I've only had one problem so far. The loom is in excellent condition. The metal pegs on one of the rollers have been the only problem I've had. All of them appear. My first project was almost lost in the middle when the peg to which it was attached broke. The problem is solved with a little epoxy. It's a good-sized loom that works well once the peg problem has been resolved. If you buy it, I recommend tugging on the pegs a little before starting to make sure they stay in place. When I was researching this type of loom, I noticed that this peg issue appeared to be present in almost all of them. It didn't matter what brand it was or how big it was.
I can't comment on "durability" because I've only used it once. It appears to be fairly durable, and I don't see any reason why one part would fail over another. I looked around for prices and kept coming back to this one. Because my arthritic fingers don't hold on as well as they used to, I purchased this. It was a lot easier to warp than another smaller loom I have, and it didn't slip off the slots on me at all. For the sake of convenience, I'll choose this over my other smaller loom.
This was my first time weaving with a loom. The instructions for setting up the loom were straightforward. The instructions for getting started weaving were clear and concise. I felt confident in weaving after watching a few YouTube videos. The first piece of advice I would give is to toss out the loom's beads. They were a complete nightmare. At 25 of the beads were too small for the needle at 25 of the needle at 25 of the needle at 25 of the needle at 25 of Make a second pass with this thread- through. I went to the bead shop in my neighborhood. 8 seed beads were purchased. They did a fantastic job. However, when I went to remove the "completed" piece from the loom, I discovered that there were no instructions. There isn't a single word about how to untangle your loomed piece. I'll have to look into YouTube when I have the chance. It would also be beneficial if they demonstrated how to secure your completed work with a clasp. My contribution will consist of: preferably - If I can find a way to add a clasp, it will be a bracelet. I would have given the loom five stars if the instructions were clearer.
The beads that came with the kit were never used, and I quickly upgraded my thread. Overall, it appeals to me. I'm new to the craft, but I was able to complete a fairly difficult pattern with ease. For the price, I believe it is an excellent loom for beginners.
Overall, I was very pleased with this loom. The product is of good quality and is simple to operate. The only issue I had with it was that the instructions were difficult to follow; however, I found that watching a few YouTube videos was far more helpful. The loom can hold up to 65 beads and is as long as you want it to be. I've never used a bead loom before, but I've made a bracelet so far and am very pleased with how quickly and easily it came together!.
The loom itself appears to be functional, but after about 10 bracelets, I had to purchase a new one. This is due to the wire that makes up the warp thread grooves being spread out a little too far for 11/0 seed beads to fit in. This would work well for larger beads, but getting the warps close enough for tiny beads requires a lot of effort.
This was used for a large project and will be used for many more in the future. The item is approximately five inches wide by eight inches long for those who are curious about its dimensions. As a result, the open space between the coils is that size; however, once you've finished a section, you can roll it over the wooden rollers to make a longer piece. I also used it to make a lanyard, and simply rolled the finished parts over the dowel to keep the pattern going until I reached the desired length.
It was difficult to keep the threads stretched tight after they were arranged on the loom, which is quite light. To keep the threads taut, I found myself twisting, wrapping, taping, and knotting them. It was, however, relatively simple once I figured that out. My 8-year-old grandson even made a simple bracelet for his mother, and he had a lot of fun doing it. br>br>It includes needles, thread, and beads; The best thing to do with these is to toss them out and invest in some "big eye" beading needles and size 8/0 (3 mm) seed beads. I also used both heavy-duty and light-duty equipment. light-duty quilting thread and nylon light-duty quilting thread With great success, I used heavy-duty beading thread.
