    Both!!!! I love the versatility of the four shaft and the convenience and portability of the rigid heddle looms:)

    I've had requests from some of my friends and family to talk about different ways they can weave when they have absolutely little to no budget for it. I'm not as familiar with rigid heddles, so this helped.

    I love my RHL, and I cant make a choice between my TL or my RHL. THEY BOTH ARE Precious to me. I love weaving on both.

    What was the book Michelle mentioned for three shaft patterns? I didn’t catch the author even with close captioning on. Came up as ER book. 😂 I thought I’d check my guild’s library for it…and keep an eye out for a used one for me. 😊

    New to the weaving world. Wanting to start with a rigid heddle. How do I decide which brand to buy?

      @@kathymoser9750 Hi Kathy! Congratulations on joining us! Because I am not a rigid heddle weaver, I can't speak to the various brands. But I can tell you that there isn't a bad one. Consider the size of the loom with what you're interested in weaving and you'll be golden! I'm excited to hear about what you make!

    Can you use a 4 shaft table loom to weave fabric for sewing with? How do you begin I'd love to know how to do it. Currently I'd be happy to just plain weave from the yarn I've spun into fabric that I can sew.
