A question about a substitution for clothesline in projects.
Just finished a class that used the cotton clothesline in it. I am wondering is there something else I can use that would work equally as well as the clothesline. In this area there is only one store and it is a quilting store, where I can buy it. I have to start checking the hardware stores. I am thinking that any cord would work as long as it is not solid as regular clothesline is with the metal wire inside of it. Any thoughts on this?

I live in the boonies and had a hard time getting ahold of some. I did find that Walmart and a quilt store had it. I couldn't find any that wasn't poly in the hardware store. I used a coupon and got it way cheaper at the quilt store. I have enough on hand now that I won't run out any time soon.

I get mine in the $ Store in the auto/hardware aisle for $2. Check at yours but someone on here mentioned another method that uses strips of quilt batt. Search some of the clothesline basket posts for information on it?

I have used the poly sold at Walmart. It works fine for bowls and totes and very washable. I have used regular 1/4" rope non wrapped for a rustic bowl. Looks very Westernly. When I do see cotton clothesline I buy a lot.

Just picked up some 3/16 X 100 ft at WalMart - must look in the Rope Section. It was under $4 and comes on a handled storage holder. 100% Cotton Diamon Braided Cord by Secure Line DH needed a short bit so I have the rest to play with bowls.
