Thank you very much for making these videos available to the public and free of charge. It's a beautiful skill and art to know. You are truly a blessing to many!

I’m glad I found your channel. My mother sent me a bead loom for my birthday. I love beading but only did foundation beading. So I am following along with you. Thank you! You’re a good teacher!

[sarahbenelli]

Great instructions! I was unsure how to make a bracelet longer than that space, thank you for clarifying. 😃

Thank you! I was sent a bead loom to review and had no idea how to use it, lol. I really appreciate this.

My church craft club inherited this exact loom. So happy to learn how to use it!

[Graysunshinecries]

Very informational with clear instructions and not a lot of excess talking. I appreciate you teaching us how to bead. Thank you.

[CathyS]

Imagine the endless patterns you could make with this. Fabulous.

I have seen this done a couple of times, but have never tried it myself. It would take some experimentation to figure out. I will add it to our request list.

Good teacher! I had an idea, but this video made it much clearer Thank you.

[vickierusard]

wow..only watch to 7:30 and l am totally impressed. I just started looming like yesterday and didn't know how to make a longer piece. thank you. your instructions are amazing.

[beadaholique]

You can use many different materials to back your bead weaving. Some popular choices are ultra suede or leather, or a nice sturdy fabric.

I’m just starting out, and this was terrific! Thank you.

Thank you so much for this demonstration! I want to create a project I saw on a beading supplies catalog, which wraps around the length of a stethoscope. I am guessing to do a wrap around I will have to sew the edges together, and build the flat strip by intercalating the beads on the edges, leaving opposing blank spaces. I love this stuff!! thanks again.

After leaving the art form for a few years I am making my way back. This was a great help except my small loom did not come with those extras you showed in this video. It is a very good refresher course tho thank you

[CRAFTINGAGANDMORE]

Very good demo. Have the incentive to get back to weaving after 10+ years of not doing bead work. Thanks!

[GospelTruth]

Was very nice of you to help us understand how to bead, thank you :)

[lynnemarais]

Thanks for this. I’d forgotten how to use my loom and you explained very nicely🙂

[lindyhawthorne]

Thank you so much. Ive been googling for ages trying to find out how to make a longer bracelet.  Now I know !!!!

[beadedgranns]

To quick load the wooden loom couldn't you just wrap the threads around that wood bar and then adjust them like you did on the smaller loom? Thank you for all your tutorials they are very helpful to me.

[Bubbless]

You mentioned that you mount your work onto something else in the end, so what do you mount it on? A piece of ribbon? Sorry I know absolutely nothing about bead looming, but your video helped me greatly!
