I was hoping to learn how to string the thread to use the wrapping feature for an extra long project. Do you have a video for that? Thanks
Super helpful 😊
I don’t have one yet, but I will work on it for you!! In the mean time you can check out Shady Ladies Trading! That page has a few videos that, while May not be beginning to end, might get you started.
How do we extend the work for longer projects?
If you have a project that is going to be long than your working area, you can use a thread bundle instead of a continuous warp method. With a thread bundle you can make the threads however long you need them to be. When you thread the loom, you will wrap the excess thread around either the top or bottom tension rod, whichever you choose. Once you have filled the beading area and need to expose additional thread, you simply loosen the tension rods, wrap the finished work around the opposite tension rod, thus giving you more open thread to continue beading. I don't have a video for this yet, but the Shady Ladies Trading page does! you can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/tqcZzggzF74/v-deo.html
Also, if you aren't a big fan of using thread bundles (like me) we also offer a long loom in our Etsy shop. This is an add on option to our other looms for long projects like belts or hat bands. Our long loom can be used upright by mounting it onto one of our other looms, or it can be used flat on the table, like many of the other long looms you may have seen.
