Hi there,

I used to belong to Weavolution but lost my username and password, hence it looking like I just joined. I've just recently decided it's time to return to weaving after child-induced :-) hiatus. After a lot of thinking I bought a Jane loom - my first time with a new rather than just "new to me" loom. I took it out of the box today and it looks awfully flimsy -- honestly with all the plastic bits and dowels it made me think of Ikea furniture. So I'm wondering if people out there have had the Jane for any length of time and can assuage my fears? Maybe I'm just not used to new features?

I saw someone else get into quite a bit of trouble on the forums for complaining about a loom, so please don't take this the wrong way. I'm honestly just looking for feedback to feel better about my purchase or to make me decide whether or not I should be seeing if there is any way I can return this loom.

Thanks! Jennifer

Louet makes a great product, sleek and well designed. I have had a couple of the pre-jane table looms and found them very durable!  I would go ahead and get that loom assembled and have many years of fun with it!  Louet & Jane Stafford were always extremely helpful if needed.

I see my post went up twice - not sure how that happened?

Anyway, thank so much! I have put it together and am looking forward to getting back at it. I seem to be missing a metal warping rod, but once I have that sorted I will be on my way. Thanks again.
