INSTRUCTIONS:
- Cut the beginning of the rope at an angle and begin to coil it counter-clockwise, so that the tail end of the rope hangs off the right side. Coil it 2-3 times and secure by pinning. Simply insert the pin from the outside towards the center of the coil. You may need to pin in 3 or 4 places.
- Set your sewing machine to stitch a zigzag stitch that is 5-5.5mm wide and 2-3mm long. The wider the stitch, the easier it will be to stitch.
Starting at the center of the coil, take a couple of stitches forward and a couple of stitches backwards to secure the stitches. (Alternately: you can also stitch an "X" across the coil to secure the stitches, then proceed.)*** Remember, go slow. The first couple of inches are kind of pain staking anyway. Just realize this is the case and take it slow.
- Keep the center of your presser foot centered between the rows of rope so that when you stitch, the needle will catch two rows of rope. Take a couple of stitches, raise the presser foot, and rotate the coil.*** Remember to keep the coil flat against the sewing machine and your fingers on top of the rope, pressing down gently to rotate the coil.
- Continue stitching and coiling the rope until the base of your coaster is about 5" across.
- To secure the end and create a loop, cut the rope leaving about a 5" tail. Clip the end of the rope at a 45 degree angle. Fold the rope under and zigzag in place. Backstitch as needed to secure the ends of the rope.
