This is a tip for those tapestry weavers who have trouble getting low enough to see what they are weaving at the bottom of a frame on a table. I thought I would join Tapestry Share Blog and add it there but couldn't find out how to do it.
To weave low down on a frame attach it to an ironing board which can then be easily raised high so you can look carefully at the work you are doing without doing damage to your back. Likewise you can lower the ironing board to easily weave at the top of the frame and see closely what you are doing. Hope this is useful - it may be posted to the other blog by Jennifer.

That's a great idea Ruth - I'll add it to the Tapestry Share. I've worked with moving chairs, but I've never quite have found the table that works well enough to get my knees under it. The ironing board will do that though!!! And the beauty is that I have my grandmother's wooden one from the early 1900's. Hmmm....
Hi from Singapore Ruth. I have used a saw horse to clamp my frame onto since I first began weaving all those years ago. Debbie P.S. many people use an artist easle.
