Review by Library Journal Review

Rigid heddle weaving is an accessible way to try weaving without investing the time (and the floor space) for a larger loom, but it is often seen as restrictive and limiting. Patrick's collection of patterns and projects explores the possibilities of weaving on a rigid heddle loom. From basic plain weaves to finger-controlled and pick-up techniques, Patrick guides weavers of all skill levels. Complex techniques are illustrated with step-by-step photographs, and all patterns are both photographed and charted. This is an excellent addition to any weaving collection. (c) Copyright 2010.
