Last night I realized the 1 1/2 foot of space behind the warp beam of the AVL is insufficient to beam a warp. Not only did I wind up with several broken ends but I also did not place the cap on the raddle and not once but TWICE did the raddle slip of the loom and ends were misplaced.
I finally did manage to get the warp beamed nicely and will have to wait and see how many ends need to be replaced. On that note:
Remember to always secure the raddle (even if mounted on posts)
remember to always place the cap on top and secure (rubber bands will not hold the threads as securely in place of the cap)
Try to have several feet behind the loom or at the front to allow for less tangling of the warp.
