Chainstitching Rope for Storage911 viewsCoiling rope for storage usually leaves something to be desired. Even coiled rope tends to tangle in your toybag, and if you grab the wrong end when you’re uncoiling it, it can quickly get hopelessly tangled up. It is very frustrating if you are halfway through tying someone up and you have to stand there for ten minutes untangling your rope before you can continue. The solution is to chainstitch your ropes for storage. This is how climbers store their ropes. It is basically the same stitch used to fasten the tops of potato bags and feed bags.
