Hi Carl,
I agree with Chuck that trying to get the wefts back where they belong is virtually impossible, as you cannot get the tension back. As he says, take the lower part of the red wefts, and secure that all along the top and bottom. It is monotonous work, but doable. Years ago my husband spent many evenings just going over our rugs, and securing both ends. We once bought a rug that had been secured using a sewing machine. I am sure it is a whole lot faster, but to me it somehow just looks 'wrong' on a hand woven rug.
