I warp from front to back. I have found that no matter what I do, my warp ends are at different lengths once they are threaded through the heddles. If I have a fairly wide warp, I usually wind more than one chain.
I am weaving a chenille afghan and using a temple to keep my edges straight. The afghan is 56” wide on loom, and I wanted the finished width to be about 50”. My question is what width should I set the temple to?
What is the sweet spot, and how often should you be advancing the warp so you're always weaving in it? Madelyn shares her keys to weaving in the sweet spot.
Most projects need some sort of finishing touches, whether it is knotting, twisting fringe, hemming, or clipping and sewing in ends. And even then, an experienced weaver will tell you that the project still isn’t finished.
I’ve taught a fair amount of beginning weaving on rigid-heddle and floor looms, and I’ve noticed that many beginners are self-critical about their selvedges and beat.
I’m wanting to weave my first piece in deflected doubleweave but I’m not sure how to handle the selvedges (I have to weave 4 picks of one color followed by 4 picks of another).
I have only been weaving for three years and am fascinated with doubleweave, but how do I determine the sett for a doubleweave project?

Perhaps the coolest thing about weaving these little market vegetables is learning to think differently about these little squares.
Kicking the weaving rock means trying new things without a really firm plan in mind. About 15 years ago, I wove a striped rep weave runner.
