Erica, you are the only fabric tutorial I have been able to watch all the way through. Most people infuriate me with excessive information in all directions, but you stayed focused and very straight forward. This is how I would have taught myself. LOL Thank You!
I've been sewing for 50 years, and I think a rug is about the only thing I haven't made. I'm definitely going to try this. This video was really informative and well done.
me too long time career in alterations/tailoring...etc... making quilts now... but today I saw this quilt and what they sell for... I got to make one now
gosh, I don't understand why there are over a thousand "thumbs down" for this wonderful tutorial. she was very detailed. easy to understand. made it look so easy!! I would LOVE to make one of these rugs …. because I watched this video. good grief, negative people!!!
I thought the same thing. I often think what sad, miserable lives these people must lead when they have nothing better to do than to put a negative comment or a thumbs down on a tutorial meant to help people do something or make something, especially as clear and well presented as this tutorial is. I doubt they even watched it- just going from video to video leaving a thumbs down. Wish RUclips would crack down on people who leave too many negatives or at least limit the number you can leave in a given time to discourage these trolls, but I doubt that will happen. Makes me feel bad for the creators of such helpful content. Great tutorial! Looking forward to seeing more.
Unfortunately, people will always be negative when they don't get exactly what they want. I imagine instead of appreciating the wonderful tutorial we've been gifted, those people decided to be upset that she didn't provide details from a pattern that wasn't hers to share. Because they're children. Who want to act like brats.
Of all the sewing video’s on RUclips, your channel is one of my favorites. Your quilts and projects are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for the inspiration.
You are so right! I don't leave down thumbs but I'm pretty stubborn about video content. I hate presenters who haven't planned a presentation, ones who apologize for various failings, ones who drone on about their hubbies, kids, or pets (we are your students/clients, not your friends!), and ones who appear as if they just tumbled out of bed. I guess that eliminates a LOT of presenters but that's how we get the good ones. One day, I expect, we won't have every Tom, Dick, and Henrietta blathering on (badly). We will, hopefully, have the best, the professionals who teach, not everyone who wastes our time flipping through videos to learn what we wanted to learn in the first place. Btw, this young lady is a fine presenter. Thumbs down ppl must not like blondes. NO reasonable explanation otherwise!😏
Excellent video! I took a class on this years ago and gave up, but your clear, detailed explanations have inspired me to start again and get a rug done! Thank you! You are an excellent presenter- focused, organized, giving options and explaining everything clearly! Also bravo to the camera work showing details!
I have a longarm business and end up with LOTS of leftover batting scraps (especially long strips). Now I know what to do with them! Great tutorial and I LOVE your sewing room.
Great tutorial. My granddaughter is coming over to make this rug this evening and staying through Sunday afternoon. I’m glad I found this tutorial. Thank you so much for making it 👑
It's a Saturday morning, I'm thumbing through RUclips and I come upon this jelly roll tutorial. I don't do rugs but I'm drawn in by two things. The cabby chic look of the rug and the refreshing delivery of the instructors directions. She's quick, without losing us. The instructions are clear. The finished product makes me want to whip up a jelly roll rug right now. Thanks. Another project I shouldn't be doing but will love.
Erica, I appreciate how you stayed on the subject matter...that helped me to focus on your instructions and not ‘break the spell,’ lol. Thanks so much!
I remember my grandma used to make these for their home by hand, wish I learned more stuff from her while she was still alive. Great to see this tutorial on RUclips
Same. I watched my grandma make rugs with cloth strips. I can’t really remember exactly how she did it but they were wonderful. Thick and laid flat. Nice to stand on.
I haven't seen in many years but this tutorial make me want to start again. I thought this was a great tutorial . Easy to follow and understand. Thanks
My mom is a quilter, and I always want her to teach me how to sew....anything!! This tutorial actually made me think I might be able to?? I LOVED this rug!!! Thank you for making it look so easy!!!
Love your tutorial. Like someone said before, you stick to the subject, making it so much easier to follow directions. Tutorials are not the place for a family history, no matter how interesting. Thank you for this. I’m going to go cut some strips and experiment. ❤️
Beautiful rug. My great aunt used to have them around her home. I loved them when I would visit her. This reminds me of a special part of my childhood. Thank you for sharing! 😘
I have been wanting to make a jelly roll rug for years but was afraid I would make mistakes and end up with a mess. Thank goodness for this young lady and her excellent job of explaining every step. I am thrilled to be sewing my first jelly roll rug! KUDOS young lady!!!!!
I am definitely going to make this. I have all the supplies especially to do this. She made it looks easy and gave good tips. I'm anxious to get started
❤loved how precise and methodical the directions were, as well as the photography showing exactly how it’s done. I took a class to make a jelly roll blanket a couple of years ago and was overwhelmed by the steps that were counterintuitive to me like cutting on the diagonal, sewing all the strips together WITHOUT cutting between each one…and the repetitive- ness. I didn’t bother to make the blanket. This was very refreshingly done and making the whole process so much more manageable for me. It made sense…but now I need a rug. So I’m hung-ho again. Great job! Thanks 👏🏼
When she says pattern what does she mean. Cause I too was taught an a pattern in my head is somthing that's been around for years lol. I could be completely wrong
My grandma taught me many things, to sew, knit crochet bake by hand not in a mixer and to make the best flat cakes out of bread, miss her so much, she left me with so many happy memories, bless her 🙏🏼😢💕🌹💐
I luuuve this tutorial! How refreshing that the instructor isn’t harping about keeping measurements to the 10th of an inch. Quilting should be fun, and her attitude keeps the student from being intimidated. That’s what seam rippers are for-doesn’t work? Tear it out and fix it. No fear! You are mistress of your project.
The rug is sooo pretty. What a great tutorial. Very clear on the directions and tips. I would love to make one of these rugs. You could make it pretty, or really country or scrappy. Limitless possibilities.
I am so happy I found your channel and I have been binge watching it like Netflix today. This video is helping me immensely with making my jelly roll rug. I am new to quilting and have been on the struggle bus with reading the pattern. I am more of a visual learner and this tutorial is a god send! Thank you!
This is a great video. It is well presented, and clear on the details. I've never wanted to make a rug, in fact I've not particularly liked them, but this looks great. I am going to make one. Thank you for your tutorial.
Nice tutorial, thank you. I appreciate you obtaining permission from someone else's pattern. So many bloggers don't have that kind of courtesy and it is very appreciated!
Just purchased Roma's pattern for her jelly roll rug. This is the first time I've done a project such as this. Erica, you did a wonderful job on your tutorial. Very easy to follow and understand. Thank you so much!
Erica....you are extremely good at explaining and demonstrating what to do and how to do it....I don't subscribe often but I'm subscribing to your channel...I look forward to watching more of your videos.....
After seeing this tutorial a week ago, I was able to buy the roll of batting in a 50 yard package. I bought 2 of them, not realizing how much was on each roll until I got home. I also bought Roma's pattern. So I have enough for 2 rugs! YAY! I might make one for my sister. She doesn't sew and will be amazed when I tell her I made it. I also have 2 jelly rolls I bought on sale that I didn't need at the time. I'm so happy I bought them! I'm a new subscriber to your channel as of right now!
I took a jelly roll rug class several years ago and made a lovely rug. But I've forgotten some of the techniques. This tutorial was just THE ticket! She helped me remember EVERYTHING from my class, including some of the things to watch out for. Will be making another one as soon as the weather keeps me from going outside during my second Covid winter. Looking forward to sewing again! 9/8/2020
I was intimated by this beautiful project once I purchased my jelly roll. No more though. Thank you for your wonderful tutorial. I feel much more confident now about doing this and helping a group of young students make one too.
Problem solved; Use a paper towel holder with a roll of paper towels on it. Wind you sewn strips around and around the paper towel, being careful not to twist. Use a laundry basket that has holes in the side to pass a rod through (like a broom handle, or mop handle) Pass the pole through the laundry basket, in one side and out of the other. This pole will hold your paper towel roll.
I always liked those rugs in the 70's, but I wasn't crazy about the colors. Your rugs were really cute. This was inspirational, giving me some ideas for my next apartment.
Oh my gosh, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this tutorial!! Definitely going to try this very soon. Thanks so much for the awesome video and explaining it in a way that makes it look doable even for someone who's new to quilting. ❣️
I just finished my first jelly roll rug. I didn't use a jelly roll and made it smaller than the pattern size. I used a different approach as I didn't know how much fabric I was going to use of each color. It was a learn and sew as you go. I love my rug...want to make two more. You have the best sewing/quilt channel. Thank you, Lynne
More than a year ago I made one in Australia for my eldest daughter. And later in England for my second daughter. And than one in Germany for my wonderful neighbor. Now I'm busy in South Africa for myself. Thanks it's always fun 😍😉
@@williamchapman2371 actually not. My family is unfortunately spread all over the world and I need the physical contact. While I'm there I share my love to handcrafted things. I even got one of my daughters hooked on it. For now unfortunately corona got in the way
Hello Ma'am, I am from India and love to see when you teach all the techniques of sewing with details. I like this video very much and am thankful for the possibilities you explained while teaching this project rug... Love and care...!!!
great lesson, your sewing room is so pretty and your hair is gorgeous! I braided wool rugs about 35 years ago, dyed the wool also, never thought I'd be doing this again. Thanks for the inspiration. New subscriber!
Hi! Couldn’t sleep tonight and stumbled across your channel and this video! Omgosh!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial and am so very inspired to make this beautiful, happy looking rug! Thank you very much for going to the trouble and the time to teach us how to sew this! Blessings to you and your awesome channel!!!
This was absolutely mesmerizing I've always wanted to quilt I'm afraid to pick up a new craft since I have an addiction to crocheting and Yarn these are so beautiful I wouldn't want to stand on them
Love the tutorial. They do make a very nice tip that you can use that actually turns the fabric in for you so you don’t have to use all the clips. What a GREAT tutorial though and I LOVE how detailed this was and thank her for this great video 💞💞💞
I am not at all sure why I was having a problem starting my rug. I thought I was confused, but apparently I had it right all along. Thank you for teaming up with Roma to do this tutorial. Can't wait to get started on my rug...turquoise, orange and black batiks to match the quilt I'm making for my son and daughter-in-law.
Your video is very good. I did a jelly roll rug and love the way it turned out. My jelly roll rug was from Maywood Studio and the colour was BOUNTIFUL.
Thank you, this was a great video. I recently purchased the Sailrite Deluxe Fabricator industrial sewing machines to repair our houseboat canvases, do a new rear deck enclosure, and to make deck canvases here at our homestead/mini-farm. I heard about jelly roll rugs and thought they would be a great addition to our sustainable house remodel; my old art studio. David and I are both artisans, so everything in this house is 100% handmade. My new Sailrite machine will sew the jelly roll tubes with ease and accuracy. I'm going to experiment with it and attempt a bit of a twist; overlapping the strips and connecting them with a straight stitch, instead of a zigzag stitch. Fun abounds!
So inspired! This might solve the 'what to do for my sister's birthday' problem. Thinking of table mats for her dining table in her new house. Desert colors. She has neighborhood ladies over often and likes to mix and match bright napkins and placemats. A couple bowl cozies made to fit her serving bowls. A round mat under the glass art piece in the center. She is IMPOSSIBLE to figure out a gift for. A couple yrs ago I gave her the "walking doll" she got as a child back to her with the clothes mother made for it. All 3 of my big sisters got one but the other two were younger and wore theirs out. I ended up with hers. I protected it so carefully for 6 decades. I had most of the clothes Mom made for the 3 dolls. One wore red, one green, the third blue. I even had her underwear. Her shoes were lost to time, tho. She sat in my late son's little rocking chair until her hair decided to unglue from her head. We couldn't get her little houndstooth beret (matched her cape) to cover the creepy dearth of hair. It was a hit as a surprise for my big sister!
Bet I can find a jelly roll of fabric in just the right colors, too. My brain is ready to run but it's 1:50 AM so I guess I'll just dream about it for a while.
Oh wow, adorable Erica!!! Also love how you told us your sewing machine make and models as well as your table. And looooooove your sewing room!!! I have made the one you tie with scraps that was fun way back in the 1980s - I am putting this on my list just too cute! Thank you for sharing!!! 💗🎄💗
Loved this tutorial. Very helpful. I. Had previously watched a different channel and they failed to show how to do the folds, which left me lost before I started. Thank you😊
No that's her sewining room. She said it in beginning. She also said she would share the info she could. If she gave every detail about pattern that was created by someone else. She made contact with them first and gave her limited permission. It's a rug not rocket science. The amazon bundle I do believe comes with pattern and 2 batting roll. I have jelly rolls and enough fabric to make my own.
Even so you can do what I have Done is take a bookshelf( billys IKEA) with seethrough Doors and have my fabrics on those shelves sorted by colours like 2-3 colours on each shelf like pink on the left red in the middle and orange/yellow on the right depending on how much you have. and then I have seasonal fabrics in one or two seethrough plastic bins. And on the bottomshelf I have smaller bins for the crumbs and they are also colour spesific like I have around 10 2-4 litre bins for my crumbs. Having everything sorted by colour and seasonal helps a lot. But if you have a lot of panels, charm packs or jellyrolls you might need a seperate display for that. Having everything in seethrough storage helps a lot for me to feel inspired and makes it easy to find what I need.
Hi... Great tutorial. My mom sews handbag handles and she has told me rather than using denim needles she uses thick microtex needles, the sharper point apparently makes a huge difference.... just thought i'd let you know
Great instruction and helpful tips too! When you mentioned about changing your needle for heavier fabric it may also be useful to loosen the presser foot tension so that it can feed through more easily. Thank you for sharing your experience -- the rug turned out awesome!
I just made one jelly roll rug for my sewing room. It was a really fun project. I love the look of vintage picnic made up. I may need to make another one in vintage picnic material. I just love the pop of red in the rug.
This is a great tutorial, thank you so much. I did find that the way you have your tube laid the way you do is best, with the puffy side out because it stays flatter. Beautiful and informative as always 💗
I have watched this about a 1000 times. I am a beginner and am having a hard time with the pattern instructions, particularly going around the curve. Watching your video has really helped me! Thanks!
Wonderful tutorial! While I was watching I thought to myself....Boy! Is this easier than the huge rag rug I am tying by hand! This will be my next project!
If it's possible not to have to resort to the CC that's always preferable, since the auto-generated subtitles are often wrong and even if they're right, it's hard to learn from a video tutorial when you're forced to read the captions instead of watching the demonstrations.
This is my first time tuning in to you. First time I’ve seen/ heard of you. I love the rug n plane to make several. I’m curious as to the barn quilt you have hanging behind you. I’m obsessed w barns, cows n country, have been all my life, it’s the farm girl in me. Any who who, I would love to know what pattern the Barn Quilt is. Thank you.
I used this tutorial to make my very first Jelly Roll Rug. I bought the jelly roll but had to cut the batting myself since I couldn't find any precut in the local stores. Mine didn't turn out perfect because I was just practicing the techniques she was showing in the video so I wasn't matcing up coloured threads or being as precise but it still turned out really well. I plan to make another one now that I know how and will be sure to match up threads and colours. Thanks for such a great tutorial!
Thank you for the video, it was well detailed. One tip I would have is to not have the background music, very difficult to hear when this music is going.
Wow! This is a GREAT tutorial! Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how it's done! You make it look so easy! Hopefully, someday, I can make one of these rugs as well!!!
Oh my gosh; I never even imagined doing this. What a wonderful idea for a project. I’m so amazed. Erica, you have got to be one of the most amazing and talented people. You also never seemed stressed lol. God bless you and your beautiful family ❤❤gayle
Erica, you are the only fabric tutorial I have been able to watch all the way through. Most people infuriate me with excessive information in all directions, but you stayed focused and very straight forward. This is how I would have taught myself. LOL Thank You!

I thought the SAME thing! What is there not to like?! I think they have to be people trolling.
When I see such nonsense, I feel that silly people do such a ridiculous thing when they are bored, or mean, or both!

Well, this may not sound very nice about these trolls but, "You Can't fix Stupid!" Or they are JEALOUS because she is BOTH beautiful AND talented!!
I have stuck a seam ripper into a spool of thread, leaving sharp side up and used it like your nifty thread cutter. Worked well.
Of all the sewing video’s on RUclips, your channel is one of my favorites. Your quilts and projects are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for the inspiration.
After watching (1/2 way through), I find her style lovely. Clear, easy instructions. Very articulate. And her peaceful demeanor is enticing.
Look at more of her videos. They’re all great
You are so right! I don't leave down thumbs but I'm pretty stubborn about video content. I hate presenters who haven't planned a presentation, ones who apologize for various failings, ones who drone on about their hubbies, kids, or pets (we are your students/clients, not your friends!), and ones who appear as if they just tumbled out of bed.

I am not at all sure why I was having a problem starting my rug. I thought I was confused, but apparently I had it right all along. Thank you for teaming up with Roma to do this tutorial. Can't wait to get started on my rug...turquoise, orange and black batiks to match the quilt I'm making for my son and daughter-in-law.
Your video is very good. I did a jelly roll rug and love the way it turned out. My jelly roll rug was from Maywood Studio and the colour was BOUNTIFUL.
Thank you so much, that was super clear and I can't wait to get started! I love the color pattern of your rug!
Thank you, this was a great video. I recently purchased the Sailrite Deluxe Fabricator industrial sewing machines to repair our houseboat canvases, do a new rear deck enclosure, and to make deck canvases here at our homestead/mini-farm. I heard about jelly roll rugs and thought they would be a great addition to our sustainable house remodel; my old art studio. David and I are both artisans, so everything in this house is 100% handmade. My new Sailrite machine will sew the jelly roll tubes with ease and accuracy. I'm going to experiment with it and attempt a bit of a twist; overlapping the strips and connecting them with a straight stitch, instead of a zigzag stitch. Fun abounds!
Thanks so much from Edmonton Alberta Canada! Love your easy to follow tutorial, so looking forward to making these rugs for my new Garden Suite!
So inspired! This might solve the 'what to do for my sister's birthday' problem. Thinking of table mats for her dining table in her new house. Desert colors. She has neighborhood ladies over often and likes to mix and match bright napkins and placemats. A couple bowl cozies made to fit her serving bowls. A round mat under the glass art piece in the center. She is IMPOSSIBLE to figure out a gift for. A couple yrs ago I gave her the "walking doll" she got as a child back to her with the clothes mother made for it. All 3 of my big sisters got one but the other two were younger and wore theirs out. I ended up with hers. I protected it so carefully for 6 decades. I had most of the clothes Mom made for the 3 dolls. One wore red, one green, the third blue. I even had her underwear. Her shoes were lost to time, tho. She sat in my late son's little rocking chair until her hair decided to unglue from her head. We couldn't get her little houndstooth beret (matched her cape) to cover the creepy dearth of hair. It was a hit as a surprise for my big sister!
Bet I can find a jelly roll of fabric in just the right colors, too. My brain is ready to run but it's 1:50 AM so I guess I'll just dream about it for a while.
Oh wow, adorable Erica!!! Also love how you told us your sewing machine make and models as well as your table. And looooooove your sewing room!!! I have made the one you tie with scraps that was fun way back in the 1980s - I am putting this on my list just too cute! Thank you for sharing!!! 💗🎄💗
Loved this tutorial. Very helpful. I. Had previously watched a different channel and they failed to show how to do the folds, which left me lost before I started. Thank you😊
I am jealous of your sewing room. My stuff is in bins in a closet, always a chore to find what I need.
Fairly certain she was in a fabric/craft store where this was taped. What's behind her in bins is probably part of the store's fabric inventory.
No that's her sewining room. She said it in beginning. She also said she would share the info she could. If she gave every detail about pattern that was created by someone else. She made contact with them first and gave her limited permission. It's a rug not rocket science. The amazon bundle I do believe comes with pattern and 2 batting roll. I have jelly rolls and enough fabric to make my own.
Even so you can do what I have Done is take a bookshelf( billys IKEA) with seethrough Doors and have my fabrics on those shelves sorted by colours like 2-3 colours on each shelf like pink on the left red in the middle and orange/yellow on the right depending on how much you have. and then I have seasonal fabrics in one or two seethrough plastic bins. And on the bottomshelf I have smaller bins for the crumbs and they are also colour spesific like I have around 10 2-4 litre bins for my crumbs. Having everything sorted by colour and seasonal helps a lot. But if you have a lot of panels, charm packs or jellyrolls you might need a seperate display for that.
Having everything in seethrough storage helps a lot for me to feel inspired and makes it easy to find what I need.
Огромное спасибо! Теперь сделаю для внучки такой же коврик!!! Примите благодарность за идею и мастер-класс! Творческих успехов!
Hi... Great tutorial. My mom sews handbag handles and she has told me rather than using denim needles she uses thick microtex needles, the sharper point apparently makes a huge difference.... just thought i'd let you know
Thanks for the tip!
Laura Van Der Merwe á
Wonderful tutorial for those who know how to sew! I am soon to be a grandma and this is working wonders for me:) Thank you again!
this is gorgeous. I need to make me and my mom one
She is easy to listen to and gives great tips and references to products and makers
So beautiful. Your hair is lovely❤️
This looks so simple yet so intricate. I have a new granddaughter and am going to give it a try😊
That’s beautiful. I don’t know if I’d want folks stepping all over it. ❤️😊
Laura Llama, it would definitely have to go in the guest room. Lol
I'd probably beat'em half ta deff if they stepped on it, all that cutting and sewing yeah that goes in guest room with no guest 🙄😲😬😳
Agreed! I’d hang this art piece on the wall. ❤️🥰
Laura Llama definitely a no shoes rule! 😋
Great instruction and helpful tips too! When you mentioned about changing your needle for heavier fabric it may also be useful to loosen the presser foot tension so that it can feed through more easily. Thank you for sharing your experience -- the rug turned out awesome!
Great tip!
I've been wanting to make one of these for such a long time, thank you for sharing!!!
Excellent lesson. You are very thorough and easy to understand. Thanks.
Where can I find the farm quilt hanging on the wall behind you? LOVE IT! Thank you for the tutorial and tips for this project. Very helpful.
Thank you for this tutorial. I have now the confidence to purchase the pattern and have a go!
Made my first one. Couple of things for my next one, iron frequently, wind six or seven bobbins, make sure to have a couple spools of your thread.m
I need to say your English speaking is so simply i love it I don't need translate to understand it! Kisses from Argentina 💋
I just made one jelly roll rug for my sewing room. It was a really fun project. I love the look of vintage picnic made up. I may need to make another one in vintage picnic material. I just love the pop of red in the rug.
What is vintage picnic material and where do I get it?
This is a great tutorial, thank you so much. I did find that the way you have your tube laid the way you do is best, with the puffy side out because it stays flatter. Beautiful and informative as always 💗
Очень красиво!!! Умница,красавица и рукодельница!!!💕💐
You are an excellent teacher, and your rug is beautiful! I’m not a sewer, (would like to be) but I so enjoyed your video! Thank you 😊👍
Хоть я и не знаю английского,но было всё понятно.Красивый коврик получился.👍🏼
I have watched this about a 1000 times. I am a beginner and am having a hard time with the pattern instructions, particularly going around the curve. Watching your video has really helped me! Thanks!
Coronavirus has hit and this is the first quilt I'm going to complete for a granddaughter. I have plenty to do being shut in. How about you?
Still in lock down after 12 months.... Without my sewing room.... I don't know what I would have done..... How are you doing now?
Wonderful tutorial! While I was watching I thought to myself....Boy! Is this easier than the huge rag rug I am tying by hand! This will be my next project!
Nice rug the color of the rug r my favorite
Great Tutorial Erica. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you make the rug.
I love your demo and info. The music competes with you. For us with hearing impairments it was over the top.
Sorry, I"ll try to keep the music lower next time :)
Use the CC.
If it's possible not to have to resort to the CC that's always preferable, since the auto-generated subtitles are often wrong and even if they're right, it's hard to learn from a video tutorial when you're forced to read the captions instead of watching the demonstrations.
The incessant typing was annoying too.
Why such repetitious music. To me that is more annoying than the volume of it. Sorry, other than that, I enjoyed it, but I can't watch again.
Great tutorial. I LOVE the rug you already made and your sewing room. I need to declutter . You have inspired me.
This is my first time tuning in to you. First time I’ve seen/ heard of you. I love the rug n plane to make several. I’m curious as to the barn quilt you have hanging behind you. I’m obsessed w barns, cows n country, have been all my life, it’s the farm girl in me. Any who who, I would love to know what pattern the Barn Quilt is. Thank you.
Links for the quilt on the wall are in the description box above. Just click 'show more' and then scroll down past the supply list :)
Thank you Erica. I enjoyed learning how to make a Jelly Roll Rug. I am now inspired to make one as your explanation was very clear and easy to follow.
Parabéns! Linda peça e ótima explicação. Verei se aqui no Brasil fabricam esse rolo com os tecidos. Grata, abço
Não entendo nadica de nada qe essa porra fala kkkkkkk
I used this tutorial to make my very first Jelly Roll Rug. I bought the jelly roll but had to cut the batting myself since I couldn't find any precut in the local stores. Mine didn't turn out perfect because I was just practicing the techniques she was showing in the video so I wasn't matcing up coloured threads or being as precise but it still turned out really well. I plan to make another one now that I know how and will be sure to match up threads and colours. Thanks for such a great tutorial!
Thank you for the video, it was well detailed. One tip I would have is to not have the background music, very difficult to hear when this music is going.
Wow! This is a GREAT tutorial! Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how it's done! You make it look so easy! Hopefully, someday, I can make one of these rugs as well!!!
I’m getting so into these crafts now that I’ll be home, for a while...🙄🙄🙄.
Eu Kero ganhar esse. Kiti por favor eu sou apaixonada pela fábrica jordam eu assisti muito vídeo daí por dá um kit pra mim
Eu moro em Paranapuã sp
Oh my gosh; I never even imagined doing this. What a wonderful idea for a project. I’m so amazed. Erica, you have got to be one of the most amazing and talented people. You also never seemed stressed lol. God bless you and your beautiful family ❤❤gayle
This is perfect for my cat to lay on , when he watches me sew in my sewing room. He usually lays on the fabrics 🙄 will try it with my scraps.
This was so great. Really pretty project, the end result is great and your video was excellent - clear and informative. Thanks for sharing
Add a piece of painters tape on your machine bed to mark the diagonal. No guessing.
I love your jelly roll rug.Pretty colors.
