I could not find a configuration in my house that would work to warp a 10-foot band with my little portable clamps, so I went over to Eugene Textile Center and found a reasonably priced used warping board. I got a crash course in using it, and went home and set up a warp about 4x wider than I ever had before.
Then I took this huge warp and chained it up and then tried to load it onto my box loom Easy Weaver and get it heddled correctly.
I thought I had succeeded, but when I tried to start weaving, I have two white threads crossing that won't resolve. I am going to have to untie the front apron and swap the position of those two strings in the heddle and tie it off again. I hope that's all I have to do to fix it. This is intimidating!!!
