I have the knit and weave loom. I am trying to make the woven baby blanket but the weaving tool just isnt long enough to go from one env to the other

Sorry. I haven't made the blanket. I would think you could make the strand of yarn you are weaving with longer to compensate for the tool's lack of length

Hi. I made the baby blanket and also found the weaving tool too short. I made a homemade tool from a wire hanger. A thinner-wired hanger is easier to work with. With cutters I snipped the upper arm of the hanger about an inch from the bend. That will be the hook end. The other side I cut a few inches farther up the other upper arm. You bend that part into a handle. Throw the hanger section away. Shape the hook end with pliers. I had to file the cut end to smooth it down. Shape the handle with pliers making it comfortable for you to turn the hook flat to pass through the warp yarn, then to turn it up to go between the pegs to pick up the weft yarn. That's up to you. I wrapped the handle with tape to cushion it a bit. Hope this helps. I can send you pictures of the blanket but I can't figure out how to do it.

You could. If you intend on making a double-knit placement, it might be helpful to get one of those KK Loom clips? Coasters, you might want a smaller loom with the pegs closer together so you can get a smaller knit/weave.

My suggestion is to get a ruler and draw 1/4" line on the side you are wanting to sew. Then sew on the line - it will show you where your needle should be positioned. My Brother has to be on #1 for this foot to work. I also found I like to use 3.0 stitch when using this foot. It just seems to work best for me on this length. I hope this was helpful.

OK, I just sewed the edge of one of my towels and it works fine. I also just finished "making" actually simply hemming, a length of fleece for a new baby blanket. I rolled the edges and it worked quite well. When I got to the corners, I did try to do the whole 4 layers and it wouldn't, it was just too much. But the regular hem was fine. The machine only goes so fast, which is great for a beginner. For me, I probably could have sewn my baby blanket a lot faster, if the needle went faster. The control ON the machine, not the foot peddle, was a tad faster. But it was ok anyhow.

No, I don't recall and I deposed of the box. The loom was fine. The weaving hook was okay, but I prefer to use a large long crochet hook instead. The loops were really second rate though, but okay for children to use in making objects. You can get better quality loops which I use for salable potholders and rugs.

Hi, my daughter ties the ends together like most of the bracelets made from that type of material. She loves the loom, I actually had fun with it too!

Your cast on stitches are determined by the size of socks you're making. Your pattern should tell you the number to cast on and you can adjust it accordingly. Just make sure that you cast on according to what corresponds with your pattern. For example if your pattern is a multiple of 4 then you don't want to add 1, 2 or 3 stitches. You'll need to add or subtract 4 stitches at a time to follow the design pattern so it works out or the socks won't look like you're expecting them to. Always keep a notebook of changes you've made and patterns you've changed including the book it was in, page number and yarn you used. Then you're ready to make another pair without too much trouble. I have 2 looms and work on each one a row or two at a time using row counters that are numbered with a Sharpie 1 and 2, and the looms are marked 1 and 2 on the bottom. Well worth the cost of another sock loom. Never have to make that dreaded "other sock" because the pair is done at the same time. YouTube has tons of videos on loom knitting socks that are very helpful!

Sorry I have the same problem. I'm still trying to figure it out. I might bring it to my seamstriss.

I am new to this and have not made one yet. Are u using the large round one (41 pegs) or a long loom?

There is no setting for fabric variety. There is a dial for differential feed ratio adjustment and stitch length adjustment.

Try this forum. Someone might be able to help you there. http://www.beadcreator-family.com/?xg_source=msg_mes_network I have yet to make a pattern with my $250 program. My computer dos not like the Pro Plus version.

Sorry to be so late with this. My loom is 7 by 7. Often the loops seem too big for this. I took one loop and it stretched fairly easily to 7 1/4. Loops are variable in size, but it's rare or never that a loop just barely stretches across my loom.

Sorry! I cannot respond to this question, as I only used a Kandi's Crafter.

I think you could probably use red emboidery thread for it...and a big, heavy duty needle. Go to a craft store and look at their selection. I'm sure you will find something you like. Good luck! :)

I love the results of the metallic thread but found it difficult to embroider with because it tangles so easily didn't matter whether I use the spindle on the sewing machine or whether I use my separate thread feeder it still twisted so my suggestion would be whatever you dofor feeding, loosen your tension and make sure to keep your design small and simple

I depends on what you are making, I use tiny seed beads #11, you can use any size bead you have to thread the loom skipping some spaces for larger beads.

Yes, you just weave your wire end inside of the project and start a new length. If you have any questions there are plenty of tutorials on You.tube or you can just google them up on your browser under "French Knitter Jewelry Tutorial" or "French Knitter: using wire". If you really get ambitious there are a few books available on Amazon that are reasonable. Hope this helps.
