I'm decided just last night to make a lap quilt for my 90 year old MIL for Christmas. Today I was looking for videos about cutting a lot of fabric into jellyroll strips at once, and yours was the most helpful! Then I can apply the same technique to cut them into 6 inch strips. Your thoughtful instruction is going to save me so much time! Wishing you a happy holiday season.

Thank you for the awesome step-by-step guidance. Still a beginner here - I also place a handweight on top of my ruler to keep it from moving. (I learned that trick from another online video.)

[@sewandquiltwithaprilsawtelle]

You’re welcome thanks for watching! The hand weight sure does help. Thanks for commenting 😊

I learn a lot I have b trouble keeping my fabric straight

[@sewandquiltwithaprilsawtelle]

It can be so hard it just takes lots of practice. Thank you for watching . It will get easier. 😊

I just came across your video on cutting strips and I would love to know what brand cutting mat your smaller one is. Even though I am still able to quilt, my eyes are problematic and have difficulty sometimes seeing the edge of my dark fabric when I place it on my dark cutting mat and I have been looking for one that is dark on one side and white on the other like yours is. Please help me!

[@sewandquiltwithaprilsawtelle]

My cutting mat is a Fiskcars . I bought it at Walmart. I believe when I bought it that it came in a kit with 3 pieces, a mat, a rotary cutter, and a clear 2 1/2 inch by 18 inch ruler. I think I paid around $25.00 for it. Thank you for watching! 😊❤️

How important was the first fold

[@sewandquiltwithaprilsawtelle]

Hi Kelly The reason I have the first fold and a second fold is because my ruler wasn’t long enough, so I folded again so it would fit under my ruler. I was cutting yardage. If your cutting just say a jelly roll, then it probably won’t be necessary to fold it unless your working with a smaller ruler. I hope this was helpful. Thank you for watching! 😊
