I could no longer resist the desire to make a clothesline bowl so here is my first attempt. I used a design from Embroidery Library for the bottom. I turned the bowl on the side for the picture so the inside would show.

How did you get it "flat" to do the embroidery ?

You start your work on your regular sewing machine and make it the size you wish to embroider on. I have a 5x7 hoop so I made mine about 5 1/2 inches in diameter. A 4x4 design fits nicely here..This part goes on your hoop to do your design. Then you go back to your sewing machine and finish your bowl.

I used a tearaway in the hoop and sewed the rope to the stabilizer with my regular sewing machine because my machine doesn't like sticky things. It took me a long time to figure out what is such a simple solution. I tried all kinds of spray and none of them worked for me. Then I floated a washaway over the top to keep the stitches from sinking in.. .

Good for you for finding the perfect solution! It really did turn out perfectly.

I must admit that before I finished the bowl I took it apart and did part of it over again. It took me a little while to get the feel of handling it. I think if I do another one it will go together much easier because I learned a little along the way.

Great job! My 1st one bowed so much after I embroidered it, that it looked like a wok. Didn't even put the sides on it.
