      Is there a big difference in durability between vintage shuttle or projectile looms? I would guess each machine has its limits in certain areas. Ability to make more a slub denim? I believe vintage can make a tighter weave than projectile?

      I would love someone how is very well versed to teach me a bit about the differences. I have read some info online as well.

      Iron Hearts are projectile correct?

        IH uses both. Projectile is more consistent and shuttle is more "handcrafted" looking. also, shuttle is selvedge and projectile is non-selvedge.
        Example:

        • Projectile: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/ih-9634z.html
        • Shuttle: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/ih-634s.html
