Hello,
I am having trouble finding the videos for Fiberworks Mac and the PDF handout.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Sandra,
Nevermind :) I found what I was looking for. It was just taking forever to load the website as I live in a rural area and it's cloudy.
Joys of living away from it all...but lots of time to learn how to weave.

Happy to read that you found what you were looking for instead of having to wait for one of us to check to see if anyone was needing help!!!
I can not find how to change the sett on drawing program. I thought I had changed it before? I want to change from what is there now to 6epi. Thank you for any help.
Your sett doesn’t change in Fiberworks but you can change the size of your yarn. What you are looking at on the screen, is the pattern you are creating on your cloth. You make a note of your sett in Notes and Records - under the Cloth tab at the top of them program.

I found the area under the Ruler options, there is an option to change the EPI, which is what I needed to do. Thanks,
Thank you, Barbara! I learn something new every day. I've had Fiberworks for many years and - like so many things I'm interested in - I still don't know the full, amazing, possibilities available with that software ;-)

Thank you again, Barbara! You led me to check my version on Fiberworks and I realized the last time I had updated it was 2015!!! I've had a copy on my computer since the turn of the century ;-) Thank you for sending me down a path that ended up with me learning that there is a place to change the sett in Fiberworks and I now know where it is. 🙏

You are most welcome, Sandra! I had found the epi setting a few months ago, then forgot where it was. This time I had been in the ruler department, but didn't look down to see the epi option, lol. I spend much time over a few days looking! then I was in the rulers box again, and there it was! I love rulers, so always want that on when I am drawing my plans. I am new to weaving and to Fiberworks Since the beginning of the year. I am really enjoying it.
Is there a way in Fiberworks to find the number of warp threads for each harness?
Yes. Under the Cloth tab go into Notes and Records. Then choose the middle option, Heddle Counts. The number of heddles per shaft is the same as the number of warp threads per harness.
The one place I hadn't looked! Thanks so much!
Barbara Olson
Thank you. I recently had a project where I knew it was going to be close. I couldn't find this even after searching the internet, so just started threading. Lo and behold, I was ten short on shaft 2. This will save me next time. Hopefully, this response lands higher and higher on search engines for people looking. ;-)
