It appears that you are using a purchased pattern for the rope and as far as I know you can't modify purchased patterns. I don't believe that there is anyway to "bend" patterns so in order to put a rope radius on your project you will have to develop the rope yourself. Probably with some kind of 3D modeling software and then import it into designer. Trick is going to be keeping proportions the same.

Here is a link to a tutorial on how to develop a rope border with Photoshop:

That being said; hopefully one of the resident experts will chime in with a better solution for you.
