I also have two Magpie mini beaters. I use the Leclerc (which is much wider) when I have the whole row to beat in and the Maggie when I am doing shapes. I like the ones with metal tines as they slide smoothly between the warps. I found the all wood ones (of which I have several) to bang against the warp threads at times.Trish at Tangled Threadsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71232803753868616.post-32450640034980836842014-12-10T20:20:39.450-07:002014-12-10T20:20:39.450-07:00I'm one of the Shannock heavy brass beater dev...I'm one of the Shannock heavy brass beater devotees! I'm also a fan of John Moss brass tipped bobbins, more to help place the weft than to use as a bobbin, and sometimes on small pieces I use a grattoir (sp?). Those are my tools; none of the wooden beaters are in use any more.<br /><br />The Shannock beater excels in producing the nice firm tapestry I like!Mernahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394194088532001457noreply@blogger.com
