My warps tend to have many complicated colour changes and this often makes winding the warp on a board difficult or impossible. Having read quite a bit about sectional warping I decided to invest in a sectional beam for the spring II, a tension box and as I already have lots of old spools I built a spool rack from timber scraps and some threaded rod (bizarrely cheaper than non threaded). It allows for winding from up to 52 of my spools, as well as directly from shop bought bobbins and cones.
My sectional warping set-up for the spring II. I think it is generally quicker, certainly better for achieving an even tension and for longer warps. It suits my complex coloured warps, but does impose a certain control over your warp design, and fabric width as you must completely fill each section you use.
