It’s been a while since you ladies posted this very informative video, but I thank you very much for teaching us all your method of weaving beads. I have this loom on order and am very excited to start weaving using your methods. ❤️
can you please do a video that shows how to add cording along along the edge of a beaded bracelet piece made on a ricks loom. this would also show how a button would be added at the top and how the bottom is finished with a button loop. i would REALLY like to see this. thanks
Hi Ruth. We don't have a video showing the whole process, but you might find the instructions for our Loving Looming bracelet helpful: artbeads.com/design-studio/loving-looming-designer-blends-bracelets/
Starting to learn my way around. One note I wish the rods were notched so the threads don’t move around even though they are tight. Thanks for the tips...
How do you finish the ends, there will be a loop still showing or you pull the threads tight for the 1st few rows then loosen then once finished to hide the end loops
Ridiculously easy LOL! Thank you Cynthia for the great tips,i really found helpful because i'm like Kristal i've ever play whit a beading loom so Kristal if you worked whit please let me know & maybee i will gave a try LOL! Thank you for this fun episode Ladies!

Hi Sylvie,
I am glad that you liked this video. I was so intimidated by
the loom at the beginning but it is so simple to use. And super fun! I
hope that one day you will be able to play with it!!!

How to measure length of bracelet on a bead loom?
Hi Debbie. When setting up the loom, you set it up for a certain length. For example, in our Tiernan bracelet (www.artbeads.com/design-studio/tiernan-celtic-loomed-bracelet/), we set the loom to approximately 163mm for 75 rows of seed beads. This makes a bracelet with a 7 to 7 1/2-inch wrist size. You also have to keep in mind that the clasp you add will add length. If you find your bracelet is a little short, you can always add more rows by hand. Learn how to do that here: www.artbeads.com/design-studio/altering-loomed-bead-work-by-hand/
Do you know of a video that shows loom work with 2 hole beads like Tila beads or Superduos?
Thanks so much for making the loom look so much more user friendly. It has been such an intimidating process for me to learn. Can you please show, explain or mention a place or how to make projects longer than the loom? Most people just use it for bracelets but what about hat bands and other things. Thanks again!
Hi Amanda! To make something longer than the loom, you would create your piece in sections and stitch the sections together. We explain this process in this tutorial: www.artbeads.com/connecting-loom-beadwork.html. I hope this helps! - Becky
Becky, your AMAZING!! Thanks so much!!
