A short how-to article describing a method for cutting a finished piece off a loom without wasting warp or losing tension. The author weaves in cotton rug warp tabby shots and a thin wire, paints hot glue on the adjoining threads, then cuts the cloth off and binds the warp to the cloth beam stick with cord. The method is illustrated with one photograph of the loom, and it grew out of a linen Rose and Star runner woven in summer and winter.
