Thank you for the clear instructions, was getting confused just reading the technique. ( Love the doggie visual) :)

Thanks to this video, bubbles and butterflies you have resolved many of my weaving challenges. THANK YOU!!!

👍👍👍 THANK YOU - I literally just came over from watching your other m&s explanation on the "Four Things to Remember" video, where I had commented that it wasn't fully explained. This video here has me all brought up to speed, and reminds me why I love you 😅

Thank you so much for sharing this information! And...the way you teach makings it all understandable to my old brain! :)

Thanks Rebecca, I really enjoyed this.

I really enjoyed watching this video. I learned a lot

Thank you SO MUCH for this awesome video! I finally found out how to keep from making "lice"!! LOVE the wee doggy graphics too, very helpful!! Have a lovely day!!

You're welcome Michelle. Have fun weaving!

Hello Rebecca, thank you for this tipps. In this video you are weaving with 2 colours. When I want to use more than 2 colours in a row, how I make this? I hope so much, that you can give me a tipp for weaving with more than 2 colours. Thank you. Best wishes from Germany, Bettina

Very clear instructions. I'm a newbie and was wondering how to do that.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much

This video is so important to where I am currently in my first large project!! I was able to put it right to use to shift from meet and separate with two different colors and return to one color that goes across to the top of the tapestry!!!! This is so exciting! I wish I had found this earlier in my project. I will just have to sew up the divide. I can't tell you how happy this makes me!! Thanks so much for sharing such important information!!

@@RebeccaMezoffTapestry Thank you! I am!

Following up on my last comment, I think one of the things that made meet and separate difficult for me is that i was either weaving in or inserting objects in the warp.

Can this technique of going opposite directions be used on more than two colors?

Oops! I guess I didn't submit my fist comment! Wish I had seen this b4 i started my project. I thought i understood meet and separate, but did not totally understand the directionality part of it or double shots. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your video! I have your book and I love it but I am a visual learner and this helps a lot. I was so confused because I have another book on Navajo weaving and they have the tails in the same direction Making their shapes. I really can not wrap my head around it and just could not get it to work for me. I love learning different techniques, and am determined to figure out how this works for Navajo tapestry, any thoughts I would really appreciate. Thank you again Rebecca 💓!

Navajo weavers have everything going in the same direction. They do not use meet and separate. They create double shots or two wefts in the same shed every time one color moves over another. Most professional Navajo weavers make those double shots invisible by using very fine wefts. Thus the very slow process it is to make a Navajo textile. Learners use thicker wefts and if you examine those textiles you will see the lice where two wefts are in the same shed. Same thing for Rio Grande/Chimayo Spanish weaving.

@@RebeccaMezoffTapestry That would be great! I would love to read about it in your blog. 🙂

I’m a beginning Weaver so forgive my dumb question. I never see you switch the warp, in weaving we generally pick up every other stitch and I see that every other stitch is sticking forward and you can put your hand into the shed easily and then magically in the next row the other threads are popped forward. How do you do that?

This is a GREAT question! It isn't dumb at all. The reason in some of my videos you don't see me picking up the warps is because I'm using a loom that has a shedding device. In some videos I'm using a floor loom so I'm switching the shed with my feet. In many of them I'm using a Mirrix loom which has a bar that shifts the shed and holds it open. I do have a video on this channel where I'm picking the shed as you ask about. It is called Tapestry Weaving Demonstration on a Little Loom.

Dear Rebecca thanks for sharing this tequnique....as a beginner....i am trying to follow your instructions but i always have a hole in my weft using this method....what do i do wrong???

There are many reasons for this. Could be the yarn, but most likely you're just not putting enough weft into your turns. I talk about this in my online Warp and Weft class if you want to troubleshoot it more.

What do you do with the TAILS that are hanging out at the front of the weaving? I've only been taught to tuck tails behind - and often I end up with "Lice" !! Very frustrating. But what do we do with the tails in the front of the weaving? How do we hide them? THANKS a ton!!

@RebeccaMezoffTapestry

I weave from the back much of the time. The tails stay where they are because the front of the tapestry is the other side! I also teach weaving from the front in my online classes and this is especially useful for weaving on small looms as I show in Weaving Tapestry on Little Looms. rebeccamezoff.com/weaving-tapestry-on-little-looms

Could you please explain how to do meet and separate with 3 or more colors? Thank you!
