Any small cutting device or scissors does the job admirably well. Yoga blocks are helpful to raise the loom high enuff to get a cone or spool of warp under the beam. Also note the beginning knot. Note the beginning tie on the left in blue you can see the future tie on to end the warping pattern. The first and last warps are not woven on. See Tapestry for the how to illustration for tying these two knots. There will be an empty warp thread on both sides of the weaving.

They can be used to check spacing and pull-in or pull out by comparing the distance between the first an last warp and the weaving. Being able to move the fell line around the beams allows you to weave on the back and the front and keep the fell line at slightly below the shoulders and above the elbows-breast height.

Space the warps a bit. This is really important. Check between the layers of weft and at the back top and bottom beams. Heddles come on a spool. Heddles are uncut , on a spool cut through the small slit not the long slit. This also gives you something to use to check the order of the warps at the top spring. It will be pulled out once the heddles are on.

A really common error occurs and can really narrow the sheds-reducing them to nothing. Note the difference in the two photos. Do the bottom row of heddles. Again, when you reach the middle make sure the heddles split on the half way mark at a degree angle. This might be a good time to see if half way is matching up on both bars.
That little doohickey in the middle that the rod goes through can split the wefts and warps apart creating crossed heddles between the two sets of heddles or pull them in such a way to create a gap between warps as you weave. Optional- Twine across the warp from side to side right under the spring, but above the heddles.
Tie off at the correct width of the spring. This helps keepe the spring from stretching out of place over time. When you do turn the warp around the beam it is easy just to.

Tighten the warp if the tension of the warps feels or looks uneven or loose in any where. Walk away from the loom and leave it sitting overnight. Come back and it should be tensioned evenly.
Cautionary notes when you do this. Make sure you tighten the wing nuts on the side the same distance use a ruler to. It saves the wrist and fingers. Yeah, that funny looking flat thing with the slot that comes with the loom is an incredible wrench.
