section below before stringing this loom. I think you will found it to
be a method that will quicker and easier than the method that is
used with a traditional loom although the traditional method can be
used.
the warp threads. Pass the weft thread and beads under the warp
threads. Align the beads between the warp threads and drop the
warp thread lifter to the flat position. Move the lifter away from the
beads.
to the row of beads. Press down while passing the needle and
weft thread back through the beads. For wider pieces the method
is different and another tool is used to simulate a finger to lift a few
beads at a time depending on the length of the needle being used.
Tie the first thread on, take it across the loom and wrap it around the screw
several times to hold it in place. Tie the weft thread to it as usual and string
the first row of beads. Lay the beads across the loom as if all the warp
threads were in place. With scotch tape, tape each end of the weft thread to
the loom. This will keep the beads on the loom surface. Unwarp the warp
thread from the screw and continue stringing the loom. With each pass the
thread is place over the weft thread and between each bead. Don't forget
the outside edge strings. The first row of beads are in place and the
threads are correctly spaced.
When using the rollers for longer pieces, each thread should be
individually strung and tied off in order to add addition warp thread length.
