Weaving with Zanshi
Переглядів 24111 місяців тому
Do you have thrums or bits of leftover yarn that you want to use? Have you ever heard of the "magic ball" and wondered if you could weave with a magic ball? Well, Zanshi is weaving with a magic ball of yarn (a ball of yarn made of up little scraps of yarn). Watch to find out how to tie them. Yes, there are many ways to tie a knot. This is the way we do it and it avoids the knot from untying its...
Using Voice Control with Weavepoint Treadle Tracking
Переглядів 345Рік тому
Weavepoint 9 has a manual treadle tracking for looms that are not dobby. Here's how you can control it with your voice on a Windows computer. Note, we really prefer the ipad and iWeaveit for this - see this video: ua-cam.com/video/wuaJ3xndZ4g/v-deo.html We love Weavepoint, but the Windows voice control isn't as nice as an ipad.

Quick Tip: Add a Leash to Your Heddle or Reed Hook!
Thank you so much for this! This is brillant! Clear no nonsense tutorial. I just set mine up.
Any suggestions on how to attach a second warp beam to the Eeva Loom
Toika has a second beam kit and that is probably the best way to do it. If you don't want to buy theirs, you can look at how they did it and make it yourself.
Where can I buy the design cards for the Studio/Silver Reed Electronic Card Reader
Genius idea.
thank you! that's a helpful tutorial!
Thank you. This helps so much.
Hola buenas tardes cuanto cuesta ese accesorio?????
Is there a newer version please
Sorry...these machines aren't really made anymore so there are no newer versions.
Great video How do you get the files to stay in the folder once you transfer them? I tried save as and the files were not there when I opened sewcat.
Sorry...I don't know. It's been a long while since I've used SewCat.
Thank you!
Works en Silver Reed sk280?
Have you had to disassemble/move this loom? How does that work?
Sorry...I have no had to move my loom. I've only had it for almost 4 years. Right now, it's on furniture sliders so I can shift it in the room. But if I had to disassemble, I'd need help to get the dobby down (it really does require 2 people because it's attached to the two wood supports). I can remove the shafts myself and honestly, if I had to take the frame apart myself, I'd do the reverse of what I did - put the clamps on then pop the wedges and use the walls to support the loom once the first side is off, then remove the warp/back beams. Clearly, this whole thing is easier with two people and if I have a choice, I'll do it with two. I just had no choices by the time I got the loom.
@@MitzyGoose Thanks. I just wasn't sure how easy/feasible it would be to disassemble or move this kind of loom. I was looking at one second hand recently. It doesn't have the dobby part but I was like "how would i even get this home?"
@@MrThom8804 The primary issue is having a vehicle large enough for the side frames. The rest of the parts are fairly easy, unless you have a Mazda Miata or VW Bug.
Great video!
Excellent video and explanation. Thank you so. much.
Thank you so much for doing this video
Thanks for this! what ipad holder are you using?
Sorry for the super late reply - it's just a cheap, clamp on gooseneck holder turned upside down. Similar to this one: amzn.to/3UFWjTd
So what happens when the threading is done? How does one go back to the original pattern?
You need to keep a copy of the original draft. Then, you close the treadle the threading version and reopen the original version to start weaving.
I'm very new to my dobby loom and this doesn't seem to work for me. When I go to clear the tie up, that was not a choice for me, so I cleared the lift plan which seemed to do the same thing. Next was clearing the threading, again that was not a choice for me. Where a line tool was used to make a diagonal line, again not a choice for me. So what am I doing incorrectly? Thanks
You need to use Tie Up and Treadling in the Options menu if you want to use the tie up (the diagonal line)
I am interested in the AG 50 electronic intarsia carriage. can you send a tutorial on this?
Thank you - genius, and reusable
Hi looking for some assistance in buying pattern sheets for this kr11 any help appreciated
You gave me the confidence to try this myself but not very successful! Would you be able to make your Illustrator template available? TIA
Many thanks!
will this work on a lk150?
Sorry, it won’t work on the LK150
Ingenious! Thanks for posting this!
This is genius -thank you!
So it’s a bit like the brother PPD.
Thank you! It didn't work the first time for me so I went back and did it again and now it works. I think when I clicked on the screen for the quester I let it play too long.
Thank you so much for this. It works brilliantly. Going to make so much difference. 😊
Best hint ever!
Great idea! You can also use tubular webbing to hold the rolls of pennies: woolly-logic.blogspot.com/2022/07/diy-knitting-machine-weights.html
Please where can I get a patterning device? I’m in Nigeria and I’ve not seen
Thank you very much. My machine doesn’t have that first loop but it works pretty fine
I really needed this tutorial to see the difference it makes.
This is great! I'm new to... well... everything! lol. But the fonts were bugging me so I got Alpha Tricks. Thank you for your videos!
thank you very much for the clear explanation ,I was looking for this tip and forgot where I have seen it .
Do you know of any way to change font colour in Alpha Tricks? I have a few purchased .bx fonts and one or two letters in the alphabet are a different colour. Rather than having to change them each time I use it, I wondered if there is a way to do it permanently.
Yes...but you have to decide if it's worth it to you. 1) Backup the original font files, JUST IN CASE. 2) Let's assume your H is a different color and you want to "fix" it. Type a letter in the "correct" color. Make SURE you know what color(s) that is (write it down or else you'll be doing this again!) 3) Create a new file. In Embrilliance, type an H so that you have a design that is just that letter. Make it the color you want (same as the other letters) Save the embroidery file of the H. 4) Go into alphatricks, delete the H. Then Add Design, select the embroidery design of the H. 5) Now, You may need to remap ALL of the letters to the correct letter of the alphabet (numbers and symbols too). Note, it always adds new stuff to the end. I haven't figured out how to move it to be in alphabetical order. If you use the font alot and manually correcting the color(s) of that letter is a pain so that it "sorts" together and embroiders without stopping, maybe this is worth it to you. We had to test it a few times and after all that, we'd be selective about "fixing" because it's a pain! We'd only fix "commonly used fonts" and just suck it up if we had to do a particular letter here and there.
Thank you very much for this. I managed to get voice control working on my iPad Pro, first iteration.
Excellent! Glad to hear it!
That's incredible great!!!! it's so much simplier than anything i could imagine!!!!!!!!! I am so thankful!!!!!
Brilliant. Thank you.
Hi! Where can I get this carriage online?
Where do you live ? i can help you. www.etsy.com/listing/1042187292/sc-3-empisal-knitmaster-automatic-linker?ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1&sca=1
You can buy it from TheJapaneseMachines shop on etsy.
Oh my God, thank you sooooo much, you have helped me a lot 🙏🏻😊
Thanks for showing in such detail and clearly. Love learning new hacks to make weaving even more of a joy!
Would you have a video how to reinstall the racking plate on a sr860?
Sorry...no. You may want to obtain a service manual, which you can either find for free or for a low cost online.
What ribber can I use on a sk/mod 700
I have a KR10 with no cord. Do you know where to buy a cord?
Love it! Purla sounds like my kinda Gal.
I'm sort of a control freak when it comes to precision as well. Thanks for the video. I didn't realize this add on was available and I purchased it after writing Embrilliance regarding how to rename long fonts. Now to get started organizing...
Best cast on rag on youtube.
I want to use it for ROBLOX.
