Hello everyone. I just joined the group, but I don't have a Macomber loom yet. I'm looking at buying a B5, 8 harness for $450. I have an HD 4 harness, but frankly, it's not my favorite. The shafts shift alot and and mess with the shed. I've done a bit of research on the Macomber looms and it seems like they're workhorses. My questions are: do you think I could make rag rugs on the Mac? Is $450 a good price? (I'd have to drive clear across my state to get it!) It looks like it has 2 back wind up beams (pretty new to weaving terms, as I'm sure you can tell!) - what would I use 2 beams for? Ok, I think that's it for now. I'm so grateful to have a place to ask questions and not feel silly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
