Review:
As we look back over the history and evolution of weaving, there are critical points in history where ideas and technology and materials collided at just the right mix to push forward and enable a new generation of inventors, creativity, and technologies.
The Draw loom evolved rapidly during this time to become the NEW draw Loom and the Jacquard technologies looms and soon weaving was on its way to a new level of automation, creativity and productivity.
Here you can read about the "historical" forms of the Draw Loom and see the underpinnings that spurred this revolution forward.
Understanding these systems and tools and technology is fundamental to understanding the later weaving methods and looms, and can save you a great deal of confusion and stress.
This tome has great drawings and illustrations that make each point of loom design and construction crystal clear.
Explanations of everything from pulley motions and cording to loom tensioning and stability and more are clear.
Step by stem methods of use, construction, and the rationale for methods of the technology and use are explained clearly.
Terminology, including esoteric and arcane technology and weaving terms are explained nicely so we can understand them.
Simple and direct but with ALL the detail to understand every operation in the loom.
If you are a weaver, or a textile geek, or a textile or technology historian you deserve to have a copy of this to read and keep for reference.

Customer Testimonials and Reviews:
Hi, I just want to tell you I received the CD today! I absolutely love your elegant packaging! I think I will get another CD to give as a gift for my best friend who is crazy about crochet! Sue H.
Dear folks at Patterns-on-CD, thank you for shipping the cd out so quickly. I am new at crocheting and I am finding the instructions very clear and easy to follow! Your CD is so easy to use. I can print out just the pages I am working on and scribble my notes on the print-out without worry. My dog chewed part of the pattern sheet I was working on, but no worries, I just print out another sheet! I am keeping the print outs in a 3 ring binder and even printed  the lace images I like for the binder cover. Thank you for making this rare antique book available on CD ROM!
