Don't worry Clothilde, I didn't mean to sound upset. Seems to me that the weight of the yarn and the number of cards control the size of the cord. The cord I did on 9 cards with 10/2perle cotton was small enough to fit through grommet holes. For a tote strap I would use a thicker yarn and more cards. A band woven in tablet weaving without turning it into a tube is extremely sturdy.
