I have never used a knitting loom before. I want to make placemats and coasters. Is this loom good for those kinds of projects?

You could. If you intend on making a double-knit placement, it might be helpful to get one of those KK Loom clips? Coasters, you might want a smaller loom with the pegs closer together so you can get a smaller knit/weave.

Yes, I used mine to make a supportive pillow to sit on for meditation. It should work just fine for those projects.

I use mine for knitting projects and have no problems at all. Any plastic will mold if exposed long term to very damp conditions. If I was worried about such, I would periodically turn it inside out and swab with bleach and let it dry before using it again.

Yes,I have used it to sew a quilt top together because it stitches a seam and overlocks at the same time. It is especially good for knit fabric. :-)

That's a hard one because they are both wonderful products! The plastic pegs are easier to work with over all. I think the basic knit that comes off the 28 inch knitting board is better for panels. The all in one I think would be easier for garments or three dementional objects like little stuffed animals. Also for beginners the all in one might be easier to learn off of. With the metal pegs they are very close together and you could easily miss winding the yarn around for your pattern. I have both boards and like both but I lean towards the 28 inch knitting board. I hope this helps. Enjoy creating!

Yes. My daughter has both the Fun Loom and Rainbow Loom and they work on both just fine.

This is absolutely suitable for crochet. I both knit and crochet and find this very helpful in keeping track of rows.

Not sure what type of projects you plan, but I use it for felting animals and figures. It is easy to work with, and felts much better than some of the other wool I have.

Yes, I think it probably would be a good case for that! I'm not totally familiar with the Rainbow Loom product, but I looked it up and it seems like it would work. The compartments are varying sizes (not moveable) and it's fairly deep. It's deeper than it looks in the photos. If I hadn't given it as a gift, I'd post better pictures.

Hello. I have this loom and I can tell you that it is much larger than I thought it was when I ordered it, having 128 pegs with an extension with 40 more pegs. It is great for larger projects. Sincerely, Kelsang Pelkyong

It would work great. I use it for craft beads. Get the plastic see through so you can see what's in the bottom.

I use it to make anything from jewelry pendants to paperweights to switch covers. Actually the bigger the project, the quicker it actually sets. What are you planning on making? If you don't mind me asking :)

Yes but they are the very basic ones. If u go to their website u can find far more techniques as well. I also recommend any book by "I Phelps" esp her Loom Knitting Primer as it has VERY detailed directions for all loom types but it's awesome for learning various stitches. Youtube is another good resource and if u search that author, you'll find her website which has quite a few free patterns as well. I don't remember if the Cd I have came with this or my sock loom by same. Company but u can find same info in Youtube by them. Personally think the All-in-One is really great because of how adjustable it is--basically making it easier to do many things including socks but this is nice due to length. Not too long or short so if u want to make clothing or small items u can--i bought since HAD original sock loom. Still find the AIO bit better somehow. Hope this helps :)

They are good for most bracelets and such. I think these are second best only to the original Rainbow Loom Bands. I recommend them. I don't think any of these types if bands would stretch that big.

I think this might be a felting machine, like Simplicity's deluxe felting machine, so you could probably use any fabric that would be suitable for needle felting (fleece, felt, bulky knits, etc.).

In my opinion, no it is not a good option. It is hard to hold and working the yarn can be a challenge if it is on the loom even a little bit tight. My Mom is 91 and even though she is in great shape I don't think she could manage this because her hands just aren't as agile as they once were, the tools are flimsy and frankly it is just kind of tedious. I would try a Knifty Knitter. The pegs are larger, the instructions a little simpler and the results are faster. Like most things from Martha Stewart this is needlessly difficult.

Yes...easily....especially for small applications. I have used for mostly big applications like table tops with mementos submerged into the resin. For coasters.....this may sound stupid but it is quite simple. Use a Red Solo Cup this would make for a great coaster casting mold....it is a bit small on the bottom but they do make larger cups that you could use the base for coasters. It's simple because you put in whatever you want to preserve in the resin. Once it hardens you just cut and peel the plastic cup away and it comes off/out like an ice cube from an ice cube try. Hope this helps! I have also used Forceflex garbage bags to catch overspill and noticed that it peels easily from forceflex bags.....so you could make your own cup mold with forceflex bags...but it will have the diamond pattern in the cast resin.
