Tablet weaving on a Schacht Flip rigid heddle loom

An introduction to setting up the Schacht Flip rigid heddle loom for tablet weaving. Using the direct warping/continuous warp method and an unbroken length of yarn, the Flip can be easily warped and used to maintain tension on the warp strands for weaving long, dense bands of fabric without the use of C-clamps or an inkle loom. Using handpainted yarn allows for an unexpected but beautiful result when card weaving.

Thanks so much for posting this. I have a ridged heddle loom and when I saw a few video's on the tablet weaving, I also got to thinking about how to use the rigid heddle loom and be able to do more patterning on it.

I was thinking about how you did it, and also about making a lot of cards and actually using the cards as my heddles. If I get around to doing that, I'll have to make a video of it.

Thanks again!

Great use of your loom. Look for the video of Linda Hendricson warping and droping cards. Much faster method then the way you did it.

It's great that you are thinking outside the box. This would definately allow for a much longer warp than my inkle. Thanks for sharing this great idea!
