Tablet weaving

[@sabrina.h2737]

Not even in English and I was able to follow this clearly. Brilliant tutorial. 👍

[@cecileploquin8279]

Et moi, en français !.... :-)

[@ga5957]

I second you!👍

[@violettracey]

Yes!

[@websterbillingham8873]

So I put the last part through Google translate and this is what I got: hur vrida korten= How to turn the cards Bara Vrida Fran= Just turn forward Bara Vrida Mot= Just turn against (back) 4 forward, 4 back 8 forward, 8 back So turn the cards all in the same direction, you get the chevron pattern, 4 forward, 4 back gets the diamonds, and 8 forwards and 8 back gets the "X" pattern. Thanks for the video, this is really great!

[@annesfeltedfriends]

Webster Billingham thanks for the interpretation

[@XRMTTF]

thanks so much for translating! and wow this video was amazing

[@lauragibbons1951]

Thanks for translating! I feel like as a total beginner this sort of weaving looks like absolute magic to me but this video definitely broke it down into understandable steps. It's kinda magic in my opinion and now I must try it 🤣

[@violettracey]

Thanks!

[@rippy4freedom499]

Finally! A video that shows how and why the cards work ! Thank you! I was getting dizzy trying to figure it out based on several other videos. Once you see the “why” this works the “how” to work it and the pattern construction makes sense!!! Bravo!

[@TheSolitaryGrape]

This tutorial is so easy to follow even without knowing Swedish, thank you! For those curious English speakers like myself, here's the English translation of all the writing (going through Google translate so please feel free to correct me!) Asterisks* denote my translation notes 😁 0:05 Title card: A video about making ribbons with tile fabric*. Much more fun and easier than you think... *Assuming "ribbons with tile fabric" is the direct translation of tablet weaving 0:16 Make cards 0:46 Biggest hole... 0:49 Have a piece of leather behind 1:46 Colour with at least 2 colours 2:07 Warp 8 red threads 2:22 Blue thread... 3:59 Cards 5, 6, 7, 8 are threaded from the back 5:18 Stick* to something *I assume the meaning to closer to "attach" or "tie" 5:26 Use a paper clip* on the other end *Evidently the kind of plastic clip he uses here, not sure if a wire paper clip would work 6:52 How to turn the cards? 6:56 Just turn forward 6:59 Just turn back 7:03 4 forward, 4 back 7:08 8 forward, 8 back 7:12 Good luck!

I saw Tablet Weaving mentioned on a facebook group and had to know what it was about: unfortunately now I want to do this... I need another hobby like I need another hole in my head but This makes it look totally doable. THANK YOU.

[@LynxSouth]

After wanting for years to try tablet weaving, I've ordered a kit from a company in Latvia that's on Etsy. Some patterns are easier than others to learn, and the company has high ratings. I am SO looking forward to it.

Wow, even without knowing the language you did such a FANTASTIC job of showing us what you were doing and I was able to completely understand EVERYTHING.

[@a.wilkins1708]

You know, I have been looking at several videos over the past few years trying to figure out how to do this. How to read the pattern and how to turn the cards. You have finally explained it in a very clear way.. Thank you!! Much appreciated!!

[@a.wilkins1708]

Although my Swedish is not very good yet, I was able to understand the written description.

[@hippybecca]

Only video I could find that showed the backstrap method and made sense. Thank you.

[@Tripswitch1000]

This is the best tutorial I have found for tablet weaving! Even though I had to run the dialogue through a translator I didn't actually need it as the visuals were perfect. I've spent hours trying to do this on a loom and just could not get my head around it - very frustrating - but this has worked perfectly on first try! Thank you so much for sharing.

Very very good. I have bought a tablet weaving book with cards 10 years ago, but I never have use it, because it seemed to be complicated. But now I will try it. Many thanks.

[@aimee3826]

I went to a Viking festival yesterday that they were doing this at, and now I kind of want to spend my life doing this.

[@stooglesgoogles7246]

I never thought it would be that simple, just setup and twist every row 😮😮

Thank you for the great explanation! Now this finally makes sense! I will definetly try this as soon as I find yarn in this household🤣

[@dianemakes]

Excellent video! This is the best video I've seen explaining how to start tablet weaving. Thank you!

[@Junipanther]

Perfect to start , and cheap too! Thank you so much!!!😊

[@renata_of_the_craft]

Very clear instructions, thank you. However, due to health reasons I cannot do this method, as it very quickly gives me a serious backache. Also I tend to move about quite a bit, so I always keep my tablet weaving on some kind of frame. I was very much intrigued by the pattern, so easy and yet very clever with its variety of woven patterns, just the thing needed to inspire someone setting out with the craft which has such old roots going back at least 3000 years. Thankfully it has survived to this day and finds new craft people still. Thank you again.

[@irenitele8497]

you may get a table loom and use them, you don´t need to tie them to you! best of luck

[@renata_of_the_craft]

@Irenitele thank you, yes I have actually built myself a table loom since I commented originally, the type some people call skateboard loom. Very simple but also effective, but a little bit cumbersome. Yet it is more traditional than my preferred loom for tablets, a large-ish Inkle Loom, where the angled area for the weaving process is so easily accessed. As I have quite fallen in love with tablet weaving, I am considering a larger custom-built Inkle Loom for longer lengths of braid, as I can only produce approx 2 1/2 yards of braid at the most. However, for any public weaving I use the skateboard loom, especially if I am dressed in an early mediaeval outfit, where the Inkle Loom would look out of place, but where I can show off the actual use of the braids on garments.

[@todorminchev2123]

great tutorial but quick questions were the indicators on the 5th and and third card misplaced by accident or is it intentional ?

[@nicolemitchell446]

I wondered the same thing! The A B C D went clockwise in the rest, but left to right on those two. It appears as though he threaded them all in a clockwise manner so I’m thinking they are all supposed to be that way.

[@mariaestherdols2122]

Un tutorial estupendo, muy bien explicado. Gracias por compartir.

[@Bhope07]

Why do some of your cards have ABCD then some have ABDC(only 2) was that a mistake on your part? It’s slightly confusing to the person trying to learn.

[@kristinev7671]

Thank you for the excellent video!

[@mycrazyfamilyid]

The sample pattern repeats after 4 rows. 4 strings in each card, 4 rows. What if there are more than 4 rows in a pattern repeat? What of I have a card with 4 holes but the pattern is 10 rows long?

[@EsteeDarla]

great tutorial

[@petra5979]

Do you always turn the cards in the same direction?

[@MoonyJuliet]

from what i understand, at the end the video explains how you can make different designs by turning the cards in certain ways. - arrows pointing away from you: always turn the cards away from you - arrows pointing towards you: always turn the cards towards you - diamonds: turn the cards towards you four times, then away from you four times, repeat - big diamonds / alternating arrows: turn the cards towards you eight times, then away from you eight times, repeat

[@websterbillingham8873]

@@MoonyJuliet This is correct. I put the words at the end in Google Translate (from Swedish) and got the same results as you.

[@christophv7580]

Thx a lot! Ill try on the weekend

[@Harthya]

thanks alot this is the vedio that Im searching for

[@katebutterworth8934]

What is that clip called?

[@trenchrock]

Still confused with the turning forward and back and then forward again. Also, Did you turn a few in the middle and then leave the rest? I do loom beading and can set everything up but once it gets to the turning, it all goes down the crapper.

[@websterbillingham8873]

So for this pattern, all the cards are turned in the same direction. A lot of more complex weavings do turn cards differently, but this one is very simple. One turn in between each pass of the shuttle. If you only turn the cards forward, you get the chevron (pointy stripes) pattern. Turning only backward makes the chevron go the opposite direction. 4 forward, 4 back gives you the diamond, and 8 forward, 8 back makes the X.

[@pheonixphire]

Is there a specific reason the last 4were thread through the back? Would it change the design to thread them all through the front?

[@websterbillingham8873]

Yes. Look at the close up of the finished strap at the 10 second mark. You see that the individual strings are slanted towards the center, and that the right side and left side are facing different directions? That's what changing the direction of the threading accomplishes. If you were to reverse the threading of the cards, so that 1-4 were back to front and 5-8 were front to back, you wouldn't have continuous lines of red like this one. You'd have something closer to the "Navajo star" pattern instead of chevrons and diamonds

[@Harthya]

please how we read other patterns flowers or lines... etc, some times i find indicated color whit is forward,, gray is back, whats that mean please?

[@JochenSchrenk]

I started with 24 weaving cards, now I work with 36, 48, 60, 72, 96 nicely explained, but how do you do working in that way with 100 weaving cards? I can do it, weaving with 96 weaving cards, now trie to do it in your way ...

[@giulianamariafarina2]

STUPENDO GRAZIE

[@DemstarAus]

Does 5-8 always need to be threaded through the back of the cards like this? I've never done tablet weaving and this is the first video I've found that actually shows the initial set up.

[@annalisalundberg4561]

Probably you've discovered the answer by now...anyway the threading of the card from the front or from the back is useful to create the pattern. It is usually called S-threading and Z-threading, because they resemble the letters. Trouble is, I never remember which one is which, that's why I was searching the net for a tutorial... Anyway, once you have the design ready, it's always better to have the border cards going in opposite directions, so as to give simmetry and better refine the ending results.

[@fiddlinwoman]

Just a possibility: Check to see if all your cards are facing to the left with ABCD clockwise on the cards and all aligned with the AB line on top to start. If you use commercial cards, all are not made with clockwise labeling.

[@سميةالياس-ر9ث]

شكرا لك على التبسيط

[@beckyp9633]

Does anyone know what the green plastic clip is, they use at the beginning of the work?

[@beckerabstracts]

I think it is used to make a firm base on which to begin weaving.

[@beckerabstracts]

You could use a barette. i hope this helps.

[@independentcraft5181]

The green plastic clip is actually a product made from IKEA, to put around plastic bags. Mostly to seal for example plastic bags for bread etc. In Swedish its called "påsklämma"

[@beckyp9633]

Thank you so much! It looks like a great clamp :)

[@beckyp9633]

Thank you. I was thinking about a barette first, but none had the locking part I could find. The ones I remember as a kid were weak and had little teeth inside. I searched through computer parts next and saw there were a few ribbon cable clamps with the lock, roughly the same shape, but they weren't as nice. I use a few sticks as weft to start weaving, but I'm in love with these bag clips. I'm going to see if our local Ikea has them when I get out that way.
