A short article from the Minnesota Weaver on assembling and finishing projects woven on a rigid heddle or frame loom. It covers pillow fillings, an inner pillow slip, a zippered fabric-backed pillow cover, twisted cord and tassel trims, and a lined Greek bag with a cord or braid handle. It closes with two book recommendations. The scan's second page also carries unrelated Weavers Guild newsletter items: a Guild and Science Museum of Minnesota class program, an educational coordinator's statistical report for 1975-76, and a report on a color and design workshop.

A one-page article on soumak, a wrapping technique in which weft yarn is wound over warp threads to give a flat, tapestry-like or weft-face surface, often used for rugs. It explains the stitch's slant, its use as a main or supplementary weft with tabby, and describes three types: Oriental, Single (Swedish tapestry) and Greek soumak, illustrated with diagrams. It also gives tips on avoiding warp distortion and cites two weaving handbooks for further reading.
