I have been thinking of getting a beading loom for a few months now, often been tempted to purchase one to 'try' it, but i want to know who uses one and what do they think of it?

* Is it worth the money?
* Has it just been a rash purchase only to be stuck in the drawer?
* Or is it the best thing you've bought?

And the biggest question is....

* Is it easy to learn to use?

Used mine once.

Stuck at the back of the shelf.

A doddle to use.

Used mine once too - it's now back in it's box Carmie

Tell ya what, we should start up a lending library, just to check out stuff to see if we like it hehe.

Trouble is, i really want to try it, is there anywhere i could get one cheap? (just incase mine ends up back in the box too lol)

Thanks anyway girls.

Bead looms are relatively cheap, and for long strips of beaded braid are invaluable.

Actually beading on them is really easy - the is setting the threads up. Well, it is for me anyway. And sewing the threads in again at the end is a bit of a bind as well.

Patterns are easy to come by - I use cross-stitch patterns (of which I have an abundance).

Used mine half a dozen times. Too much faff to set them up and then sew all the blimmin ends in. Hidden in the loft somewhere now.
