Marg The Louet Magic is a dobby, I guess you could call it a rising shaft loom, but I had always understood Jack Looms to be specifically worked by a scissor action with direct links from one

Most AVL looms have rising jack action and Texsolv heddles that work very effectively. As does the Louet Magic. Marg Coe Sent from iDevice coeweaves.com e-weave-online.thinkific.com

Texsolv heddles "work" on any loom. They perform at their very best when used on looms that have shafts consisting of two bars where the height of the shaft is dependent on the length of the heddle -

The reason for that terminology is to differentiate from the Louet David, which is a sinking shed, jack loom: https://www.louet.com/david/ Best regards Ian Bowers (Dr) Managing Director

Both of my looms have Texsolv heddles. My 36” 4-shaft Schacht Standard is a rising shed jack. Shafts are Pushed up from below with scissor jacks... My 24” 8-shaft Ashford table loom is also a

My understanding is that Texsolve will work well on all formats of looms, with one exception, rising Jack looms. These jack looms hold the warp down on to the shuttle track at rest, and raises the

Here’s an article by Syne Mitchell about using Texsolv on her Baby Wolf. Evidently, it was successful. http://www.synemitchell.com/2009/07/10/texsolv-heddles-on-a-schacht-baby-wolf/ -- Sherri

The texsolv can work on larger looms with heavier shaft frames. It’s not successful on smaller looms or even large looms with lightweight frames as the frame will tend to creep up when tension is

I do not have a LeClerc Colonial but I do have a rising shed loom on which I replaced the metal heddles with Texsolv and experienced no problems with operation.

I put texsolv on my schacht 36” standard and it’s great ... I did it for the noise factor... it’s much more quiet now... also light treading for a jack of this type... Takes a bit to get used

Has anyone replaced metal heddles on a leclerc Colonial with texsolv? I’m thinking about replacing mine and was hoping to hear from someone who had...was it successful, are you pleased/glad you

Deb, Thank you very much. Perhaps she could private message me and we could start a more in-depth conversation. I would love to hear more stories. Cheers, Rebecca

Hi Rebecca, This is Deb, Sigrid Piroch’s daughter. Mom can tell you lots about Powell, even did a study group or workshop or both based on her work. I just happen to be up late online but will be

Hi, Everyone, Do any of you have access to Pamphlets published by Marian Powell about Shadow Weave? These are publications she sold with actual weaving samples for a dollar. I have one called: Multi

Soyoung I tried connecting from my Mac mini which is running High Sierra and it works perfectly. so the port on the megado is fine. Catalina just does not see the FTDI driver.

The ports on my MacBook Pro all work, I connect to a backup drive on a regular basis with no problem. But I haven’t checked the viability of the dobby port. I’ll try that today. Thanks. Cheryl

Hey Cheryl, the FTDI chips I think are only applicable to USB <> Serial cables, as the FTDI chip is doing translation between the two protocols. USB <> USB should work out of the box (should!) Not
