Linda Hendrickson explains how to put a reed on a tablet-weaving warp so the result is a soft, drapable fabric rather than a firm warp-faced band. The article gives equipment and materials for a 16-section sampler in 5/2 pearl cotton, with instructions for building a portable tablet loom from a board, tensioning blocks and C-clamps. It also covers sleying tablets in a reed, using a shed stick, and turning sequences for each section. The sampler covers basket/plain weave, log cabin, double weave, gauze weave, gauze diamonds and a plain-weave variation. Photos, diagrams and a page of simulated cloth images illustrate the process, and a short bibliography is included.
