Love that you are now doing these videos!

I had no idea you guys had a UA-cam! Thanks for all the information. I just picked up a 45” floor loom. It’s a big difference from a rigid heddle.

I'm going through the same thing ! It's so intimidating to move to a floor loom with little instruction 😅

[@PNWwonder]

@@patriciafaithpotter8331 you got this, follow Susie and use that pause button! It’s definitely a bit different and at moments a bit frustrating. Worth it though!

Such a great instructional video. Trying to figure out how I can secure my raddle to the top of my Ashford 24" table loom. I think this might solve some of the problems I'm having with sections twisting.

Try some big rubber bands. I attach the raddle to the front breast beam and pass the warp through the shafts. The texsolv heddles can usually condense really well to make room.

Just bought a Harrisville 24 inch floor loom at Rhinebeck- love my warping mill. Still learning to warp the loom back to front. And understanding set.

The video is too shaky. Couldn't watch it.

Yeah, sorry ... we're weavers though, after all
