I am so used to weaving on a horiontal loom that this loom is challenging for me. I feel like it is so much slower and that is probably just that my motor skills are adjusted to the floor loom and not this one yet. The leashes are slower and beating with a hand beater really slows me down. But if you like weaving on an upright loom, I think this one is very solid. If I could choose any upright loom though, I'd choose one with a shedding device of some kind that is controlled with your feet. Just my two cents! Each weaver likes something different.Rebecca Mezoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16138972934775842473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71232803753868616.post-91650038810499791162012-11-04T09:49:32.782-07:002012-11-04T09:49:32.782-07:00Well now that you have it all warped up how do you...Well now that you have it all warped up how do you like weaving on the LeClerc Gobelin Loom? I need a bigger upright loom and I'm trying to decide if I want to purchase a loom or built a scaffold loom. This loom is still on the market so it would nice to know what you think about it. <br />Thanks DeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71232803753868616.post-72878440290837670192012-04-16T17:01:53.672-06:002012-04-16T17:01:53.672-06:00Thank you all for your kind comments about my book...Thank you all for your kind comments about my book and the bumper sticker. I love the look on peoples faces when they see the so warped and tapestry weavers are warped. I have been behind in my blog reading. SO it was a very nice surprise.

I have Archie and Susan's DVD, so I will take a look at their method. Looks like it would be simpler and more effective than the way I invented myself.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912129071129770715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71232803753868616.post-23640461010888606162012-04-12T11:16:24.530-06:002012-04-12T11:16:24.530-06:00Thank you Rebecca for sharing in detail this proce...Thank you Rebecca for sharing in detail this process. I am in the process of starting to warp a large tapestry loom that belonged to Tamara Jaworska and I am quite freaked out about making a mistake in the process. i used to have these looms years ago and was familiarized to warp them often. Now, I will start again with this big loom and reading your blog made me have more confidence and courage. Thank you. Will post my warping day as well sometime soon. All the best.

I love your description of how to set it up, very clear. I'm glad you recommended Kathe's book So Warped , it was very helpful. Enjoy your new/ old loom. The family ties will make it extra special. I have one from my great aunt, I always think of her when I weave on that loom!Cathie Beckmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71232803753868616.post-13582495238041031612012-04-11T12:09:57.059-06:002012-04-11T12:09:57.059-06:00Rebecca,
