When Marcella, Jean and I were playing, I dyed this cotton clothes line in indigo. Jean had made me a fabulous rope bowl "like" this but much nicer. I wanted to give it a try. Marcella had my Brother threaded with denim colored thread so I went for it. I don't know why (maybe stitches too far apart) but my bowl is loose and easily distorted. Jean's bowl is perfect
It's beautiful, Beth! My first attempts were looser and wobbly but I learned to work at holding the 2 ropes together as I stitched over them. I use #2 stitch length and the widest zigzag, which on my machine is #5. The more you do, as the saying goes. And adding a stiffener after the bowl is done can help too... have fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Judy. THIS one was (is) wobbly and I had no idea why. I will try your suggestions.
DeleteNice blog you have here.
