Yes, Sewjoyce, I use cotton clothesline. I also use a jeans needle in my machine. I don't use the glue like Eddie does and I don't cut my strips on the bias. I've been using up some spools of older thread that are hanging around and I won't use for quilts. Seems to be working for me. I even set up my "back up" machine just for this project. Then I can do a bowl whenever the spirit moves me to, without changing out everything on my "favorite" machine.

And where do you find cotton clothesline? I can't seem to find it here (but I haven't looked locally since last year).....Thanks!! :D

What happens when you don't own a sewing machine at all, (i never have) and want to make this??? Gotta buy a sewing machine first right???? Great tutorial!

Love the idea of a hot mat. I have several strips torn to use in a crocheted rag rug. Unfortunately, the rug did not turn out very well, it has a huge pucker in the middle. So I'm thinking this would be a great way to use up the leftover strips.

What cute bowls. And I love the idea of a hot mat. I really need to try this. Where did you find the rope to use for this?

Pinkiris

I found the rope at WalMart. It was in the hardward department. Not by the clothespins! Silly me expected to find it there!! But I was at 2 other WalMarts that didn't have it anywhere. I also found some at Meier in Naperville, Il. Some people have had luck at their local hardward stores. Maybe make a few phone calls first? When you do find it, buy several. It's addicting!!!
