Well, this is a wildly complicated version of what seems to be essentially a backstrap setup; instead of tensioning the warp using cords attached to the end rods, the tension is provided by the the end bars of a fixed frame. I think. Maybe. Experienced backstrap weavers might find this loom convenient when there isn't really a feasible place to attach the end of your warp. It could also be useful if you need to frequently put down your weaving in a hurry to chase after a child or whatever - setting aside the frame might be faster than unhooking yourself from the backstrap, and your warp will be kept secure by the frame. One thing I did find to be incredibly useful - and that I haven't come across anywhere else - is using a (crochet) chain to space each warp thread and keeo them flat and in order, which can be a pain at the start of weaving a band. I'm going to try that out.

Uau maravilha demais muito.

What size elastic do you use?, as I lost the one that came with the loom.

♥♥very beautiful , ♥♥325

Ahhhh.... can you list what we need to purchase with it? I don't know what to get in order to begin. 🙄😵‍💫🤯🥴😵

???

All of the little tricks make it much easier.

This is so confusing. I'm a very crafty person and have been crocheting for over 30 years. It's going to take watching the video a couple of tries to get this working.

I just got this loom. Get 2 springs and screw them into the top and bottom cross bars.

This is possibly the worst video for a product ever. I would never have watched it, if I had not already purchased this loom, and vice/versa. While the loom seems well made, the accompanying instruction sheet and this video are illegible. Too much off screen action that leaves you wondering what to do next. Also needs a decent warping diagram. Lacis may have single handedly ruined the craft of thousands of possible weavers.

I'll stick to spinning. I think you lost me at DMC. Please don't take offense, this is the last of many videos that easily had my brain hurting. My spinning and I get along great.

Bought this years ago & watched the video. I put the loom in storage. I decided to watch the video again to give it one more try. Could the manufacture have made what should be a simple table top loom any more difficult? The instructional video seems like a skit from Saturday Night Live. It goes back in storage and up for sale Post Pandemic.

Received the loom and found it very well constructed. I used the video to assemble it. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this loom. This looms makes what should be a simiple process very complicated.

I wanted a loom until I saw this video. Now I just want a Tylenol for this headache...

President Snow from the hunger games gives confusing loom directions.

Thanks, Sue. I am not giving up yet, but I can't slow down a video, I don't have the capability.

Forget this video. He goes so fast you can't keep up. I had to pause and pause and finally figured it out using the written directions. He knows how to do it and he goes terribly fast.

Feeling encouraged by your video and all the other folks who have been looking at their loom, like me, for two years having never used it. Thanks!

I assumed I was smarter than this. 3 tries at warping, and I'm already planning a savings account for a Rigid Heddle Loom from Ashley. Instructions that came with the loom suck just as much as the video!

Well my goodness, this is the first tutorial that frustrated and made my eyes cross, due to the speed and poor quality of the video. No disrespect intended.

I want to buy this but is it easy tools, plz help me need an answer. Thank you.

HUGE help, thanks! The written instructions are not only difficult to follow (it's a hard job to explain this in text with just a few drawings!) but they are misprinted, with one of the figures obscuring the text beneath it. This video clears things up.

Well, I don't have this loom, but I did use the instructions to DIY my own out of a picture frame, so I dont' know what that says about the product or the instructions but I know that I"ve had way too much coffee.

Dude these instructions are TERRIBLE. Not as bad as the paper that comes with the kit bit still, my goodness. General advice - it took me four attempts and about 10 hours to work this out, and I've done weaving before including making my own looms so I mean I know how this stuff works. And I'm still not 100% confident with the outcome. Try and think of working it out as part of the fun, if you just want to make coasters then stick with crochet or a lap loom and come back to this when you want to feel like you accomplished something just by picking it up. Also note, the warp threads will wrap around the front AND BACK of the loom, meaning you can make some pretty long projects (about 59" or 150cm) but it's a bit confusing at the beginning when he talks about how many strands you'll need for your warp thread. From what I understand, he's saying you need to half your warp threads as though you'll be doubling them up (so if you need 48, only initially wrap 24) but that's not the case - you get what you wrap. Wrap 48, get 48, wrap 24, get 24. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something fundamental but you can clearly see in the video that half of the threads are held behind the loom/sheet of cardboard, and he does reference that he's making a 58" piece, which is fitting with him using warps that long. You'll see what I mean when you string it all up for the first time, but basically his poor explanation over-complicates it. Wrap 48, get 48, no halving, no multiplying, just wrap what you need (and maybe a couple of extras for the edges, that bit's still unclear). Before you start. Get some more elastic bands. This was non-negotiable for me because the four bands that came with mine all snapped when I first tried to use them, but you'll want some extras regardless. Also use lighter weight ones, and lots of them - 4 light rubber bands are better than one heavy duty rubber band, and it makes readjusting the threads easier because you can simply work under less tension by removing one of the light bands. You'll see what I mean when you're working, just trust me and grab a pack of regular rubber bands before you get started. Also, get some masking tape or similar, you'll use it to mark out the width of your work. In his example it's 4" so I'll stick with that. Basically you'll want a 4" gap between your tape so you can easily spread it out. This will also come in handy when you put the elastic bands on to lace it up, but I'll get to that later. Finally, make sure you have enough room to work. A floor is great, a table is great, your lap and bed can work (I did mine like that) but dropping one of the sticks on the floor will be an automatic game over so wherever you work make sure you're not likely to drop it or knock it off. Assembly is indeed pretty easy so let's skip ahead to where the dude is wrapping the threads (at like 3 to 4 minutes) and he's making sure they all lay side by side instead of overlapping. Turns out that's important. He won't say it's important, but it definitely seems to be. If you overlap them then later when you try to spread them out for your warp threads, you'll just have a tangled mess as they all trip over each other. You probably CAN fix it somewhere between the wrapping and the tension part where you spread it all out, but darned if I know how, and I'm pretty sure it's still gonna be more work than just not crossing them over in the first place. Next tip is the aforementioned tape. Measure your 4" on the short sticks and the ends of your loom when he mentions spreading out the warp threads. I did it this way and it was simple enough, but I get the feeling doing it beforehand would be even easier. Also if this paragraph is in red, I have no idea why, sorry 'bout that. Around 7:30 he'll have you secure rubber bands to the short rods, which are holding either end of your warp threads, and then lace them together, which is what will keep the tension in those warp threads while you work. What he won't mention is that if at any point your threads aren't properly spread out and your elastics aren't evenly spread, your work will ping off across the room and you'll have to start all over again . (Okay that's a slight exaggeration, but only a slight one. Suffice to say though balancing it properly is important.) This is where, once again, your tape lines are useful - you can simply put your elastic bands on the tape, re-spread your warp threads easily, and everything is nice and balanced. Something else around this point that he'll fail to mention is that even if you magically find a way to balance it all without properly spreading out your warp threads, spread out your warp threads anyway before you lace it, 'cause some of that lacing is gonna have to go between the warp threads and you won't be able to move said warp threads after it's laced, so if it's not properly spread out when it's laced, it'll never be properly spread out. When lacing, start from the middle and work your way out. If you're familiar with lacing a corset, it's kinda like that - double your cord, start in the middle of your work, and wrap out towards the ends. This will keep it well balanced. At around 8:30 you'll have your short bars on either side of the loom, i.e. one in the front and one in the back, both at the bottom (near the single peg). This is where they're gonna stay, so I stick a couple of rubber bands on the ends to hold them together, just helping out the lacing cord and keeping the ends secure so it wasn't wobbling around at all, and just in case the lacing cord snapped ('cause I'm an idiot who thought cheap acrylic yarn would do. It won't. Again if you're familiar with corsets and happen to have some corset cord lying around, I recommend that, that's what I'll be using next time).

It won't. Again if you're familiar with corsets and happen to have some corset cord lying around, I recommend that, that's what I'll be using next time). His explanation for chaining the warp threads (around 10 minutes) is horrible but at least it comes with some slightly better video and he slows down a tiny bit. Basically he's finger-knitting, which, if you don't know what that is, you can look up on UA-cam. If you're a crocheter, it's just a basic chain (you can also look up crochet chain if you think that'll be easier for you than looking up finger-knitting). If you're struggling with this bit, learn to finger-knit first (it's very easy with decent instructions) and practice that first away from the loom, then come back and re-watch him. Mute him maybe, his instructions are more confusing than helpful at least for me. With the heddle loops, when he says you need half of the number of warp threads or what have you, he's actually saying you need half of the number of TOP warp threads. So let's say you're doing a piece with 24 threads, that means you'll have 24 thread on the top and 24 on the back, and thus you'll need 12 11" loops and 12 10" loops, making a total of 24 for the top warp threads. If you don't get it that's cool just make a crap tonne of loops, better to have too many than not enough, but this isn't a part that will punish you if you have to put it down and make more so relax it's cool. From there it's pretty straightforward - loop and hook everything, assemble the heddle (that's fairly easy, you might just have to watch him a few times rather than trying to actually listen to him) and have fun with your weaving.

wow ; so nice and easy .thank you sir

Amazing instructions thank you! This is actually easier than warping my 4 harness, I didn't expect that.

Although I've read several negative comments about this tutorial, I find it's well done and perfectly logical. BUT I've been doing loom beadwork for many years now. So I'd suggest to the people who are flummoxed by this video, that they start with a small loom to make a smaller piece for beginners and work their way up. Thank you very much, I learned several helpful pointers! Now I want to make a larger panel for a friend. xx

Thank you for this tutorial. This is my first time working with a tapestry loom. Your tutorial helped me set up my new kilot tapestry loom, smoothly .

Watched the video several times. Not the best but pretty clear if you do what he says one step at a time. Loom is perfectly fine, don’t know what all the confusion and frustration is. Maybe some beginners don’t realize warping almost any loom is usually a tricky job. Rubber bands seem fine to me - works fine. Got my loom perfectly warped in two hours the first time. Less than an hour second time. This is a sweet little loom.

Could you slow down and do a video closer to the hands? I've watched this probably 40 times in 3 days and I have only managed to successfully wrap the thread once and it's still not laying right.

this is very complicated to me. I'm waiting for my loom to arrive and I'm feeling a little bit afraid i won't be able to set up the loom let alone use it to make the pictures I've selected. But purchuse has been made so I must go forward. I know it will be worth it but I just have to NOT give up. ths is the best instructional video that I have found so far except for the quality of the video in a part where it got really complicated but I will review it several more times before the loom arrives and hopefully I will feel more confident about this process

I'm looking for any personal tips or tutorials anyone commenting here may have gathered in their experience with this loom. It is my twentieth birthday gift and I am bound and determined to learn to use it. I may never receive such an expensive investment in my art career again. I will make this work with all available resources.

The rubber band situation is the worst part of this loom. I was just gifted this loom and while I am really excited to get started, I can already see that there are a few different, better ways to handle the heddles than this loud rubber band and block arrangement. I know this enables the company to sell the loom for cheaper than others, and I guess I can appreciate that since I would otherwise not have been able to afford one. :)

My loom has been looking at me for a few months and I gave up on the instructions, thank fully the video was easier to understand and I will be having ago tomorrow after I have wrapped my wafts

if nothing else built in warping lol

please redo and speak slower even slowing down speed

Oh, my gosh! I hate this loom! Talk about an exercise in frustration! It needs to be a rigid heddle, too. Anyway, I'm glad for the video, the paper instructions were terrible. Even if the video, you it's a bit hard to see you warp it. Ugh.

This is a clever design and the video shows very clearly how it is used along with some helpful general beading tips. I will be making one for myself. I am new to beading but it is clear to me that the continuous warp is a nice feature. For those having difficulty, you do have internet access. I suggest you use UA-cam, Google, and Amazon to your advantage. It's all out there, and most of it is free. Happy beading :)

So glad to see this video thanks so much

wow. so complicated. I almost bought one for my daughter but I'm glad I saw this first.

All this just for weaving I made my own for a couple of bucks and its nothing so hard to make. Doing yours looks like we need a doctors degree.

This video needs to be redone, it's degraded and pixelates (sp?) in area's that makes it hard to view. Plus you need to go slower and make sure to have the camera ABOVE the table so we can see what is being done. Plus there needs to be alot more information available for this loom online, either from another website or on YOUR website. If your going to have this as a product you sell the least you can do is HELP your customers. I'm beginning to think that this was a bad purchase, no wonder it was cheaper than all the others I looked at.

☺

it's an ok loom but I would start on a small loom to begin learning bead weaving.

Any chance that you will put out a video that is not so inferior to this one. Or is your sole purpose still to only sell the loom. I don't understand why you even bothered to put out a video if this was the "best" you were willing to provide. Doesn't say much for your company. Have a nice day.

thanks

where can i get this beadloom and the patron?

How much does the Lacis loom cost in £ please!! I live in Wales UK!!

I love this loom. I have made four tapestries with it so far, and was thinking of buying a wider one. Then it occured to me all that was needed was a wider bar on the top and bottom. My husband made the bars for me and I now have the option of making items wider!! I have the stand as well, and it is made so it can widen quite far, so it takes the wider bars. Wonderful!!

Thank you so much for making this video! I read the instructions and got anxious right away! Can't wait to follow the video to set up my loom.
