HI Joni I was wondering / hoping you could make a video explaining the difference between the two models you have available the 1100 and the 1400. Maybe seeing them side by side if there is a size difference. I'm trying too determine what size i would need if I choose to purchase one . Thank you so much
Becky Devivo there's no difference between the two, other than length. If you tend to make garments I'd go for the longer 1400mm Gentle Roller. There's a photo on the Gentle Roller website showing them together. In the 'shop now' section, click on the 1400 GR and there's a comparison there.
Hi Kathryn I like to take it off every 250 rolls (change ends) and for a long and wide piece, I would do what we call false ends - that is, fold it so that the whole length comes into contact with the Idle rollers, which do the agitation. We have lots of videos on our website showing various items being made with the use of the GR.
It was not clear on the video that it is a two step process, once I saw both processes done on the same video that made it more clear. I got and love the effect it gives you. Saving my money to get one someday. Thanks.
This is exciting!
The GR has certainly changed the way I make felt :-)
I just ordered mine, so excited to try it! shipping to Alaska is crazy but look forward to it!
That's great! welcome to the GR community. We have a Facebook group exclusively for users. Please request to join and I will add you. :-)
@@jonicornell-mersilk Thank you but I dont have facebook. I truly cant wait to try it, so exciting, my daughters are happy to see me so happy.
WOW!

?
do you take the bundle off the GR after a certain amount of time to check the progress, or do you just leave it on for the entire process?

ve to find some. -thanks karen
What kind of foil do you use?
What do you mean foil?
@@jonicornell-mersilk i think she's talking bout what kind of cellophane are you using and i would like to know aswell
@@karenallen3899 it's painter's drop sheet. I like it not too thick.
This machine looks Great, that new one he just posted looks like a big rock tumbler what's up with that.
Not a rock tumbler, rather a pre-felt tumbler. ;-) It gives those who have invested in the roller the opportunity to full their pre-felts.
