A one-page column from Minnesota Weaver collecting practical weaving tips contributed by Betty Peter. It describes homemade tools and fixes: a large tapestry needle made from a discarded toothbrush, a long thin needle made by bending a flat heddle, a bobbin winder adapter made from a plastic thread spool, and a way to lengthen a warp with string loops attached by larkshead knots. The column invites readers to submit their own hints.

A one-page 'Swap Shop' column of weaving tips from Minnesota Weaver. It explains how to tie a stop knot for loom cords, gives two methods for improving selvage tension (smaller lashing groups, and pegs or a nail on the back beam for fine worsteds), and recommends a hot glue gun for finishing hangings and sample swatches. The page carries a House of Macrame advertisement header and credits to Peter Collingwood's Shuttle Craft Monograph and The Threadbender.
