What to do if the shed won’t open on my Schacht Weaving loom?
If the shed won't open on your Schacht Weaving loom, here are a few things to check: * **Jack lock pins:** Make sure the jack lock pins have been completely removed. * **Tie-up cords:** Verify that the treadle-lamm cords are correctly tied in the appropriate holes. * **Yoke cords:** Ensure the yoke cords are properly connected to the corresponding lamm.
Why is the shed too small on my Schacht Weaving loom?
If the shed on your Schacht Weaving loom is too small, consider the following: 1. **Shaft Adjustment:** The treadles may be hitting the lower lamm. Adjust the shafts accordingly. 2. **Heddle Eye Position:** Ensure the heddle eyes are centered within the shed. Adjust the shafts to allow the warp to pass through the center of the heddle eye. 3. **Back Beam Placement:** If the warp isn't going over the back beam, remove the beam, place it under the warp, and reinsert it.
What to do if the lower shed is uneven on my Schacht Weaving loom?
If the lower shed is uneven on your Schacht Weaving loom, check the tie-up cords to the upper lamms. Lift up on the shafts to identify the shaft that is causing the problem and adjust the corresponding tie-up cord accordingly. Ensure that upper lamms are all tied in the black mark.
What to do if the upper shed is uneven on my Schacht Weaving loom?
If the upper shed is uneven on your Schacht Weaving loom, check the tie-up cords to the lower lamms. Lift up on the shafts to identify the shaft that is causing the problem and adjust the corresponding tie-up cord accordingly. Ensure that lower lamms are all tied in the red mark.
