    I saw Mary Lee Hu demo this technique at the recent SNAG conference,
    and I believe that she pushed the weft down each row at a time using
    her fingers. I've been trying out the technique myself, and so far
    that works well to keep the design tight and even. 

Best wishes with weaving!
