A weaving friend of mine just came back from a workshop where she said the hardest part was weaving to square. What is that, and why is it important?
I was reading your article on Tied Overshot from Handwoven, and it doesn't look like the drawdown and treadling match in Figure 2, page 16.
The temple will keep the warp threads parallel to each other so that the reed doesn’t rub on them.
I have read in various places that you recommend using a temple (stretcher) as a means of getting good selvedges.
In a recent Ask Madelyn, you talked about temples. Did you really mean to say that you advance the temple every three quarters of an inch?
When and how do you insert a temple? They don't come with instructions!
There are some reasons to choose one temple over the other, but none are really “right” or “wrong.”
I know you recommend using a temple (stretcher) when you weave. I have had terrible luck doing that.
