Vernell: never thought of that.
Update: I bought some upholstery cording at Jo-Ann's using my 40% off coupon. Don't remember the thickness, but I know it was bigger than 3/16. Any larger and it would not have fit under my presser foot. I've made 5 trivets so far and am enjoying doing something different. thanks, all, for your comments.

Hi, The cotton clotheline is now packaged differently at Walmart. It is now wrapped around a black plastic form and is hung on a wall.
Joanns now has the clotheline rope. it is called crafting rope and they keep it on the wall where the ironing supplies are. it sells for 4.99 and will be cheaper with a coupon.

I've been to Lowe's, Home Depot, Target and Wal-Mart. The only store that sells cotton rope is Wal-Mart and they only have one size. I'm making fabric covered trivets and don't want to use nylon or poly rope - it melts. I want to use natural fibers. As a last ditch effort, I bought some sisal (large twine). That's natural. Thought I was pretty smart until driving home I wondered if my machine will sew through it......sigh. Will let you know.
For those of you who are making the mats and/or bowls, where are you getting your cotton rope?
