" Hi! I just bought a set of looms at a thrift store (whole set for just $2.00!), but the instructions were difficult to understand. Your site made it very clear. Thank you!"

" I am so excited to have found this site. I have a hexagon loom for placemats that my father-in-law made me. My mother-in-law and I made placemats for different holidays for our tables. My dear mother-in-law has passed away and I just found my loom which I had forgotten how to use. I am excited to try some of the new yarns and plan to get a 6" one as well. Thank you so much for this website."

"I was elated to find your site. We just picked up a square loom at a rummage sale and the children are having a ball with it. Sitting there with them this evening I remembered making trivets on the hexagon looms when I was a child...Your site is wonderful, and I can't wait to get started."

"Thank you, thank you, and thank you again!!! I tried for so long now to find this information and just couldn't on the web. I read the blog and saw your information regarding this website and rushed to it. It has been truly helpful. I have an old wooden placemat loom and just for the life of me couldn't figure out how to start a placemat on it. When I made them when I was younger, like 20 years ago, I didn't cut the loops on the edges, but I like that effect from seeing yours done.
Thank you again!!!"

"Wonderful diagrams of the basic weaving process on the hexagonal loom! I was given one with very cryptic instructions. Your site has made all things clear. Thank you so much."

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the information you have provided me. Years ago my daughters made placemats using the Love & Money hexagon loom and gave them as gifts. Now that my granddaughters are all at the age to continue the tradition I can't find the loom. After being on e-bay and seeing how much the looms cost, I thought that my husband could make the loom out of wood. I work in a library and was able to find a librarian to help me with my quest of getting the dimensions. Lo and behold she found you and your web site! You have no idea how much I needed this information so I could pass it on to my grandkids. Thank you!!"

"Thank you for your website. I misplaced the instruction booklet that came with my looms and wanted to start making the coasters and pot holders again. Your instructions are very helpful to remember how the weaving process is done. I did many, many placemats, coasters and pot holders many years ago for gifts at Xmas for family and friends and enjoyed doing them. My looms have gone thru many moves with me and I almost tossed them at one point. Am glad I kept them. Thank you again for this great information you are sharing with those of us who do this wonderful art/craft of weaving. It is very simple once you get the hang of it!"

"Hello, I just found your site yesterday. My mother pasted away in Dec. 2007. She had tryed every craft know to man, I believe. We found her loom and none of the family could remember how to do it. I always say you can find ANYTHING on the net. Thank you very much. I look forward to having instructions on making the looms."

"I just wanted to say Thank you!!! for creating this site. My grand parents have a whole set of looms, and used to make these hex-shaped pot holders when I was a kid, but they don't remember the instructions. I'm really looking forward to trying your patterns. Again, many thanks!!"

"Wow your web site is great. I inherited mine from my grandfather too. He made his own and the nails scratch the heck out of your hands. I am trying to figure out what I can cover the tips with so I can loom again. I love some of the patterns you have posted."
