Today the United States Patent Office is issuing our second patent and we want to invite you to celebrate with us.
The weaving method for the Jewel looms is now patented as “CONTINUOUS STRAND WEAVING PENTAGON PIN LOOMS AND METHODS OF USE”, U.S. Patent No. 11,946,174.
The information has not yet made it to the Google patent search engine, but you can view the patent information at the United States Patent and Trademark Office USPTO … enter 11946174, click “Search”, then scroll down for the patent info (I will update this section when a direct link is available).
Since it is rather difficult to invite you all for cake …
here is A RAFFLE FOR ONE JEWEL LOOM instead. The winner will receive an Original Jewel Loom in R-regular or F-fine sett (winner’s choice). The giveaway is open to all, and it is simple to participate: Taking a break from filing patents (haha!), what should I/Gabi do more of? Should I make more/different looms, design more projects, organize activities like a weave-alongs, write pin-loom weaving related books? Tell me what you think!
The raffle is now closed. Congratulations to Megan McHugh for winning a Jewel Loom Kit!
We will ask Mr. Random to select a winner and make the announcement on Friday here on this blog.
Congratulations!! I am new to pin loom weaving and I am definitely getting one of yours next.
Hey Gabi! Congratulations!
You have led some great WALs and I hope for more but please write a book.
Congratulations on the patent!! Please add me to the raffle
“Should I make more/different looms, design more projects, organize activities like a weave-alongs, write pin-loom weaving related books” – All of the above š
Go bigger! I’d love a size up from the Texas Turtle!
Congratulations on receiving the patent! Thatās a wonderful accomplishment. I was fascinated by all your various patterns on Etsy and I think a book of patterns such as those would be fabulous!
Congrats Gabi on the new patent. I love your looms and since I stocked up at Weave Together Iāve been enjoying making things
I would love to see you publish a book with all of the various patterns you have designed specifically for your (not square) various Turtle Looms shapes. I have access to many of them via your blog, my subscription to Little Looms magazine, and your Ravelry page. But to have them all in one resource would just be the best! š
A second patent ā¦ what an accomplishment! I am so happy for you!
Would always enjoy new loom options, new project ideas. Keep being creative so that we can!
Congrats! I would say please write a book! I would definitely buy it and would love to add it to my collection! I am just loving my loom!
Congratulations on the second patent! What an accomplishment!

So exciting! Congratulations!
Congratulations!! What a wonderful accomplishment! I love playing with your looms, especially the fine sett.
What an intresting shape! My patchworker heart goes a flutter.
I suppose two of them would make a heart.
Yes, two of them do make a heart!
I would love a Zoom workshop on joining.
Congratulations on the new addition to pin loom geometry!
Love your products! Any of the options would be nice, but I think a project book should be #1. Keep up the terrific products.
Would love to see a new loom! As we all know, one can never have too many looms!
This looks like a great pin loom design. Congratulations! I love my two Turtle looms. Best wishes to the winner of this contest. It will be fun to see designs using this loom in future issues of “Little Looms.”
Congratulations! I can only imagine how much work is involved for getting a patent! I love my turtle looms, the process of weaving on them is so soothing to me. I would encourage you to write a book! Your patterns and videos are fabulous. Cheers – Miki
