Learn to Weave on a Four Shaft Loom

I recently made a scarf and watched the video on hemstitching while I was hemstitching the scarf. I have watched countless YouTube videos on hemstitching and also have referenced so many books and for some reason could never be consistent in my method. Your video was so clear and so easy to follow. It is the nicest hemstitching I have ever done!

The video course that Gather Textiles has takes you through all the steps from using a warping board, chaining the warp and then tying on your warp to the loom. Info on how to read a pattern, weave it and then finishing your weaving project. I took the class in person and received this course to refer to. It’s been wonderful resource.
