How to Embroider on Cotton Clothesline Rope Using Your Brother PE770 Embroidery Machine

✂️ I previously shared a video tutorial on how to sew a cotton clothesline rope basket. Building on that tutorial, I'd like to teach you how to embroider on your rope basket using your embroidery machine.

• • Sew a Rope Basket or B...
Clothesline baskets or bowls have been around for a while. And, for some reason, I stayed away from them. I think I was afraid my sewing machine just wouldn't be able to handle the bulk of the cotton clothesline rope.
But, guess what? I was totally wrong!
Not only have I made a number of these DIY and easy to sew (once you know a couple of tips) cotton clothesline baskets. But, I've also made some that I added embroidery designs to and some where I've used colored thread.
You can even have fun with the rope and add designs to the outside of the baskets. Plus, you can make them round, oval, short or tall.
I gotta warn you though - once you make one basket, you'll want to make more! Then you'll want to make coasters, placemats, mug rugs, rugs, and the list goes on!

Did you use a special needle in your embroidery machine due to the rope material?

I used a denim needle in my sewing machine.
