This little loom does something else: it holds the fabric flat and lets you weave a small square of new cloth straight across the gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finished patch is a real woven grid, over and under, in whatever color thread you feel like. That is the point of it.

Nothing plugs in, nothing charges, nothing turns on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it does have is a row of small hinged wire hooks. Those hooks are the whole trick. They catch every other one of your up-and-down threads and lift them, which opens a clean gap for the needle to slide through in one pass. Flip the hooks the other way and the opposite threads rise.
