WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO RID YOURSELF OF OVER ABUNDANCEAMOUNT OF FABRIC, AND RECEIVE HEALING AT THE SAME TIME

[@urbanfranko]

Mmmmm jelly roll. Sounds like a tasty pastry.

[@gfayecox]

Excellent video. Your are a great instructor. I’m going to make a rug for my kitchen.

[@marshawallace7522]

I have yet to make a jelly roll rug but saw one at my longarmer's home and I love it and want to make one OR more. I only watched a couple tutorials so far and found yours very informative. THANK you❣️

[@marycannon6046]

This is an AWESOME class! Thank you!

[@16gabbys]

Came here from TikTok and excited

[@amylee6019]

I just signed up for the may class I’m sew excited 🎉

[@SewingPartsOnline]

So exciting!!

[@marshawallace7522]

How did you like the class? I am just looking into making these.

[@angelalarratt6843]

I made myself a table out of MDF and little legs

[@evelynwerker9402]

Great video, would love to indent fly the strange noises in background, I have made several rugs already but would like to make more at least one for every season, the hardest thing for me was the beginning and the finishing, thanks 😊for jump starting me to do more.

[@lisastavinoha5952]

I believe it was a peacock. 🤷‍♀️

[@stacybishop7088]

I think different machines call for a specific thread weight. I have Babylock, and the manual says to use 60 weight thread.

[@JudyLegere]

I am really intrigued about the jelly roll rugs.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

They're great because you can finish them up quickly! Perfect for when you want to work on a project that can be finished in a day or 2!

[@deannalebedz851]

Excellent video and tips. Thanks

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Glad it was helpful!

[@juliaharris1455]

thank you for the video. I didn’t even know about jelly roll rugs until today May 1 and I liked your video. It explained a lot and it explained that I did not have to buy the jelly roll tool after seeing how you did it it but the other thing I was wondering was the knee extension tool what is the exact name of it?

[@bonniewinner3087]

so glad I found your class for this pattern.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Amanda is a talented Jelly Roll maker and educator! We're glad she did this for us!

[@evelynmcartor2265]

I'd like to make 15" pads for my dining room chairs and was wondering how many jelly rolls I would need to make 6? Is there a yardage estimator tool available anywhere?

[@babszollak2512]

Thank you for all the information! It would be nice to see the difference between sewing the strip in the middle and the edge and see how it would look using the two different methods. Maybe on your ticktok channel?

[@cleme2558]

Love your earrings

[@user-yl6mu5lq5r]

Love jelly roll rug

[@SewingPartsOnline]

So much fun!!

[@elaineniewiecki2626]

I am making my second (oval) jelly roll rug and on the 10th to 12th round it is wavy. I have steamed and pressed it which did not seem to help. Question is when seeing the next round shall I pull the fabric I am sewing a little? Would this help? Thank you

[@brendamullins-we3kl]

How do you sew your fabric together? I have seen it done two different ways.

[@monicamulder6903]

Do you have a tutorial starting the begging on the rug. I am really worried about the starting the rug. Thank you

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Amanda is joining us for our livestreaming event on September 15th! She'll be doing another Jelly Roll Rug tutorial! We'd be happy to ask her to show the beginning of the rug during her class! Event page on Facebook: facebook.com/events/1034242851258332

[@monicamulder6903]

Do you know what time she will be doing the tutorial? I work on Fridays. Thank you Monica @@SewingPartsOnline

[@monicamulder6903]

We’re can I find your classes?

[@craz4mom]

Do you find you have better control with the fabric as you start the rug when you stitch the tube in the middle. I have only done 2 rugs and am looking to do 2 more after summer family visitations - I have purchased the walking foot after slight waffling in my first rugs. Your video is fabulous - thankyou!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Amanda was a featured educator during one of our events and might not see this comment. I recommend reaching out to her on Facebook! She's happy to help you out :) Her Facebook page: facebook.com/uniquelymateo

[@mamaferryman1]

I wonder if I can’t lay it out flat on the floor and make the rug and pin it like mom did her quilts.

[@Gypsyditzy]

Can I sew one. By hand?😂

[@liltorchapache6496]

I was wondering the same but was thinking it would take a year to make a small rug 😄

[@mamaferryman1]

I’m getting a bowl on the ends. I am trying to feed extra nd m using my walking foot but it’s not pulling through and I have to push it to move. I do t know what is wrong that it’s not moving through the walking doot

[@SewingPartsOnline]

If you have Facebook, you can find Amanda here: facebook.com/uniquelymateo She teaches Jelly Roll Rug virtual classes for $10 and I'm sure she'd be totally willing to help you with some tips and tricks!

[@user-gu6nl5he1n]

How do you do the first bend

[@mrscurtisloew6260]

I shape my first bend in the shape of a "nine"

[@pamstoker8614]

I’m a beginner’s beginner…I have a walking foot however I was told I could not zigzag with it🤷‍♀️

[@SewingPartsOnline]

You can zigzag with a walking foot unless it only has a straight-stitch needle hole. Some manufacturers recommend that you don't back stitch with them. 😉

[@FloweryPrint]

was going to watch You UNTIl the CLAW Hand. ! Ridiculous !

[@nevadepew3300]

I'm unable to get sound on this video. Tried everything I could but unsuccesful.

[@ander5144]

I dont like the design and colors used
