Dear Tabby,
For some reason my rigid heddle reed keeps falling over when I put it in the up position. What’s going on?

Dear Newbie,
If your heddle is falling over in the up position, you do not have enough tension on the warp. Just cranking up the tension on the warp should take care of this problem. Likewise, if your loom is at an angle, and the reed slides down in the down position, you again need to crank up the tension.
Happy Weaving, Tabby
