Good tip, thanks Kelly-Mum!

you can use small blocks of wood under the table to create more thickness, then use the clamps that come with the loom.

This is a great hack, I love it. I’m going to buy some of these clamps. Thanks Kelly.

Thank you so much for this! First time weaving at securing it to the table was driving me crazy 😂

Great idea, I have struggled with always finding a suitable place to adhere the loom because of the furniture edges in my home. Problem solved!

I always use non-skid mesh (for floor rugs) under my loom to keep it from talking a walk while warping.

Good tip ❤ I had a similar issue last week and used small F Clamps - the ones with the quick release ratchet. They don’t need as much hand strength.

You just need a stopper on each of the side rails that hang over the edge of the table to keep the loom from sliding. That could be a pair of clamps or even the same type of L shaped rod that you already have going through a hole drilled in the side rail. A hanging shelf bracket could also serve as a kind of cleat by hooking over the bottom rail and hanging over the edge of the table. This could be made out of a few pieces of wood. Agree with the nonslip rug backer or shelf liner. You could also just put a board hanging over the edge of the table a clamp the loom to that. The clamp will act as a stop.

The spring clamps are very hard to open. I use Irwin’s Quick Grip clamps which have a lever to open them and are easy and quick to tighten.

Just slip a notepad or something similar to add a bit of thickness at the edge.

Alternatively for those who don't have clamps and in a hurry to start weaving, using thick cardboard, folded newspaper, maybe even a book will add extra depth to allow the original clamps to be used.
