This is a fabulous DVD that should also be added to the other items in Tom's tool box. No one with a loom should be without it. Thanks, Tom for sharing all of the information contained on these 2 disks.

This has been the best DVD I have watched. Too bad that you didn't have this out before Warping Your Loom. This made things more understandable for a new weaver, so now I actually understand the other DVD's more clearly. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this DVD and others.
