Sally, Thank you so much this was a very useful video regarding that iWeaveit. I do you have an iPad and this will certainly help me make my own designs.
This answered a lot of questions for me, thank you for your time and effort. It was a little confusing because since the only way I've seen rigid heddles threaded is with loops, (I am a newbie) with the slots and shafts threaded in pairs using the loop, resulting in a pair of a slot and a hole with the same color. I'm guessing you are showing alternating colors for slots and shafts is to home in the definition of the shafts: the slot and holes. Thank you for your help.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my password. I appreciate any help you can give me
@Drake Maddox Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
This is very helpful thank you. Do you think you can add any more about designing patterns using pickup sticks, heddle sticks or second heddles, which I gather a lot of rigid heddle weavers use to increase their options?
That's actually a very good question. It really could use a video of its own to demonstrate and I will put that on my list. For now, mark another shaft with the yarns you want to pick up. Then add a treadle to lift those threads. The drawdown will show those threads on top. If you want to lift the up threads along with them, then mark another treadle with both the shaft for up threads and the shaft for your pick up threads for that row. It will show in the drawdown. You can continue the design with more shafts and treadles. Other you tube videos show you how to actually pick up the yarns on the pick up shaft. From what I saw, it is always done on the up shed but I am not sure why that is the case except that it may be easier. Many inkle loom drafts can be used to create the design that is repeated across the rigid heddle loom.
Note to the developer: I'm using the iPad version for designing patterns for my rigid heddle. I just bought the Project Calculator add on, very useful! It gave me right-on calculations for yardage. It also showed me a right-on thread count for a repeat of my pattern. Nifty! But to get to the real point of this comment... I would so love to be able to set up and edit my pattern using that Warp Color Table!! I would happily pay for that as an add on. It would save me an hour+ of my time in setting up, and make editing so much faster too. You could allow the colors to be edited, and add a box asking how many times to repeat the pattern. ooooo that would be so great. Parametric design...

This is a great tool. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Very, very helpful for me!

Thanks you! This was very helpful for me when I want to convert rigid heddle weaving (2 shaft) to floor loom weaving (4-8 shaft).

@Drake Maddox it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
@Dustin Ameer you are welcome :D
This is so helpful, thank you so much.
How would I use IWeaveit with a double heddle setup for my rigid heddle loom?
There is another video on this. Watch the rest of the rigid heddle videos.
