I just got my loom yesterday and your videos are so helpful! Thank you for sharing your expertise!

[@rsl9594]

Your entire weaving series has been a godsend but this calculation video has been my lifeline for numerous projects now in calculating exactly how much I need. Thanks for such informative videos Dolores!

[@DoloresJacobs]

I'm glad you find it helpful. Even with computer programs to calculate, it is best to know how to do it.

[@pattitallyn4380]

Dolores your video was extremely helpful, I learned more from you then any other instructor I've watched, thank you. I'm looking forward to watching the rest.

[@DoloresJacobs]

Thanks for your comment. I hope it helps you enjoy your weaving.

[@gfodale]

I am impressed by your attention to details, that many omit.

[@bettyallen426]

Thanks so much for your videos. They are extremely helpful. I'm getting my loom the end of this week and need all of the help I can get. Betty

[@DoloresJacobs]

I am sure you're excited to get your loom. What kind are you getting?

[@tsilamagdassi81]

Thank you so much Dolores!! So helpful!!

[@neddaaltschuld5157]

Videos are very helpful. I have subscribed and keep going back and learning more each time. I can't seem to find the weaving project form that you mention to make a copy. I don't see any link.

Hi Dolores, can you tell me at 4:27, you divided the total warp length of the scarf (+ease and waste) at 102inch by 36inch. Where does the 36inch comes from? Should I apply this number to all my projects? I can’t figure this out. Many thanks in advance. Katy

[@bettyallen426]

I am getting an 8 shaft Schacht Standard loom. It is in excellent condition and has most everything needed, including a bench. And the price was good. Betty

[@DoloresJacobs]

Very nice. Hope you get many years of enjoyment from it.

[@laurapappas753]

Very helpful thank you

[@josephinemary4124]

Hello Delores. Thank you for this information. I'm just learning to weave and your videos are inspiring. I am wondering if the calculation sheet you mention in the video is available on your blog site? I would appreciate the link. Thanks so much!

[@deberaalbertson5727]

Hello Dolores you are awesome for teaching. I have a question in regards to the open area to put the shuttle. I do not have a large enough are for the shuttle. When I pull the beater bar it has has the working area for the shuttle I wish I had on the shuttle are. What am I doing wrong? I have a union loom. Thank you

[@DoloresJacobs]

HI Debera, I wish I could give you a simple answer to getting a better shed (open area to put the shuttle) but there could be several things causing this. I have never used a Union Loom, but most looms work the same. A few things to look at to get a better shed are: adjusting the harnesses so they open more. Move the fell (where the last weft was beaten) closer to the front beam. The farther the fell is away from you, the tighter your shed will become. Reduce the tension on the warp. New weavers tend to have the warp too tight. Try loosening it a little. Hope that helps..

[@zaingill7105]

Good job madam 👍. thanks

[@juneasnider9992]

I am unable to locate your weaving project form on your website. Is it still available?

[@MichelleCrespo1968]

Great tutorial videos! Just put my Harrisville 36" 4 shaft loom together. I am searching for the download for warp and weft calculations mentioned in the part 4 video. Are these still available? Thank you so much for the wonderful education. As a new weaver, your directions are easily understood.

[@DoloresJacobs]

I'm sorry but the calculation sheet is not available, I can't get it to work properly.

[@MichelleCrespo1968]

No worries. Thank you for your response!

[@mrs.viallsmathmoments117]

I have made a pdf version of the weaving project form if interested.

[@DoloresJacobs]

Hi Kim, Nice of you to make the pdf. I would love to see it. Can you send it to [e-mail]?

[@tsilamagdassi81]

Wow!! I would love to see it too. Will you please send it to [e-mail]? Thanks!
