I'm using 4 strands of Vevgarn as weft.Tommye McClure Scanlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816922767294739515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-86173382267590682522014-03-29T07:44:21.888-04:002014-03-29T07:44:21.888-04:00Maggie, I've got the cartoon stitched with a r...Maggie, I've got the cartoon stitched with a regular sewing thread near the top of the areas I'm working on. I use a curved needle with the thread tied onto the eye of it to do the attachment (so when I drop the needle, as I almost always do, it won't come unthreaded!). After stitching near the top edge, I clip out the lower stitching. I don't let the cartoon roll onto the cloth beam with the tapestry--I make sure it falls behind the beam. On longer tapestries, I'll roll up the cartoon as it's used up, clipping it with big paper clips to keep it rolled.<br />On this loom, because it's 60" wide, I got a piece of PVC plumbing pipe as the cartoon holder. It's tied to an upper part of the loom to hang in place behind the warp. <br />Glad the post is helpful!Tommye McClure Scanlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816922767294739515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-90801195157543611682014-03-28T16:17:19.925-04:002014-03-28T16:17:19.925-04:00I love the earthy colors of this piece!

I see the dowel you have it attached to, tied onto the loom. I will borrow that idea! Thanks!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16308570073032398834noreply@blogger.com
