Here's another photo. I just wrapped some rope and pinned it to the basket to illustrate the idea. I took a piece of rope a little bigger than the basket was around and started wrapping it. You'll notice that you don't have to completely cover the beginning A, because you'll cover it when you finish. Once you've wrapped several inches, you start to stitch it to the basket, - not at the beginning, but at B. Then you wrap and stitch around as normal until you get to C. Then you cut the end of the rope off so it will butt right up against A and continue to wrap the rope past A. You may want to glue or sew the ends of the rope together, but I didn't. It's a little difficult putting the fabric through the gap under the rope at A smoothly, but not too difficult. If you want a clean finish, you'll need to fold the raw end of the fabric over before sewing it down. I use a dab of glue stick. Then just finish sewing on to where you started sewing at B.
I hope this helps you picture what I did. Tate [ATTACH=CONFIG]304409[/ATTACH] |
That's a smart fix for something that really bugged me. No matter how I tapered the end of the coil before, I didn't like the way it looked.

Great idea!!! :) I've tried to make those bowls a few times, but I kept breaking the needle. . . I think I need to use bigger ones. When I try it again, I'll try your technique too! Thank you!! :) :)

I like your idea, do you ever use same color threads with your bowls? I have tried to find same color for mine. Good color for the bowl.

What a genious you are! Thank you for the step by steps.
