from Gerry- I use 1" wide bias strips. They work well. I use a few dabs of tacky glue to hold them. If you want to use a jelly roll, I would cut the fabric down the middle. I do like the way you have finished the bowl. Thanks for sharing and God bless.

I formerly would hand wrap my rope, but it cramped my hands up. so I went to the hardware store and bought a 5 foot length of "Flow guard gold" 1/2" cpvc pipe. About 2 & 1/4 inches from each end I drilled a hole all the way through; just big enough to put my clothes line rope thru that would be wrapped with the fabric. then at 4 & 1/2 inches from each end drill another hole all the way thru on each end. cap off the ends with a 5/8 " rubber thing that would go on the end of a cane.( they were 55 Cents) each I salvaged some of those thing-a-ma- jigs that come off a fleece jacket; that has a spring in it to clamp onto a cording..I strung one end of the clothesline rope thru the clamp spring thing, then threaded the rope thru one end of the pipe holes, across to the other side and out thru the holes and then thru the clamp spring to hold in place. I tightened it up so it looked like a wide half moon shape; ( but not too tight or the pipe will break). This prevents the rope from twisting & twisting.I sit in my recliner, with the curved und under my thighs, and the rope is strung across in front of my face; so I can wrap the rope easily with the tension just right. I put on one strip tack the next strip with glue stick and keep on wrapping!! once the section of rope is wrapped, you squeezed the springs to give slack, and pull the rope thru the holes to feed the next section of rope to wrap. it cost me less than $5 to make. You can sit & watch TV for hours doing this wrapping and not get fatigued. Rob I dare you to make one of these!!!!!!!!! & show it on your Man Sewing show!!! let me know if you want a photo.....

Rob, to start my bowls, I always form the center by wrapping around about three or four times and sew an "X" across the base. This assure that the base will stay in place. Then I put the base back under the pressure foot and start my zig zag stitches around the base. There's no struggling with the start of my bowls and that initial "X" is basically hidden by the zig zag stitches as I pass over it. Hassle Free!

@ManSewingVids7 жыл бұрын
Best to take that question to your local sewing machine dealership. Most machines these days use a lot of nylon parts, my opinion is that new machines will not go the 75 years that the old ones do, but most brands come with at least a 10 year warranty that would cover the mechanical parts like the gears. Buy local, and from a reputable dealer, ask all of your questions until you feel that you know what you are purchasing and are excited to do so.
