Last year I got frustrated with the wrapping so then I put a very pretty color thread in my machine and started zig zagging the same way with the cording alone with no fabric. Surprise I loved it.
Awesome! I love watching your tutorials. Your instructions are clear and the projects you choose are always fun :-) Thank you for sharing your passion! I have figured out I need to listen at a low volume and .75 feedback speed. I was feeling like I was being yelled at, now it's all good. I have a lot of old videos to watch and catch up on... technology is a good thing.
I've been making these for years, never used glue, just wrapped, but I think it's a great idea. I like them for big coasters, just keep it flat and keep going until it's the size you want.
Have made thousands of these bowls. I use a synthetic 1/4 inch rope as it makes them stiffer and not so floppy. I inch strips and I glue my pieces of material together. Wrap as I go so colors end where they start. I end it off with a loop at the top. They are fun to make.
I bet this wrapping the clothesline/zigzag together in a circle (but keeping it flat) is how you would make a rag rug or placemat. Perhaps for a rug you would want to use a thicker thread like cotton quilting thread or something. Or use the technique to make coasters! Great video:) You could also cut up old clothes or sheets to make strips, too, but the jelly roll strips are SO cute!
Jus found ur tutorials last week. I have watched several and I can see and almost feel the passion u have for what u do...I have followed one of ur tutorials and I have one word for u ...amazing!
Thanks for the tutorial. I used scraps. I also did all my wrapping first then sewed. It is much easier to wrap when not attached to the machine. I had a huge ball of wrapped washing line on the floor.
Lovely handy little bowl, lots of uses, I'm thinking of colour coordinating with my bathroom decor and putting my favourite variegated soaps in it or potpourri. Thanks Vanessa !
Awesome! I love watching your tutorials. Your instructions are clear and the projects you choose are always fun :-) Thank you for sharing your passion!
Thank you Vanessa.....I have made my first one and it came out perfect d/t your excellent communication skills......wonderful idea and excellent gift for anyone on your list............I would say it is an inexpensive one but the rope is a cost......but what a wonderful end product.
Super cute. Would love to try this but I can see it would be time consuming and I wonder how my hands would hold up. Thanks Vanessa for another wonderful tutorial.
Thanks for the tutorial. I’ve been making rope coiled bowls, trivets, etc. I find that steam ironing the bottoms of the bowls flattens them nicely. Also steam the trivets well on both sides to flatten them!
Good morning Vanessa!. I really like the pattern from the bowels. I have bags of these scraps. Been wondering what next? To use them up. I was wondering, could the shellacked to protect from the elements for gazebo? Just a thought. I will be making plenty. Great gifts. Thanks so Much for sharing..
I don't care what your wall of the sewing room looks like, your camera man needs to show me what you are doing at the sewing machine. You have a lovely personality, but it's frustrating that I don't know what is going on under the needle. Thank you for sharing your skills. 🥰
I've made rope bowls, but not with fabric. Your tutorial was very well done, and I thank you for all your good hints. Did you use a zig-zag blade in your rotary cutter? It looked to me like some of the edges were cut that way.
Re: The ? about the brand of sewing machine being used. The Juki is in her home studio...this is MSQC sponsored. Which ever machine she uses is fine with me. I love her tutorials...easy to understand and fun to do.
I’m interested in information on the tip you used for your glue. Is that something I can purchase? Your video was great. I enjoy finding new projects to work on.
I have made several bowls (what fun), some large circles to use for hot things on the table, and I am making a bunch of circles that will be artistically arranged for an area rug. I find that make an actual rug is difficult unless you have a very large area that is all the same height. Otherwise, even the smallest change in surface the rug will not lay flat. If anyone has any ideas on how to do a flat circular rug, please let me know.
I have made three of these bowls and love them. but I am having an issue when I zigzag. I have followed ur instructions on changing the needle. when I am zigzagging it will go fine then the zigzag doesn't keep going it misses. is there something that you know that I may be doing wrong? I even thought that because it is thicker like quilting that I took the pressure off foot and that didn't change.
Icis Threez 90/14 or 100/16. If your using a heavier fabric like denim, use a leather needle 100/18. Will hold up better for all the thicknesses. The heavier the material the higher the numbers for your needle. Hope that makes sense. Remember as a standard rule.
Just out of curiosity. where do you get your source of clothesline from? I had to look really hard 2 years ago when I watched this video first. I thought you might have listed it in your supplies, but I did not see it?
Julie Payne CVS pharmacies carry it in their dollar section, usually by diapers. Wal-Mart carries it in the laundry basket section, Ace Hardware, True Value, Lowe's, Home Depot and Walgreens also carry it. Hope this helps
I like sitting in a comfortable chair, watch some videos and wrap my cording, then I'm ready to sew it together. After making a few, you can guess how much clothesline you need to wrap for the size bowl you want.
I love this! I have a beautiful basket I bought at a craft fair and have wanted to learn to make these. Easter, here I come!
Your an excellent teacher. Thanks .
Out of all the videos an books ,you make it look ssooo easy . Thank you so much . Love ,love .❤

Vanessa, these little bowls would make great bowl cozy’s for your soups, stews and chilis too!

I like the idea of making a rug or place-mat like this... or even a potholder!! :)

I love rope bowls.
I like to rip my strips. It gives you a nice frayed look which adds texture.
Liked that very much. Will have to try it sometime.

Thanks for the tutorial. I’ve been making rope coiled bowls, trivets, etc. I find that steam ironing the bottoms of the bowls flattens them nicely. Also steam the trivets well on both sides to flatten them!
Love the simple technique of this project. I have so many remnants to use. Now I don't feel so bad about having not used all the fabruc😁
This is awesome to watch now to make it haha
Thinking of Making a Feline Bed for my Lady Lovee. Thank you.
Loved the tutorial!
So awesome!
This would be a great way to use up scraps. Why cut up great fabrics. We all have scraps stashed. Great video!
This I like very much. thank you so very much.
Must try this.
Good morning Vanessa!. I really like the pattern from the bowels. I have bags of these scraps. Been wondering what next? To use them up. I was wondering, could the shellacked to protect from the elements for gazebo? Just a thought. I will be making plenty. Great gifts. Thanks so

Do you change the thread color for different colored fabric or stay with one color thread ?
Hey, would you show how to make a square cozy. I make TV dinners in three compartment glass containers. And need cozy for them?
Where do you get your rope? It looks whiter than the rope that I get. Thank you for sharing your tutorial!
I've made rope bowls, but not with fabric. Your tutorial was very well done, and I thank you for all your good hints. Did you use a zig-zag blade in your rotary cutter? It looked to me like some of the edges were cut that way.
great tutorial, what if you want it bigger and you don't cut the right length of clothesline, how do you add more clothesline for it to be secure?
Do you have a video or instructions on how to make an oval bowl?
Re: The ? about the brand of sewing machine being used. The Juki is in her home studio...this is MSQC sponsored. Which ever machine she uses is fine with me. I love her tutorials...easy to understand and fun to do.
Great idea. Definitely know I can find a lot of scraps for this project...dee
OMG
soooooo cool!
I’m interested in information on the tip you used for your glue. Is that something I can purchase?
Your video was great. I enjoy finding new projects to work on.
Use ANY gluestick. School glue in a stick is very cheap.

If anyone has any ideas on how to do a flat circular rug, please let me know.
With rugs you have to use a starch and iron and do it every 3 to 4 rows
Could you wind up fabric and glue using clips to hold ahead of time so that when you sew it’s straight sewing ?
Thank you! I really like it, and want to make some/
Why did you cut the strips in narrower strips?
I hope this isn't a dumb question... Does the small amount of glue you're using between strips gum up your needle or anything? :)
Betty Heath that is not a dumb question, I hadn't even thought of that. I hope she's able to answer!
@@jlynn8843 Use a glue for fabric or Elmers

Would this bowl be washable if it were to get dirty? Could it go into the washing machine?
Vanessa - what model of Babylock do you haves?
Hello! ove these! What type of needle did you use? Thank you!
Icis Threez
90/14 or 100/16. If your using a heavier fabric like denim, use a leather needle 100/18. Will hold up better for all the thicknesses. The heavier the material the higher the numbers for your needle. Hope that makes sense. Remember as a standard rule.
What size need do we need for our sewing machine to do the rope basket? I’m a beginner.
growing up we had braided rugs on the hard wood floors... must have been made in this fashion.. cute bowls for my swap partners
Can you make this using batting on the inside instead of the clothes line?
Where did you get that "folding cutting" ruler
Me encantan sus proyectos pero kiero preguntarle si esos cuencos los puedo hacer con estambres de tejer tengo algunos y kiero husarlos
Glad I watched other videos first.................so many little steps left out.
Can you also use gorilla glue and wind it up to be faster?
