I took a class in weaving at college, and another from a weaver where I lived several years later...and I did buy a loom ...a string heddle one...so quiet to weave on. I made several things. Then we moved and I really did not have a place for it, and hadn't used it for many years, so I sold it. I do miss it and have been thinking of getting a tabletop loom, but want to be sure I would really use it before investing the money. It would be a bit difficult to use handwoven fabric in a quilt, ad the weave isn't at all as tight as commercial fabric is.
