    You saved me some money today I was considering purchasing a 12.5 reed for my 32" ashford heddle loom to make towels but the 7.5 seems to work just fine. Thank you for this video.

    Thank you for showing how you finish the towels with the hemming and the cutting.

    Great video! I am going to make some! I saw a video on hemming the towels while on the loom. It takes time, but I hate pulling out my machine. LOL!

    Thank you for your video. Its great. I learned pull-thru loom dressing for maximum fibre use and no cuts. Thx also for naming the fibre brand.

    I've never watched weaving on a loom from beginning to end before. Very interesting!!! Thanks so much for sharing this video, Beth! 🙂 When and from whom did you learn all your sewing and weaving?

    • @bethshibleyquilts
      @bethshibleyquilts  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I began sewing as a child and learned to weave on my own (trial and error) 😉

  • @jwstanley2645
    @jwstanley2645 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your towels look very nice and well and consistently done. You have learned the touch. If I may, and I am not trying to be terribly critical, I wish I could see how much the washing would tighten the weave. Also, a question. I have used this yarn for some projects that must be blocked and starched when washed, so, do you block or perhaps iron your towels after washing? Thank you so much for the video.

    • @bethshibleyquilts
      @bethshibleyquilts  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for your feedback and questions. Since these are just kitchen towels...I do not block or starch them. They fold very nicely after washing. The weave definitely tightens after a good washing. I LOVE using these towels.

    I noticed you only warped 64 slots, do you think a 16” loom would work?

    • @bethshibleyquilts
      @bethshibleyquilts  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don’t have enough experience to answer that for sure…but I think the 16” would work.👍

    I'm interested in making tea towels with a loom machine. Can you recommend a loom to purchase? I've seen small ones on Amazon, just not sure what to purchase for a reasonable price and good quality?

    • @bethshibleyquilts
      @bethshibleyquilts  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      My only experience is with Ashford looms and I would recommend them.

  • @lynnwittet1301
    @lynnwittet1301 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I really like how the colours work together, may I ask which brand and colours you used? I think you have a 24 inch Ashford rigid heddle loom? Would you say it’s a good size? I am thinking of getting the 32 inch as I have the 16 inch Samplit. You make warping look so easy, not my experience 😄 you have warping skills! I have a hard time with the high speed parts of videos like this but I understand why, just not easy on my eyes. Thank you so much for inspiring me to play with colours in a new way. I also appreciate your very doable way of finishing the towels. 🙏💕

    • @bethshibleyquilts
      @bethshibleyquilts  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Lynn - I used cotton yarn made by village yarn, but I've used other brands and think they all work fine for these towels. I used yarn in my stash - golden yellow and blue.
      Yes...I have a 24 inch loom that I used for this project. I purchased a 32" later and use that sometimes when I'm making something larger. I also bought a stand with that one which i would recommend if you're getting a larger table loom.
      Thank you for your comment!

    What are the "sticks" you put in a 2:46 minute?

    • @bethshibleyquilts
      @bethshibleyquilts  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      They are cardboard strips that you add before beginning the weaving. It helps the weave to be more even to begin with.

  • @janicehuff2217

    How are you getting such a clean shed with that cotton. I am having such trouble using cotton and making towels. I am not a long term weaver. And I have used TH-cam to self teach weaving and having issues with 8/2 cotton. It makes a lousy warp even using two together. It tangles, breaks and is a nightmare to use. However I have a bunch on it because other sights stated it was the product to use for hand towels. But the ones I did get done are thin and not what I would want to give for gifts. Any suggestions.

    • @bethshibleyquilts
      @bethshibleyquilts  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Janice - I am also self taught. Most of what I know I have learned by trial and error. I am using a 4 ply cotton yarn that I purchased a while ago. I have had trouble with yarns tangling and breaking on other projects. NO FUN. I’m sorry I can’t give you anything more definite....but I would encourage you to keep trying different yarns and you will find what you like and what works for you.

    Do you know how to weave cotton for clothes such as t-shirt?

    • @bethshibleyquilts
      @bethshibleyquilts  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Mery chelha - t shirt fabric is a knit and is not woven on a loom like I have. I have woven fabric and used it for ponchos and very simple projects. Maybe I’ll post a video in the future about that!
