Dan Winslow - Loom Problems, Loom Maintenance and Repairs, presented by Illinois Prairie Weavers

November 14th, Tuesday, 10A–Noon CT, In-Person Dan Winslow, the Fine Line’s loom go-to guy, is November’s presenter, with an incredibly useful discussion on making your loom sing: forestalling problems, diagnosing them AND fixing them. Dan’s seen it all, from the environmental cracks and rust to “I only wanted to move it a couple of inches…” He’ll give us suggestions on maintenance, reminding us that it’s easier and less costly than a major repair.

On a personal note, the loom in the photograph above is a product of Dan’s refurbishing talents. It’s my beloved LeClerc Compact, manufactured in 1984, has a  three digit serial number, bought used from The Fine Line, eight years ago.
