We're always looking for projects that we can complete using precuts like Jelly Rolls, and this one is so cute and so fun we had to share it with you! We love that this project is both pretty and practical, and we've gotten permission from Roma, the pattern designer, to share a part of the process with you.
You'll need 40 of these 2.5 inch by width of fabric strips to make this 30" x 42" Rug, and 2 rolls of batting. The pattern covers how to make other shapes, and you can increase the size of the rug simply by using more strips.
We used the Bernina #97D foot to create the strips. We used the Bernina #20 foot to zig-zag the strips together. We did not use a walking foot while assembling the rug.
NOTE: In this video, Jen says the batting rolls measure 50 yards and that you'll need 2. The rolls actually measure 25 yards each-you will need a total of 50 yards (or 2 rolls) for 1 Jelly Roll Rug.
We recommend sewing your rug with a heavy-duty needle, like a denim needle, that will be able to handle the bulk of the strips. You can find our suggestions in the list below.

Shabby Fabrics why does using the precut batting make a more substantial rug? Is it thicker?

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

That's a great question CJ 1419. It doesn't necessarily make the rug thicker, it just makes it more convenient to use precut batting. You certainly can cut your own strips, we just like to skip extra steps when we can. :) - Morgan

Let me suggest as I have just finished mine. Use your quilting gloves ... this makes moving the heavy awkward piece around . And use the "Stitch-in-the-ditch" foot to join the long piece to make the rug. You will not have to worry that you are missing one side or the other

@Spokenfan 5 лет назад

This is so pretty and fun 👍. Thank you for sharing. I have never made a rug like this before and I feel like Dory that I got lost for a second because one second you are clipping and taking to the machine and the next second the rug is shaped and almost finished when you show the zigzag part. I don’t understand how it got in that particular shape or dimensions. I love the fabrics and kits but I must admit I am lost on the instructions.

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

Unfortunately, we couldn't show the entire process (like how to start the shape) because this is someone else's pattern. The pattern designer, Roma, gave us permission to show strip construction and share some tips, but asked us to keep other parts of the construction out of the video. Her pattern is really well written and guides you through everything perfectly. You can also see our latest tutorial for the Jelly Roll Slice Rug - this one is our pattern and we show you the entire process: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dhx0eE0TvXk.html - Morgan

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for watching! We think a beginner could definitely handle this project. It's really not as difficult as it looks, though it does take a good amount of time.

@datasciyinfo5133 9 месяцев назад

For a beginner, I would suggest making a very small test one first. A table top version 10”x15” or so. You will figure out how to sew around corners on your very small table top mat. Then you can see if you want to tackle a big floor rug.

@flyingeaglewoman8682 5 лет назад

A paper towel stand would be handy to hold the batting roll.

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

@vickibagwell8340 5 лет назад

Yes, and roll it on the paper towel cardboard so it will unwind easily.

@vickibagwell8340 5 лет назад

Let me clarify, once you sew the strips to the batting, roll it back up on a cardboard roll to sew into your rug.

@colbob1231 5 лет назад

Jen, I am in the process of this fun project. I am "at the end of my rope" and am now starting to sew the actual rug. I have never seen a tute that shows how to sew the 1st couple of rounds. I am stuck on the 2nd round. I know I have the rope facing correctly, just don't know how to turn that corner. Can you help?? Thanks, and gorgeous rug!!

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

Hi Colleen! Hope you're having fun with the rug! We would have loved to show that part in the video, but we didn't want to give away the pattern that Roma, the pattern designer, worked hard to create. She asked us to leave that part out. Do you have your pattern in front of you? Roma's directions are really great for starting the rug. It's mostly just muscling it into place while you round that corner. - Morgan

We did not show this, as every sewing machine is different. I did pass this along to our video team. However, you can search via RU-vid, and find video tutorials showing how your exact sewing machine can be loaded.

Hi Jennifer, just watching your tutorial now. I also have a Bernina and you mentioned adjusting the pressure on the foot. Do you remember what you set the pressure to , to work with the bulk? Thanks!

@ShabbyFabrics 2 года назад

Hi Anndalynn - We adjusted ours based on our bulk. Adjust the pressure foot while it is up, and make sure there is a bit of air between your bulk and foot before placing your pressure foot down. Hope this makes sense! -Michelle

@lindamercer1736 6 лет назад

@CJG1419 6 лет назад

My hesitation about making these rugs is that I’ve heard you have to iron them after washing. Will using sizing initially keep the fabric flat after washing? Also could you simply use the batting down the middle of the strip making less bulk to sew (even though the rug would not be as thick and soft)?

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

We're not sure if batting down the middle of the strip would work, because we haven't tried it ourselves. We like the 2.5" batting strips because we don't have to do any extra cutting with them, but you could certainly give it a try. Sizing should help keep them flat, but you may need to give them a quick press after washing.

@eileenfb1948 6 лет назад

2.0 is 2 mm therefore you would need to measure BUT if you know whether it’s a large or a small stitch that will do. My machine doesn’t have these sizes so that is how I get it in the right ballpark.

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

In the pattern, those numbers just refer to stitch length (5.5mm) and stitch width (2.0). A lot of machines differ, so it's a good idea to just test your zig-zag before you get started. Make sure it's wide enough to catch both strips, and short enough to hold it all together. Hope that helps!

Do you have tips on how to stop the curling of the fabric. I have ironed and starched every couple of rows but still,is wavy

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

That can happen when you pull the fabric too much while sewing, but it's also just a natural thing with these rugs. Each of ours has curled up around the edges. We press it using Magic Sizing, lots of steam, and spend quite a bit of time on it. We've also heard from other makers that they press it and steam it, and then set something very heavy on top of it (like lots of books) for a day or two to help keep it flat. That seems to work well.

@CJG1419 6 лет назад

Keddy Eddy someone I saw cut their own fabric on the bias which they said, helps take out the waviness too.

In a way Sizing is the same as Spray Starch, but there is a small difference. Sizing is used to give fabric more of a body versus Starch is used to give a stiffness to your fabric. That was a great question! :)

Can you use Best Press instead of sizing?

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

You sure can! We just have Magic Sizing laying around, so that's what we used. :)

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

Magic Sizing smells so nice! We like that it's readily available at most grocery stores, and is inexpensive. :)

Bosal now makes fusible 2 1/4 inch batting. Would it be easier to use that batting?

Hi Carmen! Either batting would work well! Thank you for watching! - Sophie

Is that jelly roll rug stitched by normal sewing machine?

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

Yes! We used our Bernina 770QE, but most sewing machines can handle the bulk just fine! - Morgan

@ms.sweeteae3899 6 лет назад

Nice job, but it would have been helpful if you showed us how you started sewing in the beginning.

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

That would have been very helpful! However, since we didn't design the pattern, we're protecting Roma's hard work, and showing just a bit of the process. We love to share, but we don't want to steal from other designers. :) Thanks so much for watching, hope you liked it!

@grandmalovesmebest 3 года назад

Didnt realize this was so old. Hope you made your rug and was happy w it. I wasted much time and data looking for WHERE to sew to close the tube. Reminded me of my mom decades ago who said women never want your work (recipes, sewing, cooking, etc) to be as good as theirs so they always fail to tell you something vital, or add or subtract an ingredient. Looks like we HAVENT come a long way after all.

@jessannchittum9360 3 года назад

But what if you don’t have a flat table thing on your sewing machine? Won’t it make it wavy? Or could I stack books to take it flat idk lol

@biancaclarke5825 3 года назад

I dont have the table so I am going to stack books.

@ShabbyFabrics 3 года назад

Yes, stacking books to the height would be a good solution as not all sewing machines are equipped with the extra "table" piece. -Michelle

How do you start the first part of the rug and go around d the curves to start?

@ShabbyFabrics 2 года назад

We're glad you like this project! This information can be found in the written pattern - unfortunately, this was not one of the portions that the designer gave us permission to disclose. Thanks for watching. 💖 -Michelle

@suemitchell2200 6 лет назад

When finished does the rug need to be used on top of carpeting so it does not slide on wood or tile floor? Or is there a non-slip matting that can be sewn on the bottom? TIA

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

You can use it on any type of flooring it might move around more on a tile or wood floor, but you should be able to find some not-slip matting to sew to the bottom. Unfortunately, we do not sell this item, but you should be able to find some online or maybe even in some fabrics stores near you.

@debbieoneal3371 5 лет назад

What are you spraying? Did I miss that? I agree the camera should have done a close up. For a beginner what do you mean sizing it?

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

We were spraying with Magic Sizing, which is what we mean when we say "sizing it". Sizing helps give it a bit of body, stiffens it up a bit, and makes it behave more nicely. ;) - Morgan

Shabby Fabrics ok thank you.

@BoojiePanda 6 лет назад

Can you tell me how much thread I would need for this project?

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

Yes! You need a lot of thread! We suggest pre-winding bobbins (we use 3 on our Bernina, but those are larger bobbins than most machines use). We use a 1,000m spool.

@BoojiePanda 6 лет назад

Thank you SEW much!!!

@cramertr1 6 лет назад

Thanks for showing the the different techniques. It would help if some of the jelly rolls and batting rolls were moved off of the table. They were blocking the camera. Way to much clutter. There is no need to have a jelly roll display on the table for the tutorial.

@jameschapman6958 5 лет назад

If you check back, this technique was developed by Aunties Two Patterns back in 2009 after the clothesline craze. She has a tug pattern called Bats In The Rug using cotton batting cut to 2 1/2” strips (she talked Bosal into cutting the rolls of batting) when people complained about how hard it was to sew clothesline. RJ copies the technique and now has a placemat/coaster pattern that is exactly the same as Aunties Two's pattern Table Attire 3 ways. RJ should come with an end dear and technique of her own instead of copying other other peoples work

@Jana-TheCraftyGambler 5 лет назад

What is the difference in spray starch and sizing?

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

The difference between Spray Starch and Sizing is that Starch is used to add stiffness to fabrics; whereas, sizing is used to give the fabric more body. You can use spray starch in placement of sizing; however, sometimes it can make your fabric overly stiff. If you have any further questions please let me know as I am always happy to help! -Kyla

@susanstanley5192 5 лет назад

I made one of these, but it curls up. How can I fix it? I have been told to rip it out and start again.

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

Don't rip it out! :) All of ours curl up as well, that's normal. We've found that Magic Sizing sprayed liberally on the rug combined with pressing and steaming really helps the rug to lie nice and flat. Give that at try and let us know how it works. - Morgan

@victoriabazzle-woods6271 6 лет назад

What do you mean by "using sizing"

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

Jen means "Magic Sizing" which is the ironing spray she uses to help prep the fabric.

@DianneR-ei2zu 6 лет назад

Do we have to have that sewing machine to do that rug

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

No, you don't have to have this machine. Almost any machine will work as long as the needle and presser foot can handle the bulk of the material.

@lindafoster7925 6 лет назад

Jennifer, I watched this a couple days ago and I can't stop thinking about the Bernina machine on your table. When you were sewing on it, is was so quiet and appears to be a good strong machine. Could you share the design/machine name and love to get you opinion for quilting/crafting with that machine? Loved your tutorial, very helpful.

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

Hi Linda, I am sewing on a Bernina 770QE and I LOVE this machine. It's so strong, reliable and has an incredible warranty. The array of presser feet alone are incredible. You get top notch service and training from your local dealer. I definitely recommend Bernina to anyone who loves to sew and/or quilt. XO Jen
