The block has incorrect instructions for the 1904 star. There are two parts of misinformation. I was able to figure it out. Maybe the creators could correct it.
I'm not sure if this pattern will be released outside of the BOM. And I've found other errors as well; I haven't received any response when I've forwarded them to Northcott, but I keep trying. And since this is 2023 BOM, I wouldn't be surprised if this pattern is shelved.
Thank you for responding, I too found other errors.
Thank you, nobody said to press it🤣❤
Around 28:50 the pieces do need to be adjusted a bit.
For people who want to see what you are sewing at the start, rather than immediately reversing at the start, then start going forward from the open end to the turned over section. Then pivot rug under the needle, and rotate around to go forward again for the rest of the rug.
Great tip!
Thank you. You were the only one to show how to start. Very helpful. Thanks again😊❤
Finalmente si vede l' inizio
The best teaching is showing mistakes! I love your voice and style!
Wow, thank you!
I would love to find a chart that shows how long the starting piece should be to get the size oval rug you want. Such as, I'm only using one jelly roll and want an oval rug so should I start with a 6 inch turn, a 12 inch turn? Anyone know of something like that?
I'm not aware of any chart... I do know that the longer the first/center/starting rope, the more oval it'll be. In the original pattern, the designer gives a length that creates an oval shape. Plus a bunch of other tips - it's worth a purchase.
If you have a finished size you want, then work out the length and width. Then subtract the smallest number from the biggest number. Then use the start tail the length of that number. For example you want a rug 36” long and 24” wide. So 36 - 24 = 12 So you have the first length as 12 inches.
@@hunterwatson8613 That is exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you so much. I don't even need to write that down to remember it. Again, thank you.
@@stevemcmillin2737 my first jelly roll rug I made in a rectangle, using single straight strips. It was relatively easy, as no need to worry about turning the fabric around corners. The only issue is ensuring you feed each strip evenly as you sew, as the strips can start to bend left or right. If you only have one jelly roll, you could make the rectangular rug with stripes of the various fabrics. You may wish to cut each jelly roll strip into two, so you end up with 4 stripes of each fabric (presuming your jelly roll has 2 of each colour), or possibly join each separate fabric and cut into three. Or join the whole jelly roll strips together as one long one, and then just make the rug with the exact width you wish. Just be aware to join one of those strips with the seams together, so you end up with the two outer sides having the rounded edge, rather than having open edges, as this youtuber says the word ‘mouth’).
Is the fabric you used in this video available? I cant seem to find it in your info.
Click on Banyan Batik/Northcott link. Then type "Symphony BOM' in the search field to find a list of the fabrics. It shipped to stores last December.

The book says 12 inch finished. ‘Finished means after the block is sewn to the others when sewing all blocks together- then the finished block in the quilt will measure 12 inches! Correct? I am still learning and I think I remember seeing 6 inch finished block on previous blocks and may have to remake some of the earlier blocks because I thought ‘ finished’ meant when you were finished constructing that block, not after all blocks are sewn together. I have read through the manual and listened to this video and I do not hear or see on the transcript the size of this block when all 4 are sewn together. Help please before I cut unnecessarily. Thanks Sandy
Yes - finished size means after the blocks are pieced together; unfinished size is usually a half inch bigger to account for those seam allowances. You'll see pattern writers use both or sometimes just one or the other terms when writing the pattern and describing the blocks. So if it's a 12 inch finished block, the unfinished size is 12.5 inches. As I'm not the author, nor am I being paid by Northcott, I try my best to not mention sizes so that the integrity of the copyright isn't crossed.
Thanks so much! Would you please share how many inches at the beginning would you see if you were making an oblong?
The longer that first-center rope, the more oval the rug will become. I've done various lengths between 3 inches to 15 inches; some others will tell you different lengths. My best advice is to pick a starting length and see how you like it.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤ THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING THIS STEP SO THROUGHLY. THANK YOU FOR SHARING 🎉🎉🎉🎉 KNOWLEDGE,
Thanks Cynthia
When you drew your paper piecing to tape together (like your friend did). Do you cut on the outside template line from the original? Or the inner? I’m thinking the inner is your stitch line?
Yup - when glued/taped together it should look just like my sample at 5:33. The seam allowance (outside line) is only needed for the very outside edge of the block.
Your instructions were great! Thank you so much.
Thanke you very very very much ❤
You're welcome 😊
Perché chiamate il tessuto gelatina.Che tipo di tessuto è
There may be a translation problem here so I hope this answers your question. The term "jelly roll" is a title created by Moda Fabrics for their 2.5 inch strip sets. There's usually 40 to 42 strips, that are then rolled up and packaged. It's still quilters cotton fabric.
Thank you , thank you. I’ve watched this about 20 times before it clicked ! Thank you for your clear , concise instructions , it makes it easier as well when your binding has a outside and inside difference, so much easier when you can tell which is outside or inside ( for me anyway ).
Glad it was helpful!
I couldn't get through this month's block without this video x 1000!!! I'm just finishing - I haven't ever done these before and O M Goodness it's a doozy!!!!!!! They have come out OK and actually, I think this is quite a pretty pattern block. However - this took me all weekend and I'm still not done. LOL - again - thanks ❤🧵
I am making a rug and when you would sew the fabric and batting together to make a rope to sew to the rug, I am eliminating sewing that process and just sew it directly to my rug Is there a problem with this? I appreciate your opinion. Thanks
Well, I suppose you could. It would probably require more managing of the "rope" possibly with clips. I'd imagine you'd have to be even more certain that the zig-zag stitch is crossing between the two sides. And I could see this affecting how flat the rug will be at the end. I've never skipped this step in the process so this is just an educated guess. Please let me know if you attempt it and how it turns out!
I am in the process of using this method and it seems to be working out well. I have not had any waves and so far the rug is lying flat. Would send you a picture of you like.
How do you make it so it will stay flat
Having the in-set table, or using some type of platform around the bed of the machine definitely helps. I also tell my students to PRESS, PRESS, PRESS!!! I press after every circle or so; and I use a lot of steam and Best Press.
Very helpful, thank you!
BEST VIDEO THAT I'VE COME ACROSS. Thank you so much!! ❤
Fantastic! Thanks!
Thank you so much, you are the only one I have found that shows the actual beginning and ending, and that's what we beginners need to know, you made it look so easy ty
Yes!
Hello and thank you so much for these videos - they are extremely helpful! for your color stickers - you have just printed the letter/number straight onto sticker paper, right? smart. I think I need to get me some sticker paper now. 😊
Enjoy your videos they are so helpful, which machine needle type and size do you prefer for this block (Microtex or Quilting)
I have an over abundance of regular sharp needles, so that's what I use for piecing. I switch them out a couple times a week. Batiks sew better with fresh needles. Big fan of microtex needles when I quilt and do any embroidery work.
I just wanted to say thank you for a detailed video as I just couldn’t figure out how to start my rug! After watching you for like 25 times, I think I finally got it and I’m well on my way! 😊
Best jelly roll rug video ever! Thanks
Eu ainda não entendi como vc faz pra deixar as tiras cm um formato duro,tem como fazer um vídeo, obrigado ❤amo seu trabalho
Not sure if this will help; the Google translate to English was strange. I think you're asking how to make the continuous strip. I just posted a video on this step: ua-cam.com/video/O06685NP_Gc/v-deo.htmlsi=Y32w97WIivJuVrMJ
Hi. I enjoyed your video. I’m struggling with my very first rug. I’ve been going very slow; using walking foot and jeans needle and pressing/stream/starch the heck out of it. I have Brother Runway special edition. I really want to get good at this since I’m planning on making these for Christmas presents. Any encouragement would be appreciated. Thank you!
Hi Laurie! Thanks for watching the video. I know that the first rug can feel like a bit of a beast, but it sounds like you're on the right track. Just keep doing what you're doing!
Love this. Great tutorial and love the steps. Thank you.
My corners are good but my straight sides get a wavey. Can you tell me what i am doing wrong and how to. Correct it Thank you .
Hi Elaine! So without seeing your rug, I'll throw out a couple of common issues and hope it helps. First, if you're not using a walking foot (and your machine has one), I strongly suggest using it. Often waviness is caused by uneven movement of the fabric. If your curves are fine, but the sides are wavy, then try gently pulling the rope/cord taunt at the sides. Think of it as light elastic and pull a little. That way you're not adding excess cord to the rug. And lastly, the iron is your best friend in this project. Turn it on high, and crank up that stream. The more you press, the flatter the rug will be. Pressing is essential especially if you're having waves. I hope this helps. Good luck!
I'm a fan of your tutorials! I don't think I would be able to do this without them. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad! Thank you! And good luck with your quilt!
I just found you! I love the way you make this very simple . I do want to find out what does the “F9, F7, etc stand for? Thank you.
Fabric 9, Fabric 7 ... keeping all the fabrics labeled and finished blocks labeled is essential since so many of these neutral fabrics are similar.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial. I followed your instructions and laid each block out on a separate design board and did what you suggested by starting with the 4-patch 1st. I did all 5 blocks 4 patches before going to the next step. Like you said, this put less pieces out to confuse me. Then did the 1/2 square triangles pieces laying them on top and pinning them one block at a time. I normally would chain sew them all at the same time. But this way made it less confusing. Thank you. 👍
Great job! I'm glad it was helpful.
Excellent video!!!! New to EQ8, and this really helped!!
I just wanted to tell you THANK YOU SO MUCH for these WONDERFUL INFORMATIVE videos! I feel like I am still a beginner quilter, well maybe an Advanced Beginner. You know...someone who knows just enough to get themselves in trouble! LOL I am so far behind on these blocks, but your videos have helped me ALOT on the ones I do have done. I am getting ready to go to a quilt retreat next weekend...and I'm planning on taking it with me to work on part of the time. With some health issues this last year, I just haven't had the time or felt like working on the quilt as much as I wanted. So hopefully I'll finish it this year, thanks to you and your videos! Keep up the good work! You do a wonderful job explaining the different steps and why you do what you do throughout! Banyan Batiks should definitely, give you something for such helpful tutorials! (Just saying) Thanks again!!!! :) (PS: I will try and give you an update...later down the road)
Thank you! Have fun at the retreat, and keep me updated on your progress! If you're on Instagram you can tag #myquiltlab on your Solare progress!
Thank you for showing how to start this rug.
What size is the finished square? Ty
The authors list the finished size of each block in their pattern. (I try to refrain from using numbers out of respect for their copyright.)
Lovely block, thank you.
Great tutorial, so simple, thank you!
You're welcome!
brilliant
And how many jelly rolls do you buy for each rug ?
One jelly roll will make the regular pattern. There's a double jelly roll pattern too, and it's really big.
Do you have a video on how to make the strips (the ball ) ?
I don't. I originally made this video for a class I thought that ran long. The next time I make a rug though, I'll make a quick video and comment back here.
Awesome tutorial, thank you ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much!!!!!
You're welcome!
Great tip for lining them up
Glad to help
That helps alot.
