I enjoyed your tutorial. Thank you for nit talking non-stop about who knows what and for not feeling like you had to have the energy of a high school cheerleader. I prefer a calm and informative instructor such as yourself.
It would be good business practice if either the pattern company or the maker of the sample rug responds to this problem! As it is, it seems as if no one is interested in rectifying this problem. Not good.
Brilliant! I've watched a ton of these rug making videos and none of them show how to get the first few rows stitched together without creating a mess. This seems like a perfect way to get things started! Many thanks for showing this in good detail. I think I'm going to use your method to sew this rug together. I can't thank you enough for sharing it.
Good idea ! Making a rug from old wool suits from the thrift store would be a GREAT GIFT FOR A GUY !!! And nice and warm too. But could it be put in the washing machine ??
@crousselle52 I never saw that. We WERE using her old wringing washer. They were mat sized and she used 3 colors. We vacuumed them - and hung them and beat them every spring and summer. Good 👍 luck.
The lady narrating this video has the most soothing voice ever. It’s very pleasant to watch. I just wish I could afford one of the strips that’s in the batting. Maybe one day, after I am done showing my hundreds of facemasks and headbands and what not. Who knows thank you for sharing this with us
@@arielstrafing5225 they need to earn something for their time and probably have sponsoring from mamufactors or someone in supply chain. You are right you can use what you have. It just like with quilts for bedding some have cost hundreds all the colors and patternd perfectly matched. Everything is brought. Some have are handed down all different ods and ends old clothes and beloved for exactly that reason.
I have got all the materials to make one. So glad that I came across this video. With this method I can easily control how many circles selected colours will go. Great techniques handling the fabric and its flow. ❤
I have researched (watched eight of these rug tutorials ), and you have made it much clearer with your techniques. Thank you. I think I’m ready to start.
I grew up in the 60’s and we had these rugs in our tiny 2 bedroom 6+ family home 🏡. I always loved them ❤️. This is simply beautiful and brilliantly hand crafted 👏. Thank you for sharing you are a superb teacher 👍👍
I remember these rugs from the 60s and 70s too!!! Everyone had them. Who would have thought someday we’d make them with fabric!?!? And much better than knit. Plus they wash like a rag!
I started watching and thought, how tedious this is. But as I watched further I caught on to what you were doing. What a beautiful little rug. Very nice tutorial and actually not tedious at all. Thank you.
Maddie you are such a calm, informative and awesome Instructor and I appreciated this video by you so much. Your calmness was such a blessing in holding my attention right to your very last stitch. Some people can teach or inform us well but their tension plays such havoc on my nervous system so you were fabulous while remaining calm. Just love that about you.
I’m not sure if I would call this “easy”, but it’s a great tutorial! I stumbled on this looking for a braided rag rug tutorial, so maybe it’s just my skill-set that makes it look hard.
I have had my “rug” made up for months, trying to stitch it together, I periodically go back to it when I calm down after getting quite frustrated with it as the beginning never works, what an awesome tutorial, I’m off to put my rug together as I know this will work, thank you, thank you, thank you!
I really like doing a little at a time. It’s so hard when you try and make the fabric rope all at once. Can’t wait to use this method. Thanks for sharing your video with all of us. ❤️
Absolutely wonderful, informative tutorial! The peacefulness in your voice makes this less stressful for newer sewers! One caution I would add, is to caution sewers not to pull and stretch the cording as it’s made. Thank you for a wonderful video!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just completed the rug using my own fabric to match a quilt that I made for my granddaughter and I cut my own batting. This was very economical and fun to sew.
I enjoyed your video, twice! I love your organization and calm teaching method. Plus....I like the “step at a time” method. I get really tired just doing one thing at a time. With this, you sew a little, then attach that little part, then iron, then start over. That’s a great way to do this kind of intense project. By the way, you have beautiful hands, wonderful veins! As a former nurse, I do appreciate good veins! Blessings to you and yours!
This is the best video/instruction for these rugs! Thank you so much. I had started & gotten so 😞 the other way....most ppl teach. Love your beginning...I'm so glad I found this.
Just made my first JR rug for my new grandsons bathroom.! I only had a 1/2 a roll 24 strips the size came out to be 24 x 33. I'm pleased with the outcome. Thank you for the tutorial. Your voice is very calming.
I knew a lady in Brookings, Or/Gold Beach, Or, who crocheted these. Didn't need to buy new fabric. She tore strips from sheets, and shirts, skirts, etc that she acquired 2nd hand. I tried it and made a few. Beautiful. New is ok, and ready cut is ok, but expensive. She sold them at artists/farmer's markets, etc. So, that's another option. The other day, I saw a video on RU-vid that showed something similar, called a "toothbrush rug." Thanks for showing us how you do it.
By far the best video I have watched on how to do this so it will lay flat. Very well done and now I’m ready to start this. They key is the pattern for the beginning instead of just starting with the rope part.
Your voice is so soothing to listen to! If anyone is every in Bloomington Illinois you have to stop at this quilt shop! Awesome products and 5 star customer service! You won’t regret visiting this shop!! Lovely group of folks that own this shop!!🥰🥰❤️❤️
WOW! Thank you for creating such a beautifully relaxing tutorial. I have always loved the look, now I know how to make strip rugs with confidence. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I'm so pleased this tutorial popped up in my feed today. I have lots of odds and ends in my fabric stash that will make a lovely rug. I plan to use an old wool blanket (from my childhood) for the batting. That will mean more cutting but I really like to use everything I can and I won't need to part with the blanket :-)
I've been looking for all of my greens! Now I know where they went! Lol! JK, green is my favorite color, too! When I did foster care I had a 4 yr old girl come to stay. I would tease her and pretend I took all of her favorite color - red, and in turn she would say I got all my reds back and now I have all of your greens! It was fun for her bc I was teaching her colors!! She's all grown up now and very busy working!! God. Bless You!!
Loved this tutorial so easy to follow. I just wished the people in the back ground had showed some respect,and kept the talking down. I will definitely be watching this lady again.
I've made several sewn rugs but I love the way you begin and end. It makes them so much easier to start and a lot less curling! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Well thought out pattern - making that oval to begin with and then attaching it to the strips with the the zig zag down each side. Genius for making it blend in!
Wowsa you are a fabulous teacher, a real natural...meaning you’ve definitely got the gift of teaching!! Had I tried this without your help it would have been a disaster! Thank you and please keep on teaching!!
Found this video while we are in freezing weather with ice on the trees, streets, etc. I haven't seen a rug sewn this way until now, and your video and voice is very soothing. Thanks for the great instruction!
This is absolutely gorgeous ..It would make you feel happy every time you see it because the colours are so light and uplifting..I have seen these before but they looked so difficult to make ,you have made it look so easy ..I love it 😀
Thanks for your excellent tutorial. It also inspired me to get back behind my Bernina 830LE, which I have not used in a while. My 380 has been my go to machine while sewing masks. I have my materials and I am inspired to start this project. Thanks again.
You are a good teacher. Everything was well explained and demonstrated. Now even I can make a strip run.wonderful. I do not have a sewing or quilt store in my town so I didn't realize you could purchase quilt batting in narrow spools. Now that I know I don't have to do all that cutting the rug seems doable. Thank you!
When I read your comment I immediately wanted to ask where the fabrics are indigenous to? Wouldn't it be fun if a bunch of crafters from around the world could start up a swap group to trade indigenous fabrics? I'm in the U.S. and a fifth generation immigrant, so no indigenous background here but I love native art and crafts, so beautiful and meaningful.
You are a very good teacher. You Explain the steps clearly and not fast. Also no annoying loud music and small talk. Perhaps you can make more instruction videos in the future.
Absolutely stunning!! I didn’t know how these were made until now. I am amazed at how really simple it is. I appreciate all the details & tips you gave-that type of info is really useful. Thanx for this superb video and I am going to do this ASAP!! You are a wonderful teacher!! I’ll be back!! Stay safe & well!! Chris* from Zeeland, MI 👍🏻💜👍🏻💜👍🏻
I have watched several tutorials on making these rugs. They were always so vague about those first corner turns. You sure have simplified it with your center technique. So glad I watched you be for I started my first one. Thank you!
Such a calm, clear description, with the little tips aling the way about how to guide the cord tthrough, reassuring, practically insightful of how people need to learn. Excellent teaching technique
My great grandma Lena use to make these. I always wanted to learn how she did them. She died before I was age seven. We use to have some. I think some stray sparks from the fireplace we had when I was a kid burned up the ones she made. Thank you for showing us how to do them.
Just watching this for the first time today. You are a fantastic instructor. I have had all the materials to make a rug but was to scared to do it. After watching this video, I have the confidence to do it. Thank you!
This us the best tutorial I have seen for making a rug. Thank you! I've had the supplies for over 2 years to make 2 of them but was intimidated. I'm definitely going to be making mybrugs now.
It's beautiful. My mother made braided rugs from old blie jeans they always laid so flat. Now I know why and can finally finish one that I have started. The same princepal should apply. Then the rig not the health that I'm adding. Thank you so much for this tutorial
You explain things so well... This may seem easy to you, but it's quite a complex series of steps, and the project also requires some degree of long-term commitment! I hope one day to be able to achieve the level of expertise and calm that you display in this video. Thank you so much for sharing your skills with us. 🤗🙏🏼
Nice tutorial. If I knew that the material line of the jelly roll I would use, I would get 1/3 yard of the last color. That way I could cut one or two strips of the last jelly roll pattern & finish the rug merging with the same fabric. For me it would be less of an abrupt end. Love the colors of jelly rolls...satisfying to work with. 👍
I have to say that I've been really scared to try one of these because of seeing other people's rug bowls, LOL! But you made it look really easy. Thank you.
The colors are so beautiful . I've made one of these rug, not the same way you did, but they are fun to do. Your sewing machine is beautiful! Thank you for your video :)
Quanto capricho...um primor...lindo... versátil...utilissimo. Parabéns...👏👏 Não entendi uma palavra, mas o Idioma Universal dos Trabalhos Artesanais não deixou dúvida alguma. Obrigada por ensinar tão bem. Abraços/Ana/Rondônia/Brasil.
You broke the process down from start to finish, and I love that you start, stop...go back to sew more strips...start again to apply them to the rug. I already know that is how I'm going to do this project. Except I'll be cutting my own batting strips as I have several large rolls of a poly batting I want to get used up and out of my stock.
You make it look so easy, I'm beginning to think I might be able to make one. (I can't) but at least you make me believe I could... :D Beautiful job here.
Fabulous tutorial, great information, repeated so you really got into the flow and understood. Lovely calm voice and while I will never get round to doing this myself, I absolutely loved watching you do it. Thank you from London England x
I use Hyper Tough clothesline for my rugs and I cut 1" strips and wrap around the clothesline and use stick glue the ends of the fabric. Then I start sewing, I make either oval or round rugs. I've also made hot pads with the clothesline. Very easy to make.
@@bon47ful I put my rugs in the washer on delicate or light load and wash with cool water. After the washer is done, then I hang to dry in the bathtub. When I sew I use a zigzag stitch for my rugs. If you have Facebook, you can look up Laurie's Homemade Rugs. You're very welcome
@@tinawilliams3059 Throw the rugs in the washer and use the delicate cycle and for drying I let them air dry on top of the dryer or hang them on top of the shower curtain.
Such a good tutorial, I’ve never even attempted to make one of these but, your tutorial was so thorough and easy to follow, I’m sure I could, I’m also sure it wouldn’t look anything like as well made as yours does 😆. Your voice is so clear and calming, also you don’t talk just for the sake of talking ... so many people end up prattling on about their neighbours cousins best friends cat who had kittens etc etc ... leaving you confused and unable to follow.
That rug is a beautiful creation that is of high quality. It does not look crafty. It looks like it takes some practice and skill to make. I have to try to make one of those rugs now that I have seen how it is done. It is just so nice. Thank you for taking your time and repeating the instructions several times as you went along.
What a beautiful fun project. This would be a fun project with a young gal to make . You could do a shopping day and come home and get her well acquainted and let her work on it with a slight amount of supervision. Thank you for the great tutorial on this.
After making my 1st one of these rugs I realized 1) you can use ordinary clothes pins...which I already had 2) you can your own batting in about 20 minutes for a fraction of these product rolls most quilters already have the mats & cutters 3) same with fabric if you think you can pick right colors every fabric store has them arranged in color groups..easy peasy for a fraction of these Jelly Rolls. Her way to start is superior to the other lady who makes you buy her pattern. I still had a little wiggle but not bad. I could press it to lay flat...nothing like some I saw on videos. Thanks for your help
Kimberlie Anne you are so right. It is more cost effective to use your own materials. In our classes we suggest using scrap fabric and batting first until you get used to making the rug. Thanks for your wonderful comment 😁
@@kimberlieanne5271 I agree whole heartedly, cut your own strips of batting and quilt strips. If you watch for sales it will be way more cost effective. Especially if your interested in selling your rugs.
She explains on how to make this rug a nd real very easy to use. So i ordered he pattren . The down load was easy to use. I'll be making rugs for Christmas this year.
Your tutorial is absolutely wonderful in every way. Your directions are very nice and easy to follow and your voice is so very pleasant to listen too. Thank You so very much for sharing this. Your work is beautiful
I bought a pattern to make a rug but unfortunately failed miserably so I have just purchased this pattern - it looks so much easier and the video tutorial is great.
Hands down, i think, this is best tutorial and instructor/instruction for the jelly roll rugs. Can’t wait to get on to making one using your idea for simple and sturdier rug! Thank you. I am finding you for first time am anxious to see what other tutorials you have going. Maggie in Texas!
Thank You for sharing this method of making Jelly Roll Rugs. You have a very calm soothing voice & You didn't hurry the process, you clearly demonstrated the steps which I really appreciate. Since California is under a stay in place order, I call it a stay put order, because of the Corona Virus I thought I would learn how to make these (It is kind of nice to actually have time to do things here at home :) ) I am a quilter & I am always looking for things to make to go with the quilts I gift to Dear ones. I look forward to more of Your tutorials. Thank You again. God Bless...
My rug turned out beautiful. Your tips about moving the center, not pulling the cording & working on a flat surface, extension table made all the difference! Thank You so much :)
