I so enjoy making rope coiled baskets, trivets. So much fun. I usually use striped fabric because I like the swirled finished look it gives.

I had to find a 100% cotton cord that would go under my pressure foot. I have a 'Quilters Delight Janome' sewing machine. So I ordered Wrights 8/32" cording. I use a 90/14 needle. I have made so many items that I ordered 50 yards of cord at once. I cut 3/4" strips and wrap diagonally around the cord. (I use Crafty Gemini YouTube video. She taught me well.) Have a blessed day!
