Back to front warping means that you start by beaming the warp. The warp passes through a cross held in place by lease sticks that keep the order of the individual threads and through a raddle that maintains warp width. Then you thread the heddles and sley the reed, sitting at the front of your loom.
Warping a loom back to front can be a good choice if you're sleying multiple ends per dent. The ends pass through the cross and are beamed in their correct order before they are threaded. With front-to-back warping, the ends in one dent can become twisted around each other between the reed and the heddles, making beaming more difficult.
