Anyone knows if the loom can be used for making traditional Ukrainian beaded 'herdans', belts and decorative pieces longer than 12'' ? Thanks!

You're very limited with size with this loom. No bigger than 8 inches or so.

Difficult question to answer. Depending on your wrist size and complexity of your pattern. Plus I have seen people makes earrings or rings or belts instead of bracelets.

If you mainly want to do "growing" type bracelets it's better. The regular loom gives you way more options tho. Personality I suck at trying to find the correct band to hook on reg loom so I like finding things I can make on monster. But it is limited. A lot of stuff u can make on monster IS possible on rainbow but easier on monster. Bands tend to slip off easier on monster. But I still prefer it for what I like to make

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! :)

sorry i can't help you. I bought it for my Elna and a small Brother (my go to class machine and I like it) but it doesn't fit either. It was a screw size and I couldn't get it off to try a larger size.; no hole on the Brother. I have macular and i am looking for all kinds of help for sewing straight seams. Interesting I asked Vking and other dealers and they didn't know anything about it. Bernina has a complicated one and very expensive and it probably won't fit. A famous quilt designer and artist Patrick Lose on a youtube video used his and the site had a disclaimer on it and said they had so many inquiries that said to check your dealer. HA! non know anything.

I was teaching 1st and 2nd graders. The loops are very tight on the loom and most of the children had me helping. There were 14 children, some had no patience for it, some did not want to try, the few who tried needed help, but one little boy got his mom to buy him a loom and loops. I think I might look around for one that you can try in a store. It was not easy for me when I did it. I remember the ones I had as a child were more loosed. You cannot do with fingers. It is just tight. Hope this helps.

Gosh, I would have never thought of that. I guess it might depend on what the leather is being used for. If it's a belt or something that would be worn a lot, my guess would be no. If it's for like a wall hanging or something that is stationary and won't have any wear and tear, it might work. But then on the other hand, I'm no Martha Stewart, so what do I know!! If you haven't already looked, check out Martha's website. There may be more detailed information there? Good luck with your project!

My daughter is older but found it easier to make bracelets without the loom. A friend showed her how to make them. The loom is not needed and not sturdy. You can make the bracelets just with the floss. The kind of bracelets I recommend for a 7 year old. Look like little good quality rubber bands with a loom seems to be better once they get the hang of it. Youtube videos help. Toys r us had them at Christmas. They are very popular and better. It depends on the child really. I would recommend no on this one.

My answer is the same as the others. No this is finer than the #18. This D can be compared to C-Lon thread. I use both for fine beading. The #18 I use more with kumihimo. I hope this helps you.

Yes this thread has a beautiful end result in most all embroidery machines.....Keep in mind to purchase a needle for your machine that has a larger Needle eye then most ...the reason for this is to keep the thread from fraying as you are using it.....some decorative threads tend to be softer and more fragile so as they pull with the tension of the machine they can break off eaisier....ask your favorite Fabric shop for the larger eyed needles....they are actually just as sharp they just have a more elongated eye for the thread......Best of luck with your sewing adventures.

I don't have an answer to that. Suggest research on a informed web site or contact the company. Whatever, the product is beautiful, been around for a long time and not about to be discontinued as is most other patterns we own.

Yeah, you can! I've made a couple of vests from the stuff I got, it holds up well to sewing. At one point I tried fastening eyelets through it, though, and that doesn't work too well unless you punch it really securely. The fabric likes to loosen up around those parts and the eyelets ended up falling out. Still, though, I like it a lot.

It's impossible to do with this loom. Don't buy it. They make looms that have a notch/rounded edge so the loops will stay on.

I am sorry to say that it would not fit. It is to wide and it would barely fit lengthwise. SO this item would not work for your loom. But it works great for rubber bands. I hope this helps.

The original is the only type I have used so far, but I have successfully used it to make collage pieces that incorporated fabric and glass "gems" in the designs. Sorry I can't offer more help

Within each row you can. One of the rows will also easily fit your loom, which is what I like most about it. It has been a great buy for the money.

No if using tall slim spool - and laying down not so good because of depth of stationary partitions. There are other boxes designed under Arts, Crafts, and Sewing designed for spools of thread - may want to review those for this pour pose - I am a bead jewelry designer and these work for that purpose.
