If I hadn't found a video of someone using this technique I would have wasted my money. I have been weaving for 50+ years and found Jason's instructions wanting. It's an example of "If you know what he means, then it seems okay". I didn't know what he meant and thought the instructions could have been a little more generous. I am a great fan or his and his dad's and like the idea of the pdf but couldn't have understood it without the independent video I found on Youtube.
