How to Make a Jelly Roll Rug! Get it Super Flat without Ironing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ย. 2024
- A couple years ago we put out one of the first video tutorials on how to make a jelly roll rug and you guys went crazy for it. It has nearly 225,000 views and is one of our most popular videos of all time.
But we felt it was time for an update. First, you all HATED the music in the background. So this video only has music when I am just sewing and not when I am talking.
Second, I had some new tools to try out from Purple Hobbies to see if it would make the process any easier.
And third, I've made a BUNCH of these rugs since that first video, and I've got way more tips and tricks on how to keep it super flat without pressing the bejesus out of it only to have your lumps and bumps pop back up later to taunt you.
I know you all are still making these because we literally order the batting rolls for this almost every week, so I hope you enjoy this update.

Thank you for the tips! In addition to the ones shown, a few others I picked up along the way: apply spray sizing to the length of the strip of fabric as you are ironing the seams open, etc. (allow to the fabric strip to dry before assembly), place the bosal batting roll on a dollar store paper towel roll holder to allow it to feed easily and loved the Jerry Jelly Roll Jig with wonder clips during assembly. Did not have to iron once--laying nice and flat on my sewing room floor ever since! Enjoy :)
Fabulous! Thanks for sharing the extra tips!
@@QuiltAddictsAnonymous I would actually try to finagle the paper towel roll, mounted under the table somehow (straight right below -- maybe use a broom handle??... My PT holder has a strong magnet to hold the roll either standing up or sideways - I'd make it perpendicular to the floor, in front of my knees 🤔 holds onto the metal legs of the table... AND put the band of fabric, in a rectangle basket - the end fed up thru an open side handle, on the floor too! This may make it easier to keep both pieces of batt & fabric feed together straight into the machine... Less manipulation. All we can do is give it a try... This would be my version of an ideal set-up 😊
@@susanhenshaw639I am wondering about using a portable hose reel. Wind the long strip of fabric on one. And possibly use another reel for the wadding/batting. Then both reels wind as the fabric and batting come together for sewing
Risey is progressing nicely ❤❤❤
I just looked back at a video you did in October 2018. What a difference! I love the new look you're getting in your studio with all the white, better light, and more space. Nicely done
Thank you!
Great tutorial, thank you! I find it very refreshing that you give your honest opinion about everything and you pass along all the tips that you have learned.
You're welcome! I want you all to know when I really love something and when I think it is necessary to do a project right, verses would be nice to have.
I love that you made an extended table for your sewing machine to keep everything as flat as possible, so clever!
You did a great job on the tutorial. I especially like how you introduced new products and honestly said whether they would help you on the project. I like that you leave your mistakes and don't edit them out.
Thank you for showing us the dropped stitches and the "too thick" errors and what to do. Starting Sewers will automatically think they are doing something wrong and feel frustrated. Thank you. This is a project that I want to do in the near future, but I had no idea what was involved. I want to make rugs for inside my tent while camping, this looks like a great method.
I have had this pattern for a few years and heard so many complaints about it, that I never attempted it. I think this will be my year to give it ago. Thanks for your tutorial. I really makes this possible.
Had to laugh when you said about pressing the begesus out of the mat ,love your instructions!
Glad to give you a giggle as well as some assistance!
thanks very much for this, your problem solving was particularly helpful, it's good to know that everyone has their machine kick back at them from time to time.
I have made several JRR's but I always check for new videos, never know what you might learn. Right now I am making two runners in patriotic fabrics, one for my dining table and one for a table I have in the kitchen. I am making these WITHOUT batting and they are turning out great. I still have trouble on those curves but I stick with it and always love the results.
That is awesome!
I found when you put it on the floor and have it feed up instead of sideways it worked way better! 😊
Good tip!
Beautiful fabric great review of products and love your honesty.
I'm so glad I haven't "jumped in" to make one of these yet since now there are so many more tips, etc. out there. I did invest in a "Jerry's Jellyroll Jig" after seeing those demonstrated. Similar to this clip, just doesn't clip. Thank you so much for doing this to learn more :)
I had no luck with the jelly roll jig. A waste of money.
I was thinking the binding maker would work great for this. But I’m sure that is thinner then the batting would handle. Love the color choice you used. This seems to be a good kids project once you get it going. Great video. Thank you! Have a great day! 🌺
I like the thread cutter, thanks for the demo
Love your videos! Suggestion, I use a long piece of cardboard instead of the ball method you used, it has less or no twist and stays flat for the next step. Sincerely, Ms Karin
Great tip!
Great demo! Thanks for all the tips & hints!! I love the Jelly Roll that you used!
Do u know one time I made a smaller one and it was used for a hot pad!!! Yes you can make these for hot pads and it works amazingly. Thank you for all of your tips on this project.
Thats a fabulous idea! Thank you for following along!
Love this rug.
I loved the tutorial, thank you! I used to live in Freeport so not too far! Used to take the kids to Longview Park too. (I loved the music btw).
Thank you for putting this on a video your you tube channel.
I've discovered that stretching the batting just slightly and shooting it with steam, then folding the edges of the fabric/batting and steaming the folded strip as I clip it together makes the coil much easier to handle when sewing. Too true on using batting scraps: only the lightest weight cotton batting will work well (just bought a roll of QD cotton so there are more batting scraps to come.
Good suggestions thank you! My first one is a wavy roll ! That’s okay, I’m definitely going to try again w your tips
Great info
Maybe wind a few bobbins before you begin 🤔 This rug came out beautiful 😍 You did an awesome job on it!!
Very nice! Thank you for the tips. I have all of the supplies to make this, but have been too intimidated.
You can do it!
The folded corner clipper ruler from Creative Grids mad this process sew sew much faster. Worked great.
I think jelly roll is TM by Moda fabric, so important to not keep referring to other makes as jelly rolls throughout video. But a habit like saying hoover instead of vacuum.
This rug is beautiful 😊
Great video! Is there anyway to get your camera person to zoom in on your work? Would’ve been helpful for us “visual learner’s.”
It might be possible! Which parts in particular were you wanting to see more detail, so we know for future reference?
@@QuiltAddictsAnonymous I can't seem to figure out the easing. I may as well be making floppy hats 😂
I use a sasher. Did order pattern tho! 😁. Thanks for the turorial!
This is great
Great video! I have made a couple of placemats, and have had a little trouble catching the fabric on the underside. I discovered that the widest zigzag stitch my machine has is4.6mm. Do you think that will be an issue on a rug? I have been doing the stitch on the long strips in the middle....would it be better if I do it closer on the folded side? I have heard that makes it puffier.
I always use the stitch setting recommended in the pattern. I've had issues with the rug getting wavy if I choose anything else. Please refer to your pattern for the recommended stitch setting.
Stephanie, you briefly mentioned washing a jelly roll rug. Do they really hold up in the washing machine and dryer?
I just found your video about washing them.
@@susandalen7985 THAT comment was REALLY helpful to readers.😡
I’m wondering if you release the pressure on your presser foot, at the beginning, it may help get through the initial thickness?? Thanks for the video!
I’m a beginner sewer and I’m dying to make one of these for my kids rooms.
They are fun!
Nother thought... Why not put a large laundry basket on the opposite side of the table to catch the finished piece... Why roll it to cause more lumps, bumps and more work??
... Just a thought... If you put the products to sell (used in the video), not right behind your head as a distraction... it could be better viewed in full on the upper right quadrant of shelves with a framed, printed sign of item name(s) and link... 🤔
Great demo! How long did this one take you to finish?
Probably still about 8 hours. I don't think the tool saved any time, but if you struggled with getting the fabric and batting turned in, I think it is useful for helping with that step.
If the straight sides start to warp, what am I doing wrong?
How about using a hump jumper to get started initially?
Nice video. Do you have a video that shows shots from the sewing perspective? Above facing the machine with the first few steps of establishing the oval? Good luck I like how you incorporate feedback!
We don't but the pattern explains really well how to start the oval!
I am making a rug but not sewing the cord. I'm sewing the cord directly to the rug. Eliminating the sewing the cord end. Have you see a problem with this? Thanks
Same here. Works great with the 4 stitch zigzag for security.
I am trying this rug for the first time. I'm having trouble with skipped stitches. What am I doing wrong?
That happens to me too sometimes. You probably need a new jeans needle. But you can try rethreading the machine first and see if that helps.
Can’t find this particular jelly roll to purchase, page not found. Can you please share the name and any link for it? Thank you
What sewing machine do you have for your quilting projects
I am sewing on a Babylock Jubilant.
@@QuiltAddictsAnonymous I just bought the brilliant. However, I almost bought that one. I love your tutorial thank you for doing it
Please have completed my rug, but it waves, what can I do to fix it
I've had the ball made for several years but can't work up the energy or nerve to try to sew it. I haven't seen anyone make this rug without the wobbly part popping up so I doubt I'd be able to. Like you said, its an expensive rug and it's frustrating that it's so difficult to complete.
I had the same problem. I have the ball sitting in my closet. I made the rug, and the edges were very wavy. I actually took the entire thing apart and started again, trying to be extremely careful, but had just about the same result. I got very frustrated, and decided to chalk this one up to a bad (and expensive) experience. There are so many quilting projects that I've enjoyed, but this wasn't one of them. Maybe I'll get brave someday and try it again, but it's certainly not a priority. I did enjoy Stephanie's video, but this one is not for me.
We've all had those projects! If either of you decide to give it another go, I hope the tips here are helpful to get the best result possible.
Is it difficult to sew an 80 strip oval rug? I’m in the middle of sewing the tube at strip 37, I’m wondering if I should continue or stop at 40. Any thoughts or tips would be helpful. 😊 Thank you
I would stop whenever it become wavy or unmanageable
Hi, i have an ask: is it essecial put battind beetwen the stash? I haven’t this material in Brasil. So…..
thanks a lot.
Maybe you could use wider strips of fabric, and fold over more times to make the strips thicker.
Or use something else on the back, like a fleece/wool type blanket. Or old clothes cut into strips, that are similar thickness and not stretchy. Like clothes that are damaged or stained. A wool coat/suit/jacket/trousers, even from a second hand shop.
Здравствуйте,классный коврик!подскажите пожалуйста где купить katandin хлопок в рулоне?
What does easying in mean?
awesome tutorial...how long did it actually take...you mentioned something like 8 hrs for the older version and thot you sed something about this one taking less time...just planning my time...lol
How are you washing your rugs?
We did a video about washing the rugs a while back! You can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/BzOF0MHXR3c/w-d-xo.html
My machine is skipping stitches. I have re-threaded, changed the needle several times as well as the tension. Cannot figure this out!
Which machine are you using? And thanks for a great tutorial.
I can see it’s a babylock but wondering which one. 😊
I am sewing on a Babylock Jubilant.
How do you keep your rug from scalloping or curling on the edges?
It takes a lot of patience but this video explains what to do.
2:53 what is that tool called? Looks so useful
We always link products we use in the description, but it's the Jelly Roll Rug Binding Tool! You can buy it from us here: shop.quiltaddictsanonymous.com/?term&s=jelly+roll+rug+binding+tool&post_type=product&taxonomy=product_cat
Maybe wind a few bobbins before you begin 🤔
I have a walking foot and I have a flat table great thread and press and flatten and going very slow and yet it still waves. - curls omg. I watched your Chanel many time we all did and all our rugs have curl I give up
Hi Nicole! This happens to the best of us. Thats why we did a video on how to fix the rug if it is curling! You can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/BzOF0MHXR3c/w-d-xo.html
I'm about 7 rounds into sewing the rug and I can see that eventually I am going to have a problem with too much rug under the arm of the machine. Did I start wrong? What can I do to fix this? Thank you.
You need to flip it . Your fabric needs to feed in on the right and the rug goes out on the left
@@buyorsellwithmelaniewells Thanks so much. The ends were "cupping" so I just decided to rip out what I had done and start over. You should have seen the thread on the floor of my studio!!! I was ironing it almost every round so I don't know what was causing the cupping. Thanks for all your help!
@@primitiveseasons1 your welcome, I picked that up off another TH-cam video.
Thanks for answering this question! Mary, I hope you're rug is going better now! 😊
Where can I find the Full Moon strip roll?
The Full Moon strip roll is sold out. If you like the look of the neutrals, we are always on the look out for similar strip rolls, so keep an eye on our website or sign up for our emails so you know when new products arrive!
Have you made a double-sized one? I've tried but yikes the waves!!!!
No I haven't, but for that one I'd work at a large table, like your dining room table, and set a table up next to you to help hold the weight of the rug to keep it from flopping over as you work. Both tables should have books stacked on them to make them even to the height of the sewing machine. That should help keep the waves at bay.
@@QuiltAddictsAnonymous Thank you!
?!? Why a straight stitch when sewing the rug lengths together?? Wouldn't a zig zag stitch be better?? Otherwise there are hills and valleys in this rug... Is that the way it's supposed to be??
I can’t see what you are doing in the stitching. Are you sewing it closed? Toward the right side? I can’t see. All I see is the tool you’re talking about.
Maybe further into the video I’ll see what you’re doing.
Please...could you slow just a little down when you speak? I´m from Venezuela and have a little hard time to understand you....I´m 67 yo and learned English when I was 12....
This rug is a waste of money. cups/curls etc. I even did the rectangle one and had to rip it all out and do over. Still shaped like a banana. Yuck.
