When I added 4 more shafts to my Spring to make it 12, I moved the bumper hole/slot just a bit higher. Louet already had a hole there ready for the bumper. Yours may not have that but its a simple thi

A doubling stand will tend to wind the yarns at an uneven tension and mess with you. The trick is to apply a lot of tension when winding on. Thread them thru your fingers for the tension. Also if you
