I did use a heavy "carpet" thread and secured the begining and end of each "rope" by hand using MANY separate square knots (although I am going to see if I can get my machine around that chair today to reinforce.

I made 10, yes 10 chair bottoms using silk ties. After a couple of years my family told me how uncomfortable they were to sit in. I just gave 6 of them away. They were pretty. Hope your's sit better than mine did.
