This item is still on my to do list. I am alittle confused on the "triple" zig zag...enlighten me please.
thanks :-D
Hi, It depends on your machine if it has that stitch. It's a very wide zig zag that sews a few stitches as it goes from side to side. it is shown on the machine as a broken line zig zag.
generally, it is an adjustable stitch length and width.
Most Walmarts sell the cotton 3/8" x 100' rope for around $2.80. . I also use a glue stick to tack the fabric when joining the strips. I have used strips as ahort as 5 or 6 inches. For some reason after wrapping the strips, it twists so I start to make a ball with it and use clip clothespins to keep the ball together, then when you continue to wrap-- when it twists--just hold the ball up by the length you just covered and it
will untwist itself.
Search under "Recycled Rope Rug" to see the rug I made from a flannel house dress. Anne
