I think I'm going to try backstrap weaving again, but instead of using cards, I might just make a heddle string. I want to eventually weave fabric so that I can use it for patches and maybe eventually make clothes/accessories and I think I'd have an easier time with a heddle than cards. By what I've seen, cards are definitely better for smaller pieces like bands and you can get a lot more color work in them, but I want something that's going to be pretty mindless and can cover a wider amount of real estate so heddle strings on a backstrap loom might be my best bet.
If you've used a back strap loom and heddle strings, what advice do you have for someone who's new to weaving?
