Debbie,
With countermarche looms every treadle has to be tied either has be tied to every shaft either up or down. If you want to raise shafts 1 and 2, 3 and 4 need to be tied to the lamms to lower them at the same time. At least is is only 4 shafts. It can get very labor intensive tying up an 8 or 12 shaft countermarche loom. I did a google search for tying up a countermarche loom and there is a good description and diagram on the All Fiber Arts site.There was also an article in weavers issue 26 that there is a copy of on line also. Good luck, Sharon
