Ok! The rubber bands are sophisticated weaving technology! Thank you for helping me with my tensions issues. I have been having a hard time with the tie on stage.

Thanks for the note!
Is there another video that picks up where this one left off. I’d like to see what she uses to wind the bows onto the back bar and not have it be all lumpy.

In her course (learn.longthreadmedia.com/courses/pick-up-stick-basics-and-beyond), Sara demonstrates this, but I am happy to share her tips with you! As the apron rod comes around and the tie-on bows are about to push into the weaving, she uses a 4-6" long piece of craft paper to wedge in and cover the bows. It's incredible how a little paper keeps the tension even. She also mentions a paper towel roll sliced down the middle as another option to pop over those bows. I hope that helps. Happy weaving!
