Weft-Faced Pattern Weaves: Tabby to Taquete Spiral-bound – December 30, 2011

This is a comprehensive book on boundweave. The book is written in a college text format which you can follow along to create awesome samplers or expand to make anything you want. I consider myself an intermediate level weaver and found this book very informative. I will be weaving from the drafts and samples for many years. I cannot say enough good things about this book. On the other side, don't think you are going open this book to any page, pick a draft and weave. You have to be willing to understand the structure principles and how the book is written. (Read the introduction!)

This is a great book, but it does require the video. After I watched the Boundweave Video, then this book was just perfect. I am weaving the sampler from the video (also in the book) I am amazed watching the pattern develop. After the video, I am ready to tackle some of these patterns.

this is a very technical book with great illustrations. think textbook. the author knows her stuff but does not reveal her personality in any great way . this is not fluffy reading. it twisted my brain into 3d torture, but i now have a full understanding of this weave structure. i was able to produce my own bound weave projects with confidence.

This book is one to study, not just gloss over. So many good ideas but will take some time to think about it all!

I've been a hobby weaver for over 25 years, and for the last ten have been a member of a weekly weaving group. We recently decided to all try this book together, sequentially weaving the projects in it as a sampler. It's been an interesting experience.It may be that we're just not at the level where the author expects us to be. The text itself seems to be very thorough, but it is written in the manner of a college textbook, with a lot of new terminology on almost every page, sometimes to the point that it feels like we're cramming for an exam!Unless you're a very experienced weaver and/or have a young agile brain, along with this book you might want to consider getting the video ("Boundweaving",by the same author) that helps explain the various variations in this technique as throw-by-throw demonstrations.Also, go into this technique with full knowledge that it is not for the impatient... being very densely weft-faced, the weaving goes very, very slowly because you'll need to make four different throws of the shuttle for every row of the design that would take one pattern throw plus tabby in the related and more familiar Rosepath.

Great resource book and lots of patterns.

A wonderful book for those weavers who want to learn about weft-faced weaving structures. Very detailed information.

This is a quite in depth book on weaving and I love it. There is enough weaving information in this book to learn for years to come. The information is concise and the photographs are inspiring. I want to get the video now.
