Having to take so many electrical cords on holiday I thought I would make cord wraps. The original design is from Design by Sick. I changed the words, but also adjusted their satin stitching as somehow their design was so dense in one corner that it messed up my machine (Broke my needle and jammed it!) Has anyone else tried this design and had the same problem?

Great idea! Did you use velcro? Much better than the ugly twisty ties I've need using.

Yes there is Velcro stitched on the back and front. All done in the hoop!

Great idea. I hope you let them know about the density issue, since some of us can not make adjustments like you can! Thanks! Love your work!

sew organised love it

I haven't tried this design. I use old toilet paper rolls to hold my cords. This is cuter. :)

What a great idea, its better than putting zip ties or rubber bands on cords, Thank you for showing us from S

these are a great idea. Whenever we buy some new item with charger cords I put a sticky label around the cord with the item name written on it also so I don't forget down the track what it is for!!! Been planning to make some of these for my sewing machine cords when I take them to class .Keeps them neat .I must get busy and make some- have had the designs for ages. Thanks for showing yours completed. Lynx

Nice and neat and thanks cuties for all the tips on this design.

They look great. You can see in the picture how dense the satin stitch is. I have a few designer's that I reduce the density on

Cuties come up with the best ideas!! Great job!

What a really good idea! Well done, hugs & **Loralye

Very nice, and neatly organized!

great idea i was thinking to make one for my car seat belt it always rubs my neck and i hate it lol hugs

great project

What a neat idea! I am travelling this week, wish I had seen this a week ago. lol

I did not have an issue with the stitching - I might have gotten lucky. I too added my own names for the cords. I also used a non-fray and cut outside the satin stitching leaving a little border.

I have not tried this. I like the idea for those extra electronic cords.

I have not stitched this design.
Adding the name of the device is a smart way to keep track of all the cords and what they go to.

I haven't tried this design yet. I would be interested if others have. Well done though changing the lettering to suit your needs.

Haven't tried this design and I think you had a great idea. Thank you!
Hugs, Lidia

Hi Angelique, No, but what a great idea!!! I've had needles break from dense designs though! Love Chris
