Very helpful instruction and tips. I noticed you rolled from one end. Does that mean I should not roll back and forth? Thank you and God bless.

Hi there, just wondered if you can remember where you got the super rolling pin with the revolving handles? All the ones I can find are far to small!

Great video I learned a lot!! Am I the only American who watch this video repeating most of the words she said in a British accent the entire time or am I the only one?

[@imahumdinger77]

What is the sheet you used as wedging surface? Where I can get this?

[@Theonlyalysa]

Do you have the Amazon link to this exact table cloth? I read on your blog about how some of the vinyl table cloths have that fuzzy backing and it can leave texture behind. But that is the only type Im seeming to find :( thank you!

[@ThePotteryWheel]

Hi, the one I got on Amazon doesn't seem to be available at the moment. But I did find this company who makes them with cotton. I'd call them first and check that they don't have the fluffy flock on them first, but it looks like they are pure cotton with backing. I hope that helps. www.idreamoffrance.com/collections/coated-tablecloths

Does the vinyl tablecloth have a flannel backing?

[@ThePotteryWheel]

I use cotton backed vinyl. A lot of them have flocking on the back which is wooly. If you can find cotton backed that's better.

Hii! Great video. Can I know what I should do if the clay sticks to the roller?

[@ThePotteryWheel]

There are a few things that you can try if the clay sticking to the roller, either you can wedge the clay until it's a little bit dryer or you can roll the clay between two sheets of fabric. Find two sheets of smooth texture-free fabric like an old sheet and then roll the clay between those two sheets. then you can peel the fabric of the clay once it's been rolled out. I hope that helps :-)

[@lesleylinton8234]

[@ThePotteryWheel]
