Tug that weft up until the it's completely warp faced and try weaving. When I inkle weave after I change sheds I give that weft a little tug also to keep any loops or unevenness off those edges - you'll develop a rhythm in it just like on the floor loom. <br /><br />So keep going on this warp - use it as your learning warp. After you've woven an inch or so if there are threads that are of uneven tension just pull them and put a pin through the them into your 1" of inkle weaving to pull them tight - then go on weaving. <br /><br />Have fun with it!Cindie https://www.blogger.com/profile/00417973211775970549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726925334003624379.post-92091280333215149972014-05-04T04:51:24.324-07:002014-05-04T04:51:24.324-07:00I think it is probably all part of the learning pr...I think it is probably all part of the learning process. I am going to get myself a table loom for my birthrate this summer, I can't wait.

I would suggest you start with a fresh warp and pull the weft a little tighter holding the right edge with you fingers. You don't want to see the weft in the weave. And for practice, start with the shortest warp length. You'll get it!!
