Hi Sandra,
My loom is an 8 shaft Leclerc Compact. This problem doesn’t occur with every project but it has happened enough times to make it annoying as well as time consuming. I don’t know if it’s the point twill threading, the tromp as writ treadling, the tie up or none of the above.
Because I’m a little old lady and can’t get under the loom any more, I installed a cord for every shaft on every treadle so that I’m ready for any tie up. To tie up, I close the loom – with a little help from my daughter, and I sit on a low stool to tie up the treadles. Works great for me!
