-04T04:46:23.794+01:00Good post!

(It's a floor loom). But recently when I was doing a shadow weave project where I had to alternate shuttles, I had to keep count mentally (or out loud) or I'd lose my place.<br /><br />Your idea about cutting out the draft and attaching it to the tape seems great!! I'm still trying to figure out what works best for me, so I'll be interested to see what other weavers say!<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.com
