Thank you so much for your videos. It has been about 35 years since I worked on my tapestry loom and I would like to get started weaving again. Your instructions are so great. I find I do much better when I can see things being done rather than just reading about how to do them. You have another new subscriber in me.

Thanks. Glad you are enjoying them. Happy weaving.

I've been watching your videos and you are an excellent teacher. I have no experience with weaving but you make it understandable. Thank you.

You are so welcome!

Caroline, these are terrific videos! I bought my Cactus Flower Loom about a year ago and have loved it, but feel like I will be more confident in using it now with this instruction. I also want to put in a plug - unsolicited! - for your book. It's been invaluable.

Thank you !! Now I can sleep at night, and weave much easier.

Would be nice to see some videos of patterns you have in your book ..

[@carolinespurgeon6016]

I'll add that to my list. I'm making them as fast as I can!

I am enjoying your videos about weaving on the Cactus Flower Loom but do have a question. I would love to know how you stitch up the sides of the bags and cell phone bags, it doesn't look like a whip stitch. Would you elaborate and perhaps a video if you can? Thank you.

[@carolinespurgeon6016]

I use a blanket stitch to sew the sides up. I'll do a video when I have a weaving to finish! In the meantime, here's a video on how to do the stitch:

PS. First I fold it like it will look finished and then press it. Then I blanket stitch the sides. The knots at the 4 corners - I retire them together at each edge.

Thank you, Caroline, appreciate the TH-cam and quick reply.
