Hello Does anyone out there know a source for the backing needed for the
Tapimatic rug making machine? It is a type of latch hook backing with
a double mesh, 3.3 holes. It has to be double mesh. The Zweigert mesh
I tried did not work. I would really like to be able to use the
machine. Thanks, Mike

Hey Mike I have the machine as well.... I was diaappointed to hear thet the double stranded zweigert did not work. I had taken a piece of my original mesh and laid it over a zweigert sample and they matched. Let me know how you make out with this... (sidet...@hotmail.com)

There's an off-chance that the cogs are standard and can be replaced.

I haven't a clue. You might try posting in rec.arts.sf.fandom with
the subject line "AKICF: rug-loom cogs"

AKICF stand for "All knowledge is contained in fandom."

It seems like the sort of post that would start a long and complicated
thread branching into several unrelated topics, and r.a.s.f. has been
slow of late.

Hi Jen, there is a Tapimatic for sale on the Goodwill website very cheaply. Might be a good option.
