I’m a bit stressed putting together my new Kromanski; it has text about voided warranty if the front and back are flipped. It doesn’t have nearly as clear instructions as the SampleIt did. Also, my right side heddle blocks’ little wooden nubs is not really going in. :-(

Can anyone tell if there’s anything obviously wrong so far? Also, on the Kromskis, is the logo generally on the front side or the back side? That might help me orient a bit.

@jonobie @weaving It's not very intuitive! I have an older version, and the kromski logo is on the back end of the loom. Here is a picture of my loom in the process of direct warping. The right side of the picture is the front of the loom.

Folk might be interested to know that across the month of May, Sustainable Fashion Week’s campaign invites people to mend one piece of clothing, celebrating repair as an act of empowerment.

I think I'll have a go at my pile. If anyone wants to share mending projects or pics, that'd be lovely.

The stats for why is great are pretty compelling:

ugh. no matter how long i cut the thread, it is never enough for the portion i have sew by hand.

@blogdiva I absolutely don't try. Unless it's like three or four stitches, I thread a needle with an arm's length of thread and if I have some left over I tie it off and use it next time. (Yes I'll have a few needles threaded with different colours at times. This actually works out for me so now it's kind of a mending hack. xD )

This is incredible - Tracey Clement, a lecturer at #ACU, used #embroidery to visualise the devastating #bushfires in Australia.

Her work is rage expressed in thread, each stitch a jibe at the people who continue to vacillate in the face of a climate emergency.

Incredible.

They still need hems but that’s a pretty good waistband!

Sometimes – the backside of embroidery makes an interesting pattern! 🪡😊👏

Happy weekend stitching! 🥰💖
