This is an introductory basket project for sewists who are confident in steps like changing the machine needle, adjusting stitch length and width, and pivoting. Check out our tutorial videos to preview coiled rope basketry techniques.
The Mountain Thread Company has developed a FREE instant download for stitching with 5/16” rope. You can download A Basketeer’s Guide to 5/16” Rope today!
**The Mountain Thread Company’s signature 5/16” rope was developed specifically for coiled rope basketry, and is custom made exclusively for The Mountain Thread Company. It is similar to layers of denim or canvas, which can be sewn on domestic machines. Use the provided heavy duty needle (a size 100/16 denim needle) to accommodate the thickness of the rope.
