- Come sew with Sheila from Just Sew Happy as she shares how to make a rail fence version of a jelly roll rug!
Supply lists and the schedule for the rest of the Jelly Roll Day 2021 projects are at justsewhappy.com.
Think I could make this style rug! Thanks for the video!
So glad I found this video. Can't wait to make one myself. She gives absolutely wonderful instructions, so very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I just found this tutorial and I really like your teaching style and your take on a jelly roll rug. I plan to make placemats using this method.
Thank you! So glad you liked the tutorial. We'd love to see your placemats in our sew-and-tell Facebook group once you make them!!
THANK YOU for telling us to trim those precut batting rolls need to be trimmed. I had been struggling with not being able to easily fold it. I thank you for telling me that! Makes a HUGE difference!
Definitely makes a big difference!
Amazon has them in 2.25 now! Highly recommend
You are so awesome. Thank you for stating the obvious on this project. Age-old techniques are not a secret or owned by any pattern owner. Other creators are scared to death to give simple tips like however wide your strip set is, that’s how you measure where to cut a darn square. Love ya
Aw, thanks Rebecca! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Jelly roll spaghetti hehe! You're a delight.❤
I am getting ready to make a jelly roll rug and I just came across yours and I was thinking the circular ones and the oval ones look to be kind of complicated this looks a lot easier to do I might do this one
Good quilt retreat project😊
Look like a heating pad. Thank you for sharing.
Hi, just found your postings, like your style and ideas.
Thank you.
Could I just zigzag another 3-strip long jellyroll spaghetti strip around the rug instead of a traditional binding? The binding covers some of the strips and is very thick to sew.
Sure! Anything to close up those edges will work!
This seems like so much easier to make then a round or oval one because you don't have all the strips in the sewing machine at the same time to try and manage. I have not done a rug yet but I think I will try this type first.
Do you find the are slippery, I am thinking they would be. Do you use anything to help them not be slippery....like glue gun drops?
Thanks for sharing...great idea.
We haven’t had an issue with slipping but it probably depends on the floor more than the rug. We’d recommend a rug grip/rug pad over something like hot glue.
I made one of these. It sits on the tile floor in front of my dishwasher. I don't have any problem with it slipping on the tiles.
I’ve made an oval rug and it does slip on my tile floor. I’ve been using remnants of shelf / drawer gripper rubber under it to keep it positioned.
Hello! Did you ever get a pic of the finished rug? I’d love to see that!
I wish! This one got whisked away before we got a picture. But we've had some shared in our Facebook sew-and-tell "Block Stars" group!
When I start sewing strips together, I overlap the folded side, and when I sew the sets of 2 together do I overlap those too?
We typically do a tiny overlap, but it's really more about making sure there's not a gap beneath the zigzags (pushing them against one another as you stitch is maybe a more accurate description than a true overlap)
There is a better tool for making the tubes that makes the fold designed for this!
What is the tool called?
@@joycerandolph7658 jelly roll rug tool. Lol
Clover makes a fabric tube maker that has four pieces folds it once and then the other two pieces folds it the second time
Question- How wide and long did your Rail Fence Jelly Roll Rug come out?
I don't think we ever got a finished measurement on this one, but you can add extra strips (even cut from yardage) to make it exactly the size you want! One strip set should get you to at least 24"x36", but maybe a bit larger depending on the brand/number of strips included in the set.
Is the zig zag enough to keep the raw edges of the block from fraying or having batting show?
Yes, but if you're worried you can always shorten your stitch length for some extra coverage.
I think that I'd serge the edge before binding
Steam along the way and a walking foot prevent that waviness you have
