HOW TO - MAKE A SQUARE ROPE BASKET - raw edges

[@carolmailes5558]

I have watched nearly all of your videos on rope baskets. Thank you for posting and for all the great tips. I especially like this one on the square basket. Thanks for leaving in errors and explaining how to fix them. Very helpful videos.

I smile every time you say pressure foot....love it and the baskets!

Lol. Old habits die hard. My sewing teacher back in high school must have had an accent and now I can’t break my bad habit. I shall write it on a blackboard 1000 times. Presser, presser, presser. Eventually it will stick. Haha. Thanks for watching!

I swear my sewing teacher said pressure. I’m saying presser more than pressure now in my videos. It will stick eventually. Glad I’m not the only one out there!

[@jorgerobles628]

Nice project, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I myself, and after watching your video several times, decided to try this project, but tried to use bias fabric to continuously wrapping around the 1/4 inch paracord, or use just a simple 3/4 inch wide ribbon cut at an angle, wrap the ribbon or bias around the paracord and stitch it with a 4-5mm straight stitch with same color thread, or with a contrasting thread, and for as long as I need. And to do the square shape, I am joining the paracord in a parallel fashion on the dimension I want, and then do a final round around the four borders of the construction. In that fashion I can do either squares or rectangles. I have been able to do place mats, square coasters, shopping and carrying bags for my two daughters in the colors they like or want. And I add their names or initials using a contrasting paracord sewn to one side, or using my embroidery machine to do patches that I later sew to the project. Thanks for your very educative, inventive and well explained video, the Lord bless you. And Happy New Year 2024!!!!!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Wow! You’re even more detailed than me. lol. My first videos I didn’t show cutting fabric strips on the bias but that’s how I did all my other baskets. Lots of fun ideas in your comment. Your baskets will be gorgeous indeed! Thanks for watching!

[@ktaltre]

Yes, I am now thinking of the foot as the pressure foot, haha. When I hold the line with the foot, I only put the foot down, not the needle. I just made a basket with one inch wide bias cut fabric. There was practically no fraying. I put a little glue stick on each end of the strip, no clips, unless I need to mark a place. I cut the point of the bias strip off at the beginning to start flat, but not at the end of the strip. Thank you for your very comprehensive videos!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

That’s great Katherine! Thanks for all your info on cutting fabric strips on the bias. Sounds like a great way to go. You made me think of just using fabric bias tape. Would only be in solid colours though. Already cut to size and no raw edges. Good for little bits of color here and there perhaps.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Thks for watching my rope bowl videos! Glad you are enjoying them. If you want straight sides on your square basket then when you are finished sewing the base than bring your basket all the way up till it hits the side of your sewing machine and start sewing your sides. Continue sewing in that manner until you have the height that you want.

Lots of ways to approach the joins. I usually don’t use glue as I don’t want to muck up my needles and machine with glue especially if I am sewing the next round right away and then my needle goes into it.

Loopies

Your video tutorials are by far the best I have seen. Thank you! I noticed in some, you do not cut on the bias - do you feel it makes much difference?

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Hi Whitney. LOL you catch on quick. I did not show how to cut the fabric on the bias in most of my rope bowl videos so I just published a video on making an oval rope bowl with bias cut fabric strips. And yes, it does make a difference. There is a lot less fraying on the edges of the strips and it has of course more stretch which makes it easier to wrap your rope. Should have showed that in all my videos. But Woops! We all learn as we go and learn from each other which is the beauty of social media sites like KZbin.

[@raissadingmann5823]

Your videos are so wonderful to follow, thank you. I have a question about fabric, some say fabric must be cut on the bias, and I see you do not, what is the big difference between the two ? the way you do it would be far faster, I just didn't know the reasoning behind it.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

I have made several baskets with varied techniques. In my how to make rope basket playlist you will see a video on how to cut fabric on the bias. You can do it either way for sure. But when you cut on the bias there is less ravelling on the edges and there is more stretch to the fabric therefore it makes it easier to wrap the rope.

[@raissadingmann5823]

@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts thank you so much for your reply. I have only made them with fabric on the bias. But I am going to have to try it this way once.

[@georginacampuzano6412]

For me it would be better to sew all the fabric strips first, as not to be stopping and adjusting them. Great job.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Different ways to approach it for sure. It’s good if you are just putting a few rows of colour here and there.

[@meatdog]

I would do the same. I really don't like stopping and starting in pieces.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Whatever works for you for sure. If it’s all the same fabric and your not worried about placement of colour than you can sew all the strips ahead of time. I did that on one of my bowls that I posted on my channel and also folded over the side edges so there was no raw edges. Made for a real sturdy bowl too.

[@helenai13]

Crafty Patti, I follow them. Thanks.

[@krisCrashTV]

The only non-plastic rope I could find was this really rough sisal stuff, but, it's actually fine because the fabric covers it and the roughness probably adds some stability fwiw. Sewing machine might have trouble with the thicker ones, they seem more dense than this soft cotton cord.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Sisal will be hard to sew through. Might break a few needles. The cotton rope is better for sewing. Hope you can find some online perhaps.

[@deborahgroundssanders4956]

love this!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Thank you!

[@lthornb1]

Thank you for this tutorial. If I want to make a rectangle basket would I just add a few more coils to make the starter row rectangular?

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Instead of starting with a square shape start with about 4” of rope and then bend down to form the next row tightly close to the first rope and sew the two together. Continue your rounds sewing around the two starter rows. This will form a rectangle basket. Vary the length of the two first cords to make a smaller or larger rectangle basket

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Glad you love the square rope basket. Unfortunately I don’t do any custom orders or sell any of my crafts at this point in time.

[@kimberlyevans7853]

How often do you change needles?. I'm using cotton rope with the synthetic core & a jeans needle. I've made 2 bowls apx 8'' × 4" tall. I've started on the 3rd, same cord different brand thread. The thread has broke 5 times and I've just started to curve up the sides

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

I use the same needle for quite a long time. I only use all purpose polyester thread because I find it is stronger than cotton thread.

[@chloekaufman4131]

I love this square basket and your video and the instruction is wonderful. But, I need to ask. Do you use 1/4" cord to account for the additional bulk of the fabric wrap, or is this size rope just a preference thing?

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

It is my preference to use the 1/4” rope. It makes for a stiffer basket. The smaller cord makes a flimsy basket. I like my baskets to be more rigid.

[@chloekaufman4131]

Thank you. That's what I figured. I think I have one roll of 1/4" which I will deinitely use for your square basket.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Perfect!
