TIPS:
GO SLOW! When first starting the placemat, going slow will produce the best result. As the rounds get wider, it will get easier around the corners and will be easier to increase the speed of sewing.
To keep the rope flat to form a placemat (instead of a bowl), use a stack of books or whatever you have on hand that lines up to the edge of your sewing machine.
Always keep the supply feed of rope on the right side of the foot.
Make sure the needle is down on the left piece of rope when lifting the foot to adjust around corners. This gives a more secure bond as you are able to push the rope from the right side into the left as you sew.
Be sure to always be pushing the two pieces of rope tight against each other as you sew.
