Thanks for the tutorial. I think the lady below asked this as well, but what do you do when you come to the end? You said to use a clothespin to clip it once you're done winding, but then what? How do you finish off and join more fabric strips to the first? Maybe there's a part 2 I need to look for?
You just add more strips to the ends and make twine. When done just add a few stitches so it doesn’t un wind. At the beginning she showed how to connect strips. Make your twine as long as you need.
I'm not sure how you tie it off at the end once you've got to the end. But I cut it, then sewed the tied bit and the other end together 😅 i think it looks pretty good! I wish I could show you !
We created this tutorial to show people how to use up all your scrap bits of fabric. You can use the twine for all kind of things like bracelets and necklaces, knit or crochet with it, the list is endless.
This is brilliant Helen! Cheers from Minnesota in the upper US midwest!
You are very welcome Fernie, I am pleased you found it useful :)
This same twist is how they do for bows and arrows. TFS I LOVE IT I HAVE A BEST FRIEND IN CROYDON, IF I ever get over the pond I will look you up.
Wow, really, I didn't know that. Yes, if you come this way, do come and see us, that would be lovely :)
Loved this instruction! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Brilliant!!

At around the five minute mark she shows how to snip and add

Great job! I would love to see your finished result!
What do you use the twine for when it's done
