Get the Weavers Cloth Drum Tight:
Start by centering your high quality weavers cloth on the gripper strip frame.
Hold down the weavers cloth on one side of the frame while lifting and pulling the opposite side of the weavers cloth.
Lift and pull the weavers cloth tighter several times. When you put the cloth back down, the gripper strip teeth will grab the fabric.
Turn the frame 90 degrees and repeat this process.
Make sure the weave of the fabric stays straight as you complete this process.
Repeat on all sides until the weavers cloth is drum tight in the frame.
