Wider strips will make a larger rope. I use three strand and have used it as ribbon on a brown craft paper gift. Much loved by the recipients🇨🇦

[@DanielaMellen]

I'm sure the gift ribbon you created would be loved! Sounds beautiful to make it thicker and use with kraft paper.

I love this! I am making drawstring backpacks for my local Christmas charity, so this looks like a way to use my scrap pieces. Thank you so much for this tutorial.

[@DanielaMellen]

What a great idea and so generous of you!

[@blissismore2823]

Sorry... for using this not only in slowstitching but many other crafts. You certainly keep me inspired!

[@DanielaMellen]

Thank you for your kind words! It does offer a lot of possibilities.

[@lucillecash3046]

Thanks for making this process of making twine so easy to follow. ❤

[@DanielaMellen]

You are so welcome!

[@blissismore2823]

This is a new concept to me, absolutely fascinating. So many possibilities for

[@craftygrandma56]

I remember as a child using the spun fabric to embroider things! or at least try! I guess my mom used to spin it ahead and give it to me to do. I must admit I was mesmerized by your spinning process, so much so I forgot to drink my coffee!!! I have a lot of vintage (fabric from mom's stores in the 60's) that I could use for this!! Perfect timing for a new fun project as I have had my share of crocheting, knitting journaling and scrapbooking!! Thanks so much!!

[@DanielaMellen]

Thank you! That is a great use for the older and treasured fabric! And great memory!

[@michellesmixedmediamadness]

I've made some twine but never knew what to do with it. Now that I have found slow stitching, I can find places in my work to use it. Thanks for reminding me of the technique, I had forgotten how to join the pieces. I like the 4th one you showed.

[@DanielaMellen]

Thanks. The 4th method is definitely a favorite for joining pieces! Glad you found a way to use your handmade twine.

[@debbiefrick4380]

This was interesting and I can think of several ways to use this.

[@DanielaMellen]

Glad to hear that!

[@anndevault6010]

Thank you for showing how to make this twine. I have tried it before and it came undone. With your video and help I have made a piece.

[@DanielaMellen]

You are welcome 😊 That's great news. Thanks for the kind words.

[@ruecifer5012]

You could totally make some type of "macramé" wall hanging with this twine. It would be beautiful in a little girls room

[@DanielaMellen]

That is a great idea! You could select the specific colors that go into the macrame.

[@giusicoluccia6594]

[@DanielaMellen]

You are so welcome!

[@mariaruiz3848]

Very good video. Thank you for sharing

[@DanielaMellen]

Thank you too

[@gabrielleprettyman6528]

Hi Daniela,love your videos,and appreciate your time,expertise and talents.Amazing video on homemade twine,thank you so very much,I try to do this using cotton sheets that I dye myself too,I can't wait to see what you make next.Lots of hugs from the UK xx

[@DanielaMellen]

Thank you so much!n I love that idea of using the custom colored sheets, what a great idea! Thanks so much for your kinds words.

[@lakshmivs7596]

Awesome video. I haven't tried yet. Will it not unwind once you have finished and put a knot. Will it loosen up? Thanks for sharing this technique.

[@DanielaMellen]

It will unwind if you cut it. You cand stitch the end (before cutting) to hold it in place, so it won't unravel. Or, better yet, make it to length.

[@lakshmivs7596]

@@DanielaMellen thankyou for replying.

[@tailorcollection78]

Wow

[@DonnaSzymanski-y8d]

Can you use different fabric types ie demin , cotton, and silk together?

[@DanielaMellen]

You can, but depending on the thickness of each, the results will be affected. So, combining them will result in a very beautiful (in my opinion) but, perhaps thicker or unveven twine. This may not be an issue at all for some, it simply depends on preferences.

[@leeshelstad2143]

Love the video but it keeps unraveling when I get to the end before tying it off. The first one I made worked, now they don't stay secure. What am I doing wrong?

[@DanielaMellen]

Could be that you need to keep the tension on the twisting and then knot it. Hope this helps.

[@leeshelstad2143]

yep did that...I redid it but twisted it differntly and twist the right hand fold over with the left...it worked...@@DanielaMellen

[@DanielaMellen]

@leeshelstad2143 great!

[@ndlz1]

🙏

[@andreaparker-straub392]

I am planning on cutting this into pieces would it be as secure still after cutting?

[@DanielaMellen]

Each cut part will have to be wrapped with tape or string to "seal the ends". It will unravel without some sort of way to secure it together.

[@sharorganic5841]

What do you make with it?

[@DanielaMellen]

I like to make custom trim for using on fabric pages. The challenge is making the correct length or knotting off a longer piece.

My gosh it's a long video.......................................before you show us anything!
