I was just thinking I have too many crafty hobbies and I have to stop learning more. And then RUclips popped this in my sidebar, and I thought, "Actually, yes. I do need to learn how to make adorable rope bowls, let's goooo."
Wonderful video 😊 You are a pleasure to watch. I have just one suggestion...tell us the weight and composition of your thread and your needle size. You gave us all the other pertinent information, but I searched the comments to find all the other information. Thank you so much for sharing with us 💖💖💖
I believe the thread is a 40 wt 2-ply thread (Superior Threads). I clicked on the link in the description box as I was interested to know that also. I can only guess the needle may be a 90/14 or 100/16 to manage the thickness of the rope without breaking. Oh I just realized you posted this a year ago - you probably already have the information
You mention that a messy workspace is the sign of a creative woman just as I was saying to myself, wow she’s so neat! You should see my sewing room. ☺️
Great job. Thanks for sharing! But I need to add that your ring is astonishingly beautiful, so simple and the color is so so pretty. I really needed to make an effort to concentrate on your work...
This was the first video I’ve watched of yours. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you for giving such concise instructions and not spending 20min describing the bowl uses. I appreciate instruction videos that start out with a quick showing of end products followed by instruction, variations, and more showing at the end. This was ideal! Thanks!
That is a awesome instructions on how to make a rope bowl. You have answered so many of my questions. I feel I am ready to make my rope bowl thanks to you.😊🙃
Great tutorial! I've seen these bowls and wanted to try making one, but haven't gotten to it yet. You have rekindled my interest in this with a very good, detailed video explanation. Thank you!
Fabulous tutorial 👏I have made several bowls over the years, but your starting method with the straight stitch X and the zig zag X is so much easier than trying to zig zag from the center. Love learning new things, thanks so much.
Lulu, I’m getting pretty involved in this craft and googled extension table for Husqvarna Jade 20, and there is one made specifically for mine. At $99, I will wait a bit longer. Good luck and keep on stitching!
Hi again! I just wanted to say I loved your addition of MUSIC, combined with Fast Fwd, during the (redundancy)! You just make really...nice...(maker-)videos! You seem so relaxed/calm (like friends getting together!), and you have the experience b4 doing the teaching, so that you know what's important to point out, from what you've learned! ...that makes a great tutorial👍😉. The bowls are pretty! Love the variations, inc. thread-play: ) Thanks for the tips on the diff. ropes (I see others commented on it, too) -- you pass-on so much wisdom.....God bless your work, and *keep-on playing*!
I’ve been watching so many of this videos, but yours did a great job of explaining the different types of rope! Would hate to have my first project not be useable. THANK YOU!
I always learn when i see the teacher recover from a mistake. Glad to see how to join rope, snip threads on rope, and ho back if you miss stutches . Thanks.
Such a clever way of getting color in to the project. The variegated thread looks pretty. Without adding an extra step to the project. Thank you for a easy video to follow.👍🏼
Hello! Another great video! I have had a day where I have been running around doing a bunch of errands and didn't stitch all day so now I'm hand quilting and watching. I hope you have a joyful week ahead. Thank you for posting this video and your creativity.
I used to make these many years ago and even have an incompleted bowl from 10 years ago that I will go and find to complete. Thanks for the inspiration.
Wonderful video .. I started making some of these using fabric and found if I cut the fabric in the bias, you don’t have all the loose threads .. makes it a neater bowl …
Loved the tutorial! I'm sure you are making it easier than it looks....at least for me. Sewing on an angle looks tricky. My bowl will probably be a little wonky. However, I have some great ideas for handles, so there's that. Thank you!
Very enjoyable and informative video! You were very thorough and spoke at a nice pace. I have watched several videos on rope bowl making but they always left me with more questions. I feel I am armed and ready to give this a go! Thank you Amy!
Great video, explained the various steps so they were easy to understand. I too would like to have your best guesstimate on how much rope is needed for various projects. Thanks!
I enjoyed your video, thanks Amy, Finley and Olaf 😁 The coasters and bowls look good with that multi colour Superior thread! 💖 I appreciated that you trimmed your threads as you went along. Just a suggestion for the close ups hold it 5 seconds or longer. Thanks again for sharing! 💗🍁
Awesome tutorial with variety of examples, love all your videos; Suggest some more up close views of your other bowls you made and stitching. Stitching views you may want to shoot from right back side.
This is the first video if yours I have watched and you were great! Thank goodness I am on the email list for Superior Threads or I never would have found you. I have a huge box of opened JRs that will be perfect for this. Thanks!
Lovely... I made a good-sized fabric covered bowl g or granddaughter and filled it with rubber duckies@ it was really cute. Added bath things to it, too.
Hi there, I absolutely love the look of these bowls but had no idea how to make them. Thanks so much for the wonderful tutorial! Now finally I can have some of my own or gift some without it costing a bundle to purchase someone else's handmade items. You're the best, great job‼‼💯💕
Thank you for this tutorial especially showing the different ropes and what to use for a stiffer or softer rope bowls. Your suggestion on using variegated thread is one I will definitely try. This was a wonderful tutorial. I love the bloopers at the end too cute.
Hi Amy, this is my first video of yours that I watched, I loved it. I was wonder if you used a different needle to do the stitching? Other than a regular everyday one. Thank you for your video, I’m going to try it. 🥰
Thankyou Amy for you'd lovely video. You're warm and friendly style is so helpful. It's like being there with you. Just a thought...something I use instead of pins are wonderclips. Your work is beautiful. Thankyou for sharing. Best wishes, Ruth in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England.
Have you tried dyeing rope? What size rope (so it fits under machine foot), thread weight, needle size/type (jeans, topstitch etc) do you recommend? To reduce fraying, think batik fabrics would work? Does it matter if fabric is cut on bias or straight cut? Would definitely like to see how you add handles. Very good instruction in rope bowl stitching-thanks for sharing!
This is my first visit to your channel. How refreshing you are 😊. I had No idea that making a basket from the beginning took so much detail that you made look like it is no big deal 😂 I have a ❓. I made a Crochet baby blanket for my Grandson.....I have yet to give it to him. I have a lot of medical problems. My question is; how can I make your method for the Wrong Side of the Blanket in a rectangle? Appreciate any help you can offer. May God Bless You and Your's, Barbara 🙏🦋
I have become obsessed (I’m just a beginner) with coiling. I have 100’ of 1/4” jute…sigh…will this work out okay? Thanks for sharing, you’re a great teacher.
Loved watching this video. I’m just getting started making these rope bowls and baskets. Been trying different sizes and shapes I would like to know what size was the base for this bowl. I really like the shape of this one. Thank you.
These are very beautiful. Some helpful information would be how much rope is needed for a coaster or certain size bowl. I have made these crocheting the rope together and it uses a LOT of rope making them quite expensive to make.
Marcia, I have never actually measured, I can make a nice size bowl out of one bundle of rope so I've never actually tracked how much it takes. I'm one of those that over buys and then builds my stash. :)
Would you give links to the rope or cord you liked? I constantly go down a rabbit hole searching for cords and rope wasting a lot of money and time. Thank you! And thank you for doing the video, and sharing you esperience and knowledge.
What size needle and thread please? I’ve been told BRAIDED rope is good? Haven’t tried. You’re a great teacher. Thank you. This reminds me of the jellyroll rugs. I’ve made a few of them. Must try the bowls
I understand that you're demo'ing using a machine but these can also be done by hand by wrapping the thread around the rope, and that large spool of rope that you said you would use for Macrame is perfect for that technique. Yes, it's a lot slower but very satisfying. 🙂
I would like to know about your thread/ cone holder next to your machine. Is it just for your Janome? First time watching. Learning to make rope bowls . Enjoy watching you.
In first starting a new bowl, when locking down that first circle/coil, could you do a simple starburst with 8 points vs using a zigzag stitch? I am new to your channel and some things I am noticing might have a simple explanation and I am simply not familiar with it. So sorry. Do you know what the clunk noise is that occurs with your machine? Love love love the cabinet and set up behind you. FanTAStic tutorial!
I’m so intrigued by this! I have a few questions, how much rope do you need to make a bowl of that size? And is it necessary to have the extension table on your sewing machine to make a larger surface? I can’t remember if you mentioned it, but what needle are you using? Great video, thanks so much!
Your work is absolutely gorgeous I love it what I was wondering can the work be sewing by hand if a person doesn't have a sewing machine I'd love to try and make one again your work is absolutely gorgeous I love it
Great video - and info. FYI I have used the twisted macrame rope and is a "funky' bowl for sure, but does do OK coasters and place mats. I wonder how it would work with fabric - hmnmmm - might have to try that I guess :) Keep up the great work - isn't it fun :)
What needle size should be used as not mentioned in your video. What weight thread s/b used (e.g., 40wt, 50wt, etc.)? Have you tried dyeing the cording, then stitch with matching/contrasting thread? Can you show in future video how to make ‘open’ handles; would you just not stitch for several inches for opening then continue with basket?
Hey Sandy! I used OMNI V for this video, which is a 40 wt. polyester thread that requires a 90/14 needle. I have not tried dyeing the cording, but I do like to do some natural dyes on fabric, maybe I'll throw some cording in next time! Another video with more options is in the works so make sure you hit the notification bell so you 'll know when it gets posted.
Good tutorial. I am new to this, a little late to the party! I will keep in mind to vacuum out my sewing machine after and during this project! I am concerned about the amount of lint it may generate.
I was just thinking I have too many crafty hobbies and I have to stop learning more. And then RUclips popped this in my sidebar, and I thought, "Actually, yes. I do need to learn how to make adorable rope bowls, let's goooo."
Dollar tree rope?
😂😂😂you and me. I didn't want to try this but it seems I will have to add it.
Mee three!😀
I love the way the coaster turned out with the fabric!
Wonderful video 😊 You are a pleasure to watch. I have just one suggestion...tell us the weight and composition of your thread and your needle size.

Maybe try to figure that out on your own. I'm sure she doesn't need to hold your hand the whole way.
Amy! I've watched a ton of sewing demos. You're so easy to watch, your kindness comes through.
I love that you made mistakes as you went along and showed how to fix them.
I enjoyed watching this, you are real!! Thanks.
You mention that a messy workspace is the sign of a creative woman just as I was saying to myself, wow she’s so neat! You should see my sewing room. ☺️

This is great idea, I think I can make these , using Christmas colored fabrics and give as presents with sweets in it.
Thank you for all the tips, especially on the types of rope. And the beginning cross stitches to hold the base securely.
That is a awesome instructions on how to make a rope bowl. You have answered so many of my questions. I feel I am ready to make my rope bowl thanks to you.😊🙃
Great tutorial! I've seen these bowls and wanted to try making one, but haven't gotten to it yet. You have rekindled my interest in this with a very good, detailed video explanation. Thank you!
Fabulous tutorial 👏I have made several bowls over the years, but your starting method with the straight stitch X and the zig zag X is so much easier than trying to zig zag from the center. Love learning new things, thanks so much.
Curious where did you get your clear table extension that’s attached to your sewing machine?
Lulu, I’m getting pretty involved in this craft and googled extension table for Husqvarna Jade 20, and there is one made specifically for mine. At $99, I will wait a bit longer. Good luck and keep on stitching!

You are a natural teacher. Great tutorial on something i have always wanted to do! You have a new subscriber:) thank you!

Amy, My first video with you! I am going to try these for Christmas gifts. Thank you so much.
Such a clever way of getting color in to the project. The variegated thread looks pretty. Without adding an extra step to the project. Thank you for a easy video to follow.👍🏼
Would love to see a tutorial on adding bag handles, linings, zippers...Thanks so much!
Yes me too! Would love to see how you fashion a handle out of the rope
Hi Amy! 👋 Great tutorial! I haven't made any before, but definitely will try after seeing this!
Fabric wrapping looks like a good stash buster!
Hello! Another great video! I have had a day where I have been running around doing a bunch of errands and didn't stitch all day so now I'm hand quilting and watching. I hope you have a joyful week ahead. Thank you for posting this video and your creativity.
I used to make these many years ago and even have an incompleted bowl from 10 years ago that I will go and find to complete. Thanks for the inspiration.
Very clearly explained Amy. Your creativity is inspiring. I'm heading out to buy some macrame rope to have a go myself. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial! Your explanation of this method was so easy to understand, and I can’t wait to try it!
Very good tutorial, I want to try this. I could not always see the sewing area behind your hands, but I think I got the idea.
I LOVE the bloopers at the end - even those of us sewing for years make mistakes and have gaffs! Great tutorial :)
Wonderful video .. I started making some of these using fabric and found if I cut the fabric in the bias, you don’t have all the loose threads .. makes it a neater bowl …
Amy, you are an absolute delight to watch, gorgeous bowls, and just love that hot mess creativity 🤣 Bless you lovely
Love watching you work with the rope. I love the use of the multicolored thread when making the bowls.
Loved the tutorial! I'm sure you are making it easier than it looks....at least for me. Sewing on an angle looks tricky. My bowl will probably be a little wonky. However, I have some great ideas for handles, so there's that. Thank you!
I haven't made any before, I will try after seeing this, Thankyou deer.

Love the bowls and your 💅🏻 nails!
I enjoyed your video, thanks Amy, Finley and Olaf 😁 The coasters and bowls look good with that multi colour Superior thread! 💖 I appreciated that you trimmed your threads as you went along. Just a suggestion for the close ups hold it 5 seconds or longer. Thanks again for sharing! 💗🍁
Love this tutorial!!! Have had this on my bucket list for a long while…hmmm. Maybe it’s time!?!?! 😊
Awesome tutorial with variety of examples, love all your videos; Suggest some more up close views of your other bowls you made and stitching. Stitching views you may want to shoot from right back side.
I’ve never thought of making one not wrapping the cord, so have to give this a try!
I really enjoyed your video. I've seen others, but you are delightful to watch. Thank you. One of these days soon, I'll make one and show you.
This is the first video if yours I have watched and you were great! Thank goodness I am on the email list for Superior Threads or I never would have found you. I have a huge box of opened JRs that will be perfect for this. Thanks!

I loved the video. Very concise and thorough. Could you please tell me what size needle you use for these projects.
Great video! Thank you AND Findley!❤
Great tutorial.
I like to wrap it all first and use my presser foot to hold the wrapped cording as I go..an extra hand ✋
Great tip Carol!
Fantastic video and so helpful. Love Olaf!!!!
I've made a few of these bowls and they are so fun to make. I need to make some coasters also. Thanks for the tutorial....
Terrific instructor. So many good tips.
Amy, that was an excellent instructional video. Thanks so much for that!
Thank you for this tutorial especially showing the different ropes and what to use for a stiffer or softer rope bowls. Your suggestion on using variegated thread is one I will definitely try. This was a wonderful tutorial. I love the bloopers at the end too cute.
Thank you for adding the captions! Great tutorial!
Very thorough instructions. Thanks for sharing. 😃
Great video! I'm constantly looking for items to make to supplement our income. You make them look beautiful! Thank you!
I love making projects with rope...so fun and easy. I also use para cord to make mini bowls....
This is fantastic! I can’t wait to make my daughter some rope baskets for her toys
Great video! I appreciate the demo on adding fabric as it is something I have done but with mixed results. Thank you!
Loved your video. Great detail and you explained everything so it was super easy to follow you guy. Thank you I will be watching for more to come.
Very helpful and nice teaching and showing methods 😍
I loved this. Thank you. Cutest dog. I’m going to give this a try. Best regards from South Africa 💫
Hi Amy, this is my first video of yours that I watched, I loved it. I was wonder if you used a different needle to do the stitching? Other than a regular everyday one. Thank you for your video, I’m going to try it. 🥰
Loved your video. I'm in the UK and wondered if you could share the brands of rope you use and diameter etc 💜
You can chrochet a basket from the macrame cord ( the large spool from your daughter), the chrochet will give it enough sturdiness and structure 💖
Thankyou Amy for you'd lovely video. You're warm and friendly style is so helpful. It's like being there with you. Just a thought...something I use instead of pins are wonderclips. Your work is beautiful. Thankyou for sharing. Best wishes, Ruth in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England.
Excellent lesson.. love it. Always wanted to make place mats. Thanks.
Very pretty baskets! Thx for posting this great video on how to make them!
Thank you! You explained very well and made it seem easy. I am sure whenever I try I'll fight with my sewing machine 😂
Have you tried dyeing rope? What size rope (so it fits under machine foot), thread weight, needle size/type (jeans, topstitch etc) do you recommend? To reduce fraying, think batik fabrics would work?

Great video! First rope sewing one I’ve watched and I can’t wait to get started! Many thanks!
Does Finley sew as well. You make a great team. Can not wait to try this.
thank you for this video, simple to understand, I love it !
Very interesting! I love the Omni V thread
Really enjoyed your your video! You’re a good teacher, can’t wait to try this.
I have become obsessed (I’m just a beginner) with coiling. I have 100’ of 1/4” jute…sigh…will this work out okay? Thanks for sharing, you’re a great teacher.

I have only made a few but really enjoyed the learning process and will make more someday.

Really nice. I see you have an attachment for the upper thread, do you also have something that helps stop changing out the bobbin thread too often?
Great video - and info. FYI I have used the twisted macrame rope and is a "funky' bowl for sure, but does do OK coasters and place mats. I wonder how it would work with fabric - hmnmmm - might have to try that I guess :) Keep up the great work - isn't it fun :)

I enjoyed this a lot! Thanks for sharing.
Love your rope tutorial!! I love making rope bowls!!! ❤️😁
Very nice tutorial, I want to try this!!
I also wondered what size needle you used? 100 ! Nice demo💥
Thanks Glenda! I was using OMNI V thread which requires a 90/14 needle.
Me too! What needle size & foot? What cord did you choose for this bowl?
Thank you. Great tutorial.
