I am very new to weaving. Your explanation is perfectly clear and easy to understand, and I am looking forward to learning more from other videos. Thank you for sharing!!

Thank You for this demonstration. Very brilliant.

[@emilyackertrutten268]

Your video is so helpful - just starting to learn to weave, and I intend to learn walking the loom from the start. Your video made it very clear how to do it.

[@faziarizvi]

Thank you so much for this (very clear) explanation. I'd seen weavers doing this, but didn't realize how deliberate it was.

[@KnittingsAndSewings]

This is great video. Would you mind showing how to walk countermarch loom where treadles are back hinged and close together.

[@janinedear-barlow]

Are the feet always attached to two heddles?

[@mariagavrilescu3329]

Hi Jette, lovely videos. I am just starting to learn weaving on a counterbalance loom with only 4 pedals. I have trouble finding videos for this kind of loom and I see you have almost the same kind of loom. Mine I believe is a Scandinavian one from about 1950. Do you know where I can get more information about how I should tie the treadles and the pedals please?
Many thanks,
Maria

no wonder weaving was at the basics of the computer!!! Smart people who can weave patterns on a mechanical loom..........

[@richardschaffling9882]

Great hint thanks

[@hetedeleambacht6608]

or making some salsa movements with crossing legs.........

Another advantage of walking the treadles is being able to hit both the 1/3 or 2/4 shafts with one foot when you're switching to tabby with a direct tie-up loom.
