Your instructions are very more helpful and informative than any others I have viewed. You’re awesome. Thank you so much. God bless you
You are so welcome, and that is so kind of you to say!!!
So glad I saw this tutorial. I made an oval rug & used the zig zag stitch, and had one heck of a time with skipping stitches ! I was pulling my hair out ! Tried different kinds of needles, different stitch widths, changed the tension. Nothing really worked. Struggled to finish the rug. I did go back and went over all the area that had the skipped stitches on it. I said this is my 1st & last rug ! Now I will try it again, using this other zig zag stitch ! Thank you so very much ! 😊
Wonderful! I hope it works out for you, and sorry you had so much trouble. I'm glad you didn't give up.
Thank you !!! 😊
I used this color jelly roll to make a color wheel for my grandchildren. They love. Great way to teach colors and also math. 🤗
....you're a genius. Mixing fun and learning! You get the coolest grandma award 🥰🥰
I had the darndest problem with skipped stitches until I shortened my stitch length and width. I found that 6.0 width and 1.5 length did not skip. I also found that the walking foot sometimes caused issues so used the zigzag foot. It fed through the machine fine. I have an Elna EF72 machine. Also agree 21/4 inch batting is best, found on Amazon in 50 ft length, just enough for a jelly roll. And I found the Clover Fabric Tube maker is a game changer, it folds the batting and jelly roll twice, once in the middle and then in half and all you need to do is sew. No more wonder clipping! Not to dis Wonder Clips, I love them as well. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Thank you for sharing this. I love how we all learn from each other.
Thank you for sharing with us, I just made my first rug using all your tips and I used fat quarters and I cut into 2.5 inch strips and love the outcome. I couldn’t find the Bosal batting that many artist use and suggested in any of the local quilt shops or Joann’s in person so I used felt that I had in my supplies and cut the pieces into 1 1/4 in seeing this is my first rug and it worked, as far as a learning process. Thank you
That's wonderful! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the process and the results 🤩🤩
I wanted to see it done!
@@mimiwilliams1560 me too
@@mimiwilliams1560 I watched your entire video waiting to see the final product.😭😭
I’m wondering why you didn’t show the finished rug? I wanted to see the final product and am disappointed.
Thanks for showing the different issues that might come up and giving suggestions, that is very helpful. Great Job!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Very good tutorial. I watched a couple other tutorials and this one actually showed how to start and stop. Great Job! Enjoyed watching!
Awesome, thank you!
Enjoyed your presentation!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
This is a wonderful pattern! Great instructions too. I'm going to make this with Christmas fabrics and make a table runner. Can't wait! THANKS SO MUCH!
Great idea! I can't wait to hear about it.
Great idea of cutting them into fours for more color. I like that
Thank you! 😊
I’ve always used the 2 1/4” batting, doesn’t clog my Gypsy binder, easy to sew.
Hello! I hope you had a great day! I spent my day sewing with talented ladies on line. Now, I'm going to sit with my hand quilting and watch your video. I hope you have a marvelous week ahead. Thank you for posting this video and for your time.
Hi. Your day sounds lovely 🥰 Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much! No one will show how to start these. All of them say to read your pattern. I did read it and still didn't understand! I have only made squares for this reason. So excited to try this out! Thank you ❤😂
Glad I could help!
Excellent tutorial. Explains things well for a beginner.
Glad you think so!
Excellent! Thank you very much for your clarity explaining. I’m ready to make one for each of my granddaughters!
That’s so sweet! You are going to love making them.
Thank you for this tutorial. I think I want to try this project for a retreat
Please do! I'd love to hear all about it.
Wow! Thank you so much for such an informative tutorial. I will definitely try this one! You always try and make it easier for us and work out all the kinks before hand. You are so much fun to watch. Thank you for being you💖
Aw Donna, Thank YOU! 🥰 I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!
Really beautiful rug! Have you tried the Gypsy tube tool, that will make everything you’re doing so much easier. You put the material in it and it actually folds it exactly like that and you so your tube as you go. Hope this helps
Thanks for the reminder! I do have that tool!
Can you use a bias thing to feed the fabric/quilting thru it? It comes out folded ? Soooo cute!!!
@@nancejack56 That's what I was wondering.
I just made one and the broken zigzag stitch makes so much sense on my next one. I will try it.
YAY! So happy to hear.
Thank you for this content, I greatly appreciate you sharing your mistakes and explaining things on how you would change your approach. I look forward to the next tutorial
I appreciate that! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful rug, thank you for your lovely tutorial.❤
Thank you! 😘😘
Haha! I don’t need quilt math to make me crazy but it does add a nice layer (to the insanity)!🤣
Your instruction & tips are great! Thank you!😊
I'm glad you found it helpful!
I think these rugs are so cute! I was at a fabric shop over the weekend and they were having a class on how to make these rugs. But they were using a little plastic “thing” to feed the fabric through. I think I would like to make an oval rug, but I am still learning to sew. I guess the farther you get putting the strips together, the easier it gets? Thank you for sharing this process.
I did use the little plastic piece when I made my first rug. It replaces the use of the clips... Both complete the same task 🥰
Wow! Very nice. I think I am not ready for this project just yet. Thank you for the video. I enjoyed watching!
One step at a time 🥰 or something to file away for the future!
You look so cute in your cap! 🎉 Adorable! New subscriber here, and appreciating learning from you!
Thanks for subbing! That is so sweet, thank you.
What a wonderful and detailed tutorial. I have always wanted to make a rug like this! I love your color choices. Free Spirit fabrics are so bold and bright! Love it!
Thank you so much! Yes to all the wonderful bright colors!
Very interesting, I must try this once I get the quilts made. I have about 15 to make.
Very instructive
So glad that you enjoyed the tutorial, Janna! Good luck with your quilt jelly roll rug! 😘😘
So beautiful
Thank you! ❤🥰
I would sew an extra line of long stitches across the end and down about 4" or so. Pull the bobbin thread to gather it up. I haven't tried it, but seems like it would help pull it into a circle.
That is a great idea to try and cinch it in. I'll have to try it next time 👏 Thanks for sharing!
Awesome and very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Love that hat on you!
Thank you so much 😆 Some days the hair just doesn't want to do what it is supposed to do
I would use the 2 1/4" batting. It's much easier to sew. Use a jeans needle.
Both really good tips! thanks for chiming in ❤
New to the channel I’m starting to make Christmas gifts for next year so my question here is is there another option for use if quilt batting in the centre
Q#2) why are the pieces have to sewn at an angle can I sew them end to end
I would have waited till I had two rolls of padding and a jelly roll tube maker is so labor saving!!!
Thank you for these tips! Random question; is there a pattern for the bag you put the clips in as you sewed your strips (the 20 min mark)? Thank you!
Hi Portia! I don't have a tutorial on my channel yet for that little notions basket, but I love it so much! Absolutely endlessly useful in the sewing room and around the house. I do have a tutorial here that shows step by step how to make it! iseestarsquilting.com/fabricbaskettutorial/ 😘😘 Have fun!
@@ISeeStarsQuilting Perfect! Thank you ❤
Also? Not a project to make as a gift for elders who have a slip & fall issue. Lovely work!
Oh I love you, you are excellent everything thank you
That is so very kind of you Teresa.
@@ISeeStarsQuilting you are a good teacher, easy to understand,
How big did it turn out to be plz? Been wanting to attempt but new to sewing on a machine... Wanta do enough in 1st go to make big enough from start of putting together...
those fabric clips are so handy eant way quicker too
I made one of these and found that using at least a 30 wt thread (I ended up using an industrial thread that is used for outdoor purposes) and a size 20 needle on my Sailrite LSZ which is a walking foot machine that will sew through bone for clean, even stitches when sewing through bulk like this. I used my Baby Lock Crescendo to piece it and also the sasher tool (Pauline from Australia is the maker of the tool and I can’t remember her last name at the moment but the sasher tool eliminates the need for the clips because you just pull it down the length of your strip as you go). I don’t use my Sailrite very much because I don’t do a lot of sewing that requires such a heavy duty machine so, if you belong to a sewing group you might ask around to see if anyone has one they’d let you use to make your rug. They’re portable but are built like tanks, no frills or fancy stitches and were invented to repair sails and marine vinyl tears on boats. I use mine for outdoor cushion covers, marine vinyl grill cover, and rugs like this. Otherwise she’s idle which makes me think someone might be happy to have you bring your prepared strip and sew it in their studio. Just a thought.
Thank you for this great information! I'll have to try the more industrial thread next time and see if it helps!
@ You’re welcome! I hope you get improved results 🌼.
Loved the video! What size rug did it make?
Thank you! It came out to be right at about 29" in diameter. 🥰
Hi what do you need to put in the back of the rug to keep it from slipping and sliding once on the floor?
I have mine in a small bathroom. There isn't much place for it to go... But I do use a rug mat in my kitchen. It is a rubbery material that I got from target that is meant for that exact purpose! You could trim it to size if your rug tends to move
The tip on the broken zig zag stitch is great. I tried to make one of these and used plain zigzag and failed. The ball ended up in the cupboard for years!
Sorry to hear that I hope you try it again.
I would have liked to see the finished project at the end.
@@24sevyn93 same here. I watched the whole video mostly to see the end product
@@BeekoKat she held it up in the middle of the video & you’re able to see the majority of it, but yeah she could use some better shots of the entire project
Love it! I also learned how to take a large 50 year old wool Jelly Roll Rug apart so it will fit in a garbage bag. Cleaning an old house! :)
That is awesome!
One comment to add. Make sure you clean the fluff out of your machine before abd after sewing the tube. My bobbin got hung up and it was due to the amount of fluff in the bobbin case. I was using hand cut batting. Will use bosal next time and hopefully will not have as much fluff. I'm goiing to use Christmas fabric and sew candle mats. Thanks for posting this excellant tutoeial
Thank you for sharing that great tip!
I’m intregged . What kind & model of sewing machine do you have. Thank you for showing us this video.
I sew on a Janome Horizon memorycraft 15000. I also still have my Janome 3160QDC that I used prior to upgrading to my 15000. My smaller machine is my travel machine.
I can’t wait to make one! May I ask what type of thread is best used in your project?
I used signature brand thread - the color is azure. Its more known in the longarm quilting materials, but its really good thread! You can find it here: amzn.to/3MoWI5q
@@ISeeStarsQuilting thank you
I think You are awesome
Aw thank you! I appreciate you 🥰🥰
Hi! I love your videos. I went to check for the scissors in your Amazon shop and didn't see them. I guess they were out of stock? What is the brand? Thanks
Hello love your tutorials and was wondering if you could do a jelly roll Bargello quilt? Thank you and keep up the amazing videos
Thats a great idea. I'm not an expert on bargello quilts, but I think it could work. Let me know if you try it out. I'd love to hear how it went 🤩
I want to but not sure, I'm just getting into quilting but I heard you can do it wit a jellyroll
This w as Awesome, thank you !
You're very welcome!
Hello. Wouldn’t it be better to use a walking foot to sew the strip?
You forgot to show it to us though 🤣. From what I managed to see, it looked nice!
Thank you! New subbie here. Take care.
Thanks for subbing!
I second the jeans needle comment , it seems to solve the skipped stitch problem
Thank you for sharing your experience 🥰
What table do you use? When I made amask, my neck and back and eyes felt like they were 90 and not 40. Any tips or suggestions?! 😊
I just have an Ikea desk for my sewing machine. My cutting table is counter height. You may look into getting an adjustable sewing chair so you can change your height
Can a smaller version be used for hot pads for a holiday dinner ? For hot plates or pans ??
Sure thing.

I wish you would have shown the rug at the end of the video. Never really got a good look at it.
Sewing your seams on the diagonal, will distribute the bulk of the seams. It does use more fabric, but it will make it easier to fold it
Great tip!
Nice! Do you have tutorials on how to make a square or rectangle rug?
I do not actually. I haven't had a need to make one for the house we live in right now. I imagine the corners would get fairly bulky depending on how big you want to make it. I'll have to do a little looking into it to see if it would work with the same technique. Thanks for watching 🙌🙌
To start do you for your first step about 18"?
If cutting your own fabric how many yards would you need?
This is a lot to answer in a short comment 🙌 Yes, you want to make your very firs strip shorter because it will help create the shifting of your following strips and help the overall random look of your jelly roll quilt.
As for the yardage that you asked about.... there is a lot that factors into that, but I wrote a blog article on it to explain the formula - iseestarsquilting.com/jelly-roll-quilt-size-guide/ Let me know if you have any questions!
I just thought of a way to hold your roll of batting. Get a toilet paper holder on a stand. They aren't too expensive and would help because the roll would be out of the way and easy to unwind.
Thats a great suggestion! I'll give it a try next time I make one of these! If you try it out, let me know how it works for you! Love brilliant ideas! 😍😍
Mateo shows a tool she has that folds the fabric into double bias as you stitch the strips. It is a 2 piece apparatus you feed the fabric through. I have not checked WAWAK catalogue yet for it.
I need to know where I can buy the roll of batting and the jelly rolls
Most any fabric store sells both.
I think to start a round rug I will start with a circle shaped piece sandwich with the batting and fabric pre-made I think I will try making the circle sandwhich and enclose the raw edges with a binding.
that is great and I LOVE the way you think! Let me know how it goes!
I would’ve liked to see the finished rug
I will add in final photos soon! My editing program was giving me a really hard time the other day and I'm working out the problems ❤
Hi! I tried to find the scissors on your Amazon, for less than $20? I'm not finding them. Did they go up in price? Thanks. I really enjoy your tutorials!
amzn.to/3B4W3SS These are the scissors - Right now they show $26, but that could be after all the holiday sales? You can add them to your cart and then leave them in there. Amazon will let you know when a price in your cart drops in price and you can snag them when they are at their lowest 😘😘
Nice video! How big of a rug did it make?
It came out to be right at about 29" in diameter. 🥰
Would it not be better to use a Walking foot when stitching this project? Including the Zig-Zag stitch?
you definitely could give it a try and see if it works better for you. I found that it made things harder to see what I was doing. I have had people tell me that it was best to go nice and slow through all of the stitching for the best result. 🙌❤
I wonder if you could crochet the starting “circle”, then come in with sewing…🤔? Either way, this is so bright and festive to make for my pups who have their favorite sun puddles to bask in so, Mama needs to make them each a rug. Thank you so much for sharing your tips~and even your annoyances~because I think as beginners, we just feel we may be doing it wrong. ☺️
I JUST learned how to crochet last month. I've been obsessed with it! It would be fun to crochet some of the jelly roll pieces to get a fun middle of the rug! Great idea thinking outside of the box 🥰🥰
I would love to know where I can purchase the “Laser Light,” please. It would be a super helpful, super appreciated tool! Does it attach easily to all machines? THANK YOU🤗
Hi I made a video where you can see a little more information here: ua-cam.com/video/6ay199K9ixo/v-deo.html And a link to buy them here: harbor-sales.com/ViviLux-Lasers&id_Affiliate=78
What size batting did u use? 2 1/2” or more 2 1/4 “
Thanks
I used 2 1/2" batting for this tutorial, but I have seen several quilters comment at 2 1/4" is a better choice!
Were did you get the laser light?
Thank you MOnica
I have a video that shows more of the laser light here: ua-cam.com/video/6ay199K9ixo/v-deo.html Let me know if you have questions!
Beautiful colors. I just wish you showed the rug afterwards.
I know.... I had behind the scenes issues with my video editing program that day. I'll do another video soon where I show the whole thing!
Maybe a couple of hand stitches in the center to get started on the circle?
Can you use a walking foot? Or is that not recommended for this type of work?
A walking foot is a great idea. I see no reason why it wouldn't be a good idea to try! 😘 IF you make one and try it out, let me know please?
What size needle do I need for the thickness?
I would recommend a jean strength needle - either a 90/14 needle for light- and medium-weight denim and a 100/16 for heavyweight denim
I wanted to see the final rug!!😭
Love your content and idea. Suggestion for this would be a walking foot to help with the bulk going through for sewing. ❤️❤️❤️
I missed the final project?? I will go back and see if I wasn’t paying attention!! Maybe it’s somewhere else in the video.. I had to take care of my dad.. looks amazing from the sewing part!!
I hope your dad is doing okay.
Should there be some kind of non slip back on it,?
I would say that it depends on where your rug is going to be. I've had one in my bathroom for a long time now and there is no non slip on the back.... not no one really goes flying through the bathroom running over it either 😂 It's pretty safe there.
I love the rug and your instructions. I was watching you start the center and how you described it as a little weird.😂 It occurred to me that it actually looks like a bellybutton! 😂
LOL love it. Once you say it, it does.
Would have loved to see the finished rug right side and back side.
I will add in final photos soon! My editing program was giving me a really hard time the other day and I'm working out the problems ❤ I'll come back and add them in
Beautiful. What is the diameter of your 25 yd. rug?
I used this pattern: amzn.to/4fMw9Gp it has really great instructions that detail every step!
It would be nice to see the finish size of rug
Did you ever show us the finished rug? I’d have loved to see what it looked like….
Wish you would have shown the finished rug. ❤️
I will add in final photos soon! My editing program was giving me a really hard time the other day and I'm working out the problems ❤

Hello to you all il am realy itresting to do this but i am wandreing that's where to purchas all this items . I can not find them in France ?? Is it possible to give me idia please thanks so muche for helping me
You should be able to find most things online. Even fabric stores online.
Is there a full view of rug ?
are you able to show your completed rug. 😁🌷
Skipped stitches are a sign of a new needle, as you may have a burr on the needle you are using, you can tell if a new needle is needed as the sound of stitching will be different!
(It sounded to me while you were stitching the length of the strip, that I could hear the burr on the needle).
I appreciate your experienced advice. I have switched my needle since then. Thank you 🥰🥰
What is the finished diameter of your rug? It's great!
This one wound up being about 30" total
Stitch length 3…check. Did you by chance reduce the pressure on your foot?
You do need two packages of the batting, unless you use the new larger ones
Yes! just the 1 package made a smaller rug but it worked out for this project! Thank you for watching🤩🤩
I did the same thing. Ran out of clips. So I sewed, then started clipping again.😅
