How can I make the edges on my loomwork even?
There are several things you can do to make loomwork edges neater: One factor to consider is thread tension. When tightening the weft threads in a row, the thread should be smooth and snug but not tight enough to distort the warp threads at the edge. Another factor is bead type. Some seed beads, like Delica beads and Japanese round seed beads are relatively uniform, while Czech seed beads can be inconsistent in size or shape. You can also make simple edge adjustments while weaving. If a row seems to be getting a little short, try placing a wider bead at the outer edge. With practice, your eye will start to notice edge variations, and youll be able to correct them as you weave.
