One more thing: I thought there needed to be enough dobby bars hitched together so that they'd drape over the edge and gravity would help them feed. Four bars? Really? And eight work too?

I knew there is a solution... a simple one actually.... just couldn't get my mind wrapped around it! Thank you.

Yes, I did that a few months ago when I ran out of heddles on a couple of shafts on my Magic Dobby; actually that works for any multiple shaft loom. When I did it I threaded from the back, using shafts 23 and 24 since it was easier to see those back shafts. Now I have a question: it looks like you're mixing tabby sections with twill sections across the warp. Are you finding that you're having any issues with differential take-up of the warp since tabby tends to spread threads out and twill tends to kind of stack them up?

I love color combs from ArtClub! I’ve gotten several of them for various projects.

That turned out beautiful! It reminds me of Elsa’s dress from Frozen. Also, I love your enthusiasm, so I subscribed!

Thank you for this great review. I’m seriously thinking of getting one. Is this heavy to treadle, please, and is the shed big enough to weave on comfortably? Dee

Thank you for sharing your experience!

Practice this. You did a better job than I did on my first go-around! I've gotten better by doing it and doing it and doing it. I'm a new subscriber! Thanks for your videos! 😊

Lovely thank you. You gave me some great ideas and much more 😊

Thank you for the very good video. You’ve answered a lot of questions for me.

Definitely do not put all crafts in one video. Specificity is good.

Can you show back of loom ? I’m having trouble with mine adjusting to next bar with the handle. I might try the foot peddle

Are you willing to share your Yarn source? Possibly Price?

ohmygoodness I am 100% doing this on my loom! Thanks for the idea!

Thank you so much I was wondering whether to get this since the megado is so expensive. I think I'll take the plunge!

Holà Gracias Me podrías decir lo que piensas de ese telar electrónico . Que tanta tela puedes hacer ?

I work with both. I use the lever, push it down. I hold the lever down with the treadle. After I have made the shot, I let the treadle spring up and the lever goes up automatically. I don't lock it in place.

Nice pattern

Is the fiber you are using old? Sometimes, older fibers can loose strength over time.

Thank you very much for this demo. I’ve never seen a dobby loom close up like you have shown. Happy weaving!

I'm curious about your standing beater. There were some good shots of it in this video. It looks like the attachments for mounting it are there... but you've attached it closer to the upright on the stand. Can you tell me a little about this?

dankeschön. Ich hatte nicht viel über diesen Webstuhl gefunden. Ich habe auch so Einen. Will mir gerade auch die Standlade anschaffen und bin gespannt

Hi, the problem you were having with the fiber splitting and spinning down one side rather than across the width of the fiber is related to how you hold the fiber, not how you draft it. When spinning short-forward, or worsted, hold the fiber loosely in the non-drafting hand with palm facing up and thumb at the top. Move your thumb back and forth across the fiber as you draft (there is no need for the thumb to press hard on the fiber, keep it fairly loose.) You will discover that the fiber you pull forward as you draft will come from directly next to your thumb. A slight shift of you drafting hand will then pull fiber from the opposite side of your thumb, but your fiber hand thumb really does the bulk of the work. Hope this helps.

24 hours and no one's seen this masterpiece?!

Oooo.... Love your kick wheel. \(^-^)/

Love the idea of the carabiner clips. The bulb shaped shower curtain rings might work as well. For the heddle holder, I’m wondering if you could find a tassel maker that would work. Or, I have seen a board with 2 dowels used that you can find listed on places like Etsy as a heddle maker.

Thank you so much for your videos. It is very interesting how do you make your working steps before, during and after your weaving. Thanks for sharing.

What are the names of the roses?

Those roses are so pretty I wonder how they smell

Nice roses.

Hello, many thanks for this very detailed intro to this loom that I have been slavering over! I have one question though How noisy is the mechanical version of this loom? do you have some video in which you are using the loom without the usual background music? Anyway, thank you very much for this nice video!! Enjoy Best, Adi

This is a great detailed look at your work. Thanks for sharing.

I also bought an electronic magic dobby a few years ago, but it often lift up the wrong thread. I felt it was a programming problem, I really regret not buying a mechanical one at that time, I felt mechanical loom may less easy to cause problems.

I… don’t understand… this looks like magic to me. Oo How does this work? I don’t even really know what I’m watching. How did it end up a long strand when it looks like hair or something. Oo

Volume changes when the music is added, and you may need to adjust. Sorry, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of making and editing eventually. Thanks for watching.

Stretcher is for keeping the width that is at the reed. For you it is 28", not 27 1/4". Try to watch some you tube video on how to set the temple.

Great,I love the music.

I was sad about the music because I wanted to hear the noise of the eel. I have never owned an electric but have had several antique wheels and modern wheels. I am wondering if I can replace the feeling of a traditional wheel with one of these.

I’m learning so much about dobby looms from you. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing.

Hello again, I have one more question. If I weave with so many shafts, it is hard to treadle. I have tried out to find a solution, but it am not satisfied with it. What do you think about the hardness of the treadling? Weaving is hard feetwork. But I don't like to use the lever.

Hi, you are so helpfull. Thanks a lot for this video. It is so interesting for me, because I like complex weaving pattern. Now I have the plan. I have understand all your explanation. It is so simple, but I think, that anybody know this possibility. I have asked in several groups on Facebook about this problem, but nobody has an tip for me. Buy more bars, use an electronic dobby were the answers. I have asked the Louet support team because of this. No chance, no tip. You are my hero. I will share the link for this video in several groups. I hope, this is ok for you. I think so 😉. I have one more question. For me it is very difficult to see, which wooden bar is working. The big wooden knob hides my few of the number on the bar. How would you solve the problem? Best wishes from Germany, Bettina

The cloth behind my computer was woven with just 4 bars on the magic dobby. The number isn't always 8. It depends on the pattern you choose and how many shafts are used. For example, a typical 4 shaft pattern uses 4 or 6 treadles, so just 4 or 6 bars are needed.

Do you have a tip for me. I love overshot weaving. But with the mechanical Dobby it is difficult, because of the limit of wooden bars. After every overshot follows a tabby shot. So you need so much wooden bars. Perhaps you have a solution for this problem.

Thanks so much for this video. It is very intersting how you work with this loom and modify it. I have an swinging beater on my Magic Dobby. But I am thinking to buy an standing beater. Do you have bought your loom with the standing beater?
