Make your weaving easy and comfortable with the Trestle Stand! Designed to work with both Flip and Tapestry Looms, you can quickly adjust the angle of the loom for maximum comfort. When the loom is in the horizontal position, it is at just the right height for use with a standard chair. Our quick release system makes it easy to remove your loom from the stand for travel or storage.

Simply slide the loom into the grooves on the tops of the Trestle Stand legs, attach the adjuster bars, tighten the knobs, and you're off and weaving.

The Trestle Stand can be used with the Flip Loom and Tapestry Loom, as well as with our original (now discontinued) non-folding rigid heddle loom.

Over the years, there are have been some design changes to the Trestle Stand. These changes may require an insert kit to modify looms built prior to 2/17/10 to make them compatible with the current Trestle Stand design. The chart below identifies these situations:

Identifying Your Loom

Flip Looms and Tapestry Looms built after 2/17/10 have a black insert in each side. Look for the round black flange in the sides near the front beam.

Flip Looms built before 2/17/10 have a hole in each side near the front beam. The hole may be in front of or behind the front beam. Either hole can be used, but must be enlarged using the drill bit included in the insert kit and the inserts installed.

Tapestry looms built before 2/17/10 have a hole in the sides, either about 4" from the front of the loom, or about 10" from the front of the loom. Either hole can be used. Use the propeller nuts included with the Trestle Stand.

Some very, very old tapestry looms may not have a hole in the side (they would also be missing a hole in the heddle block). For these looms, drill a hole 10" from the front of the loom and 3/4" from the bottom of the loom side - do this on both loom sides.
