just saw this on FB - I've never been interested in making a coiled rug. But these coasters sure do look cute!

Oh! I have some rope like that, if you'd like me to bring it to the retreat.

That is a great way to make mugs! Trivets are a great thing to make with coiled ropes also!

I would definitely use the heavy-duty needles for jeans, canvas, and other heavy fabrics.

I don't think the ones in the picture Dee posted are sewn by machine...I think they are tied....
That being said, a jeans needle would work as long as the rope you are using is all cotton...the poly core ones are too stiff for stitching!

Some years back I made some coiled baskets out of cotton laundry line rope wrapped in straps of on loved fabric. I sewed on my machine and used a zigzag stitch and heavy duty needle. If you Google them there are tons of tutorials on YouTube.
