Bias Strips are great for weaving rag rugs because they don’t leave lumps where the strips are seamed. This video shows a quick way to make bias strips.
This short video shows you how to add a repair heddle when a mistake is made in threading. I use a Glimakra loom but this may work on other looms that use Texsolv heddles.
This video gives a demonstration and discussion about making warp faced weave and twill band on a floor loom. The PDF pattern for this band can be downloaded by clicking the button at the bottom of this page.
This video demonstrated using a horizontal warping mill, tying a cross and removing the warp from the warping mill.
This video shows how to pre-sley a reed rather than using a rattle for spreading a warp out in preparation to beam on to the back beam when threading the loom from the back to the front.
When you pre-sley a reed and move the warp to the loom you have to move the lease sticks from the front of the reed to behind the reed. This video shows the steps in moving the lease sticks to the back of the reed.
This video shows how I use a trapeze to beam on to the back beam.
Have you had 2 or more warp chains and wondered how to combine them and still have a cross? This video shows the steps I use to combine 3 warp chains into one warp chain.
Have you ever wondered how a Glimakra Countermarch (CM) Loom works or why anyone would want one? Do you have a Glimakra CM loom that gives you problems? Did you know you can make your Glimakra CM loom do things no other loom can? Well check out my PDF of how to become a Glimakra Whisperer.
