Without seeing the tying on process, I don't understand why you had to cut the finished cloth off the loom. Why couldn't you keep the finished fabric on and still pull the warp and rewind it? 💕🌞🌵😷

[@MargeryErickson]

Good question. Since the warp slipped off the paper, if I had kept weaving when I reached the problem wind on the tension along the edge of the fabric would have been a problem. It probably be too loose. I could have kept weaving…and deal with it when it happened. Instead I decided to fix it ahead of time.

@@MargeryErickson , but wouldn't it be easier to treat when you got there? I watched your video on broken warp threads and that procedure seems a lot easier. Or instead of cutting your fabric off, couldn't you pull the warp off of the back roller bar (like you showed in this video) adjust those one or two warp threads as you are rolling back onto the back roller bar (like you showed in this video) and pull up any excess thread and weave the ends in later? However, cutting the fabric means I can to start using my fabric sooner, but doesn't cutting also means there is more waste than I calculated? What if my project doesn't allow for waste? How would adjust the couple of warp threads if you didn't have any allowance for a second tie on? 💕🌞🌵😷

I had something like this happen in the past and did not know it happened until I was weaving along and the selvage on the one side was giving me problems. The tension was too tight. It was a mess. This time I decided to be proactive and not take any chances. Yes there was more loom waste. If. you don't have extra yarn you may need to add/tie on yarn to the shorter selvage yarn and then weigh them over the back beam. Looking for a solution is a good idea. There is usually a way. Or you woven project becomes something else. Been there!

@@MargeryErickson , oooooh! Thank you soooo much for your reply... because I was thinking the opposite... that there would be extra warp on that selvage. Now I understand. 💕🌞🌵😷 (For anyone else reading this comment, I watched her video about fixing a broken warp thread and she thoroughly shows and explains this tying on and hanging the warp in the back of the loom that she mentions in the comment above.)
