I absolutely love your videos, my grandma who is no longer here use to make the most beautiful quilts and yours remind me so much of hers..thank you for these videos I am 52 and hope to make at least 1 quilt I have to get a new sewing machine first I only have a small one some day I will be able to get one I pray..once again your work is beautiful.
Celebrating you, Jenny Doan, on International Women's Day!!! You are a true inspiration for women everywhere!!! Thanks for all the great instruction you provide us!!! God bless you!!!
Thank you Genny! My Granddaughter loves when i make her rugs ! And im going to make my Son a camo one ! So easy !!your a great teacher and a very nice peron!😊😂❤
You are the best!!!! I could watch you all day and I WILL learn something from watching. I can't tell you enough how great it is to follow you cause I am left handed!!! Bless you Ma'am!
I just love the way you give instructions. I can follow them and I go back again and again to check something if I'm not clear on how to do something. Thanks so much.
Today is Sunday May 23, 2021...haven't done any sewing for several years but want to get back into it and want to make a rug. Have been tryig endlessly to figure out how to cut my own jelly roll so I could get RJ's rug in separate colors with NO HELP ANYWHERE UNTIL YOU just mentioned what I suspected, do one color at a time...so now, I'm going to start making my own strips not to mention, I'm fascinated with YOUR professionalism...thank you if you check out the comments sometime...
I noticed these rugs a couple of days ago when I got the email from MSQC! Reminds me of the wool rugs a friend of my mothers used to make! Difference is, she sewed them by hand with *VERY* thick thread!! Thanks Jenny!!
Those rugs were done by braiding three stripes of fabric together. They were done completely by hand and many of them used left over scraps and good parts of old clothing. I made a small one when I was young and have thought about making one from old jeans for my kitchen. They were comfortable to stand on.
Great tutorial! I think I will put the batting in a bowl with a wooden spoon handle through the roll of batting and keep it on the floor next to the machine. I can not wait to try this!
The cool thing about the Kaffe is that it reads as blue and purple when you view it, but you could pull out pinks, greens from it to use in the rest of the room as well. The rainbow one is quite modern and would suit a completely different space. Thanks for the vid
Thank you! Thank you! I have extra fabric left over from a quilt I made for my sister's birthday (in March). Now I can make her a rug to match for Christmas...Lol
I've been working on one of these since early January. I'm still not finished with it for a couple of reasons. First of all it's the project I work on when I need a break from the regular sewing job I do every year for a friend. I work on his project for about 2 hours at a time, then I need to stand up and walk around and that's when I work on my rug. Also, I do all my sewing up on the 2nd floor our barn which is heated with kerosene heaters. It's been way too cold to even try to get the barn up to a comfortable temperature for me to work. And now I have the cat that showed up in our garage and had at least 5 kittens before I even knew she was there! If I didn't have all the other things going on, I probably could have made 3 rugs! I love them!
Thank you for the tutorial Jenny. Something that can be important for those who don't have a set in machine or perhaps even if you do is to take out from under the needle and iron after 2 or 3 rounds. Set your iron to the highest setting your fabric will take and iron the heck out of it. This will avoid any rolling in that can and did happen to me. If you think you have ironed too much iron a bit more. Because the pattern is protected you should support the pattern designer and purchase, there are specific starting measurements and more tips included. I LOVE mine and will make more. It is mindless and relaxing sewing that is welcomed.
Great job, Jenny! These can be tricky and your tip on how to start the strip was great. I never though of sewing down to the tapered end. For those who are complaining about what she didn’t show how to do this pattern is proprietary and she can’t show everything or no one would buy the pattern. I have made several and the pattern does have a few things you need to know.
Hello Jenny, I Crocheted rag rugs & t-shirt rugs to create similar rugs 💕 & these Jelly Roll Rugs are also so Beautiful 😁 💜 I am a Totally New Beginner to Quilting so I think this will be a later project to aim for 😋 if I were ever to get Jelly Rolls & the batting roll 😁 Erica x
Beautiful!! I’d like to get up the nerve to make the round one for my bathroom in black, red , white and gray !!! That would be so cool !! Thanks for the tutorial !!
@@vickyls8132 It's a plastic tool a bit like a belt buckle that you slide the strip through. It folds in the two sides and holds them so you fold the strip in half again and hold that part as you stitch it. You slide it down the long, long strip about 6 inches at a time at the machine as sew.
Thank you Jenny .. I just love your tutorials.. I have learned so much from you in the past few years.. I never get enough of your tutorials. Please keep doing them.
I get so much from watching you every week! Thank you for sharing sooooo much loveliness. But this video did suffer in the editing, as mentioned by other viewers.
My class made this rug and there were a lot of problems keeping it flat. Lots ended up piling books and magazines so the rug wasn't 'falling' but kept flat. You can even do half a jelly roll and sew it straight (meaning instead of going around just join it in lengths of straight strips) and turn it into a bag!
I've seen other videos where they actually tell viewers to get out all their sewing boojs and stack them aroubd their machines. I've tried twice to make ine of these, used the 'steam till cery damp' methid but have not been successful. I'm not wasting my fabrics to try another oval or round one. Instead, I'm making rectangular ones out of strips and putting binding around the rectangles on all sides.
Thanks for doing this tutorial video Jenny... You are right, even with the pattern, it's tough to see what you're meant to be doing. But with the visual tips, it's crystal clear. I think I know what my Mom is getting for her birthday this year from me! :-)
I'm kind of sad that part of the video was taken out. Fortunately I remember how you started it from the first time I watched it when it originally was posted.
Especially because the pattern is not very clear with the steps on how to fold and start the long strips with the batting. The way I did it worked, but so many of these tutorials are unable to show clear steps because of the pattern copyright, I think. I wish I lived closer to my mother or grandmother so they could show me clear steps for free! They never needed a pattern 🥰
What I’m wondering, as we all do is when you wash it and it wrinkles and shrinks as 100% cotton does...then what does the rug look like when it shrinks? Does it maintain it’s shape or does it turn cattywhompas? I love the round one!
The colors are beautiful! But may I make a suggestion? Maybe do more camera views from the top so we can see how you were folding the batting into the strips? For the most part I was able to follow along but that upper camera view comes in handy.
I zig zag my strips together when I make my own. The tape is another expence I just can't afford and maybe others can't either. Please explain this is an option, too. It works just as well. I also sometimes jyst butt tge battibg strips up to each other and it eorks just fine.
Tip: To make, sewing the Fabric and the Batting together easier on your self get a dry cleaning hang with the cardboard bar slip one end of the bar out slide your roll of Rug batting an your sewn together fabric roll on to the card board roll then put the cardboard end backbone the hanger hook the hander on something. Then you can sew without stop because both the batting and rug fabric rolls will roll as you sew them together. Easy peezy.
My friend puts dots of hot glue and it works. And you can wash but not dry. And it's clear so if someone flips it, they won't think it's weird or ugly. But I remember falling on those when I was little. 🤣😂
That's why they're called "scatter rugs" or "splatter rugs".....oops. Love the hot glue idea . There's also a "rubbery " grid product that can be cut to be a mat. I imagine it covered with dog hair at my house......ummmmm.
Considering the materials, I'd wash it the same way I would any of my quilts. Cold water, gentle cycle. And either delicate, low-heat dry, or line dry.
@@HosCreates A large work surface helps. If you're sewing in the right direction, all of your 'work' should end up on the outside, not bunched up under your machine. That should help. Make sure you've pressed/ironed your strips out, too, prior to sewing in the batting, so that they lay as flat and seamless as possible. It's not a beginner's sewing project, because you have to be comfortable enough to kind of free hand sew those strips with the batting inside, without pinning (I do this with bias tape when finishing a quilt because it's honestly easier than trying to pin it). And then again, holding it together with one hand and guiding it under the pressure foot, while sewing the strips together.
How do you start the strips with that point? How do you begin? How do you start those first tight turns so that it doesn't curl up? Exactly how do you fold?
I wish I could post a pic of my rug! I started, made 9 laps, admired that it WASNT A BOWL, then, I realized it was a kidney bean! It’s flat, but one side looks great and the other curves in! Any tips plz?!!! Love ALL your videos! I watch them all! Thx!
Hi, Vicky! Please send your pictures to our fine Customer Service crew at info@missouriquiltco.com. We've got some great quilters on staff that might be able to advise you!
People actually used to put batting on their walls and cover it with fabrics for warmth. Warm & natural came about as a drapery lining prior to double & triple pane windiws. I believe you can still get liners you can attach behind drapes, grommet top draoes and gathered top drapes/curtains.
Would the smaller oval rug wash well enough in a washing machine? Or would the quilting fabric just not survive as long with laundering every few months? Even though we don't wear outdoor shoes in the house we are still grubby people. Lol Might need to put it in a less used area of the room to keep it prettier and cleaner?
If I want a bigger rug would I buy 2 or 3 jelly rolls and go through each jelly roll one at a time following the same sequence repeating after each other? Hope this makes sense. I want my rug to be approximately 4’ x 6’
I loved making my first jelly roll rug. Can't wait to make the large round one. BTW, is the name of the quilt on the wall, Missouri Star? I couldn't find the pattern on the web site.
Hi, Catherine McCurdy! This is our Missouri Star Quilt. You can view the tutorial for it if you'd like by clicking on this link below. th-cam.com/video/i6ddFsZu7yo/w-d-xo.html
This morning I watched this video, and it had much more direction in tapering the beginning piece; also a great trick to starting the round colossal rug. That video disappeared on my favorites list, and those two steps are missing in this video. I have the pattern, but your video made so much more sense... is the original video out there somewhere?
I noticed that too. Doesn't show how to fold the batting in or how to start it tapered. I'm disappointed because I am interested in making one, but this tutorial missed that integral step🤔
I’m pretty sure they had to remove parts of the original video because they violated the pattern designer’s copyright when they gave away all the steps for free.
I know I commented on the video I watched this morning. And although my comments show up in my notifications, the video is gone. This one for sure has been edited. But Jenny did seem to give a lot more detail in her instructions than most other tutorials I’ve seen. Probably a violation of the designers instructions.
Yes, I noticed that too. I watched the video Friday morning and it showed how to fold and start the taper. PLEASE MSQC put the video tutorial back the original way. I am a visual person. The videos make more sense than reading patterns.
I can see one of these made out of one of those cute ME AND MY SISTER dotted or striped jelly rolls. It would be great right in front of the crib on top of wall-to-wall carpet in a baby's room,
А мы делаем гораздо проще... Обматываем верёвку кромками... И зиг-загом сшиваем.. Это можно делать одновременно.. Что экономит время! И плотно и добротно! Привет Джейн!!!
WOW So much easier than by hand. These would be great for in front of the sink, the bath tub or shower, and beside the bed. But ... just for fun ... and while it is good and clean ... drape it over the top bed on a bunk bed, a desk or sturdy table and let the kids use it as a tent. If you have a dog that is house broken and does not like to dig in the dirt ... it would make a great bed for them. (So now you know I love kids and animals.) Oh, be sure to send it out to be cleaned ... to much for home washers. ;)
These patterns are way too expensive, over $18 of you want both. Really intricate quilt patterns sell for $5. I don't understand how RJ Designs can justify this price for such a simple design.
Ha ha. They charge whatever the market will bear! They dont demo their design but have others doing vids while not allowing the presenters give out ALL the instructions bc they want you to buy the pattern to get it right. Pretty clever, huh? Check out all the vids and blogs to make a really good rug.

This tutorial is really helpful because I am going to make rugs for my newly remodeled guest bathroom.
We're so glad you found this tutorial helpful Marian Boncato! Be sure to let us know how it turns out.
Done! Love it. Needed more than one roll but i used cut up one. I think it came out cool
Thank you again Jenny! Love all your videos.
A great way to take left over strips to make a rug for my kitchen.
I got a sasher for the jelly roll and it is a great tool to have.
What is a sasher, if I may ask?
What’s that?

Thanks for the jelly roll rug tutorial. I did want to let you know that one jelly roll takes almost two rolls of the bonsal batting.
Yes, the rolls come in 25 and 50 yard packages.
Thanks so much Jenny - great instructions ! I'n new to your channel - but I am most certainly going to be a regular !
A W E S O M E ...... I want to make one so bad .... thank you ...love the round rug ...
Thank you. You make it look easy!
Thank you so very much! Starting mine today.

Looking forward to future video. I don’t see how to hide raw edges. Love your tutorials just finished the Zigzag quilt top. Cute!

I know from experience how slippery these will be. Better buy some of that non-slide stuff for the back!
That's a great idea, Debra! Thank you for sharing!

My friend puts dots of hot glue and it works. And you can wash but not dry. And it's clear so if someone flips it, they won't think it's weird or ugly. But I remember falling on those when I was little. 🤣😂

Is the rug washable. I would think it is but wonder if the strips would need to be prewashed?
You did not show how to start out,...like seems to seem or which side to start. Or how to finish the end?
the maker of the pattern she uses forbids showing those parts of assembly.
Loved this. What is a fan fold? Thank you.
Thanks!🌺🌸
Super‼️😍
What quilt is that behind you called please?

Nice! Now, if someone could just figure out how to make house siding out of jelly rolls. : O

What kind of thread did you use?
Why aren’t you starting from the beginning, first attaching?

Had to take all apart as it was a wavy cuddle fish...how do i sew it flat lol
I LOVE 😍😍😍😍😍
Grazie sei molto brava
Can a jelly roll rug be washed? I want to make one, but we live on a dusty/dirty ranch and area rugs have to be washed every couple months.

Maybe it would be a good idea to stitch some nonslip gripper on the back, so nobody slips on the rug.
Do you need a thicker needle such as a 16 to get through the layers?
I love the purple rug so much! Can you wash it in the clothes washer?
Nanna Liz you would need to take it to a laundromat where the machine are larger. It will not fit in a large home washer
Great video - thank you!!! If we were to make our own strips, they should be cut on the bias, correct? Love your rugs!!
No they are just cut the width of fabric like a Jelly roll is.
The strips are connected on the bias but cut via width.
These patterns are way too expensive, over $18 of you want both. Really intricate quilt patterns sell for $5. I don't understand how RJ Designs can justify this price for such a simple design.
cazzbird especially considering how much jelly rolls can be
Ha ha. They charge whatever the market will bear! They dont demo their design but have others doing vids while not allowing the presenters give out ALL the instructions bc they want you to buy the pattern to get it right. Pretty clever, huh?
Check out all the vids and blogs to make a really good rug.
Too expensive to buy all the jelly rolls, batting etc !
Great video. But I needed help with starting the center
Is it necessary to use the batting?
