If you want to shorten the ends of
the cords, you will need to melt
the ends after cutting to avoid
unraveling, or cut the cords by
melting. Use a lighter or a
soldering iron.
The plastic pieces act as a catch
on the beater as you swing it
forward, increasing the active
weaving area and creating an
optimal shed.
If your beater does not catch
properly as you move it forward,
you can adjust the plastic pieces
by adjusting the screw, as shown
on the picture.
Using the pilot holes, screw the
four buffers onto the side of the
loom (indicated by red arrows in
the picture). When folded, Jane
can stand on this side.
