How to Weave Beads on a Mirrix Loom

[@lisa1ramaglia2]

I’m just beginning to start bead weaving. While very interesting, $300 for a first loom is a little too rich for me. Now, if you already have this loom, it’s great to see that you can do multiple types of weaving on it..

I bought a jewel loom recently and I find it hard to use. then I thought, wouldn't it be great if I could find a standing loom which would give me better control! And here it is!

Wow! You are right, now I want to try this! I cannot wait to get one of these looms!

How would I do a Peyote stitch look with the shedding bar? I know peyote is an off loom, but I like the idea of not worrying as much about the heavier peices as far as how sturdy it would be.

Wow. This is very cool!

Outstanding!

Can I use Wildfire or Fireine for the warps in a 11" X 16" loom bead tapestry?

[@mirrixtapestryandbeadlooms]

You can! Any beading thread should work fine.

What size beads are used here please? Okay 11* seed beads ~thank you!

[@mirrixtapestryandbeadlooms]

These are 8/0 seed beads, but basically any bead size can be used on a Mirrix Loom, you'd just use a different warp coil depending on the size.

@@mirrixtapestryandbeadlooms what size for 10 through 13? Our people did this, but of course it's long gone

you lost me with the bar thing, camera is too far and not sure how that things works. I loom with out that bar, just curious how this helps.....couldn't really see well enough, but good video and really nice looking loom.

The first portion was great but could not see how to see weaving with the shed. Camera was too far away. Hope to find another video for clarity.
