Claudia Segal has commented on Countermarche loom: sinking or rising shed?:
Thanks for the hints for tying up. I have the loom all set and was working on the draft with my weaving software and am never certain which to specify. I will set PixeLoom for sinking shed and see how it goes.
I appreciate all the help. I have all of Joanne Hall's books and got the chance to meet her in person at TNNA last month. She is such a lovely person and an excellent teacher.

Claudia Segal has commented on Countermarche loom: sinking or rising shed?:
Yes, the countermarche has 2 shafts going up and two going down on most drafts. I agree, I thought only jack looms could be rising or sinking shed but when I am planning in Pixeloom I have to designate which I using. I also thought that on the countermarche loom I will see the "right" or pattern side when I weave but now I have doubts. This is the first coverlet I've ever tried to plan and I am in the sample phase now. I want to be sure it will look good in the yarns I have chosen and I want to be sure I like the pattern enough to make an entire coverlet out of the chosen design.

Claudia Segal has commented on Overshot sampler help needed:
Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions. I am doing some samples on PixeLoom and then will start threading the loom soon. I like the idea of feathering the tabby and look forward to reading the article you have posted the link for. I appreciate the helpful ideas.

Looks like a Leclerc Cendrel to me. Check it out here http://halcyonyarn.com/weaving_smalllooms.html

Claudia Segal has commented on 5th project - cream runner with pickup stick and texture:
Looks good! I use adding machine tape and mark out my pattern on it then keep it pinned to the right edge of my project about 1/2 to 1" from the selvedge. I make sure it is the weaving length including take-up and shrinkage and then write in the places and pattern changes before I begin weaving. I use it for making even stripes, too. Works quite well for me. Better than a tape measure.
