I have yet another question [insert an emoticon here]
I'd like to use a cord created with my handy dandy cord doohickey to create a handbag on a piece of freestyle embroidery. I'm stumped about how to deal with the ends. If I bury them under the cord, those areas are lumpy.
Help please
Knot the ends into tassells?
Depending on how stiff the cord is, flatten it slightly and slip it between the outer fabric and the lining. Use some hand stitches to attach the ends to the lining to keep it from fraying.
Ellen had two good ways to deal with cord ends.
Another: Leave long enough ends so that you can wind them into a circle. Adds a little "pizzazz". But that only works if it works on your project.

Thanks all. I had envisioned something along the lines of a braided rug using the not very bulky cord made out of floss. When I pinned the cord to the fabric, I didn't like how it looked so went with plan c -- a weave.
