Inkle Woven Dog Collar: Weaving and Sewing TipsIMG 3554

[@stephaniedaugherty704]

Terrific instruction. Can’t wait to give this a try

Thanks so much for this great video. It’s very clear and concise. I just got my Inkle loom after taking a class, and have 2 big dogs that need new collars! I’m looking forward to being able to have several collars for them, since they are very active and their collars need washing often. I don’t like leaving them without a collar while it dries, and a wet collar on a dog just leads to smelly collars!

Glad it was helpful!

This is massively helpful, thank you! I just finished inkle weaving my first guitar strap today and my next project is a dog collar...or several!😊

Glad it helped!

I've been doing dog leashes. I'm excited with your ideas. Mine will improve so much AND i can make matching collars 😉. Thank you for a great video.

You are so welcome!

Thank you so much for this. Its a very clear and simple explanation. I have recently started using an inkle loom. I want to make a belt from my woven band, so I can use the same technique for that.

hello very beautiful dog 😊 can you please kindly film how to operate the plaff sewing machine electric foot pedal how its used to sew ?please kindly let me know ok?thank you very much 😊

[@westcoastweave8041]

Hi thx for your message. The foot pedal controls sewing speed. Best advice I can give is to go slow. This helps prevent breaking needles and damaging your fabric.

So many great tips! Thank you! I am new to inkle weaving, the tip about doubling the threads was perfect! I never thought to do that, I wondered how to make a band that was more durable! Again thank you so much!

Can it be made with wool yarn to warm the neck?

[@westcoastweave8041]

@@Gauelyimoja Hi , wool yarn can be sticky to weave and may stretch. I like the look of wool but I do not weave with it.

[@mariannacoleman3432]

Fantastic, thanks. Is it double thread all the way through or just the first and second at the beginning and end? Thanks.

[@westcoastweave8041]

@@mariannacoleman3432 hello double thread all through.

[@mariannacoleman3432]

@@westcoastweave8041 Thanks. I've halfway through a very thin strap with a double thread on either side and I find the two are twisting as I go. Does this happen to you with the double thread all the way through?

[@brendabryant60]

Is the stretch stitch really necessary? Not sure i have that stitch
