Suggestion. Put a small sticker on each end and side of those 2 clear pieces. I use stickers for all my small clear rulers, clear scissor covers, and anything else that's easy to lose. If a sticker doesn't stick then I use a small brushstroke or two of nail polish then cover it with clear polish. If you don't want something permanent, use wash tape.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Great idea! Thank you for the tip. - Yajaira

[@19sman74]

Maybe take a permanent marker and write something or mark an X on the side of the plastic feeder "thingy" that doesn't go against the fabric so they don't disappear😁

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That's a good idea! - Morgan

[@bn9242]

That tool would save a lot of time. Glad someone came up with the idea and you showed it to us. Thank you.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

This is genius - now I feel I can actually make one of these rugs. Thanks so much for the demonstration on how to use this notion.

Thank you for watching! Happy sewing! ~Leah

Jerry's Jellyroll Jig is a game changer! I've made a jelly roll rug and it would have been easier had I used this notion. Thanks Jen!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We agree! Wish we had these earlier, but so glad we have them now. :) - Morgan

I have wanted to make a rug for my bedroom from the same line of fabrics as my quilt. Thank you so much. 💗😊💗

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That would be gorgeous and this will save you so much time! - Morgan

[@lindarowe9518]

I ordered and could not wait to use it. I make alot of jelly roll things including those adorable Christmas Trees. This tool cut my time in half! It worked perfectly. Thanks for the great video. Those little pieces of plastic are essential!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Linda! We're glad it was helpful! Stay safe and happy sewing! ~Leah

[@suestutzle2779]

I have Pauline Rogers Jelly Roll Sasher, being a fellow Aussie I went with that. Pauline's is like a buckle whilst this one is like a bias tape making tool so whichever way you wish to go there is a tool for you. It all boils down to fun.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We agree! As long as it works for you and makes things more fun, it's a great tool. :) - Morgan

[@terryivey5374]

Wow! This is something I will buy :) I try to sew purist lol. Tell myself, they made the same thing years ago and didn’t need this plastic whatever. But after making a rug, I see the wisdom in this. Thanks for great info.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We tend to agree with you Terry, a lot of notions aren't that necessary, but this time-saver was so great, we had to share. :) Let us know when you use this on your next rug, we'd like to hear your thoughts on it. - Morgan

[@DH-qz2so]

Thanks for a great video! Love listening to you talk about the latest and greatest...like having one of my quilt group buds here in the living room with me...we've had to postpone those weekly sewing get togethers for now...love the coffee chit chat you bring to my world right now! I've got LOTS of time, to grab a tea/coffee/glass of wine, press play, sit back...and have a nice tute! What else do I have to do anyways! For those who want a 'get 'er done' video..there is always the fast forward button...but honestly, why would we do that? We'd miss out on all the fun! Take care..keep safe and healthy..looking forward to what is next !

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Thank you so much for that nice comment! We really like the human interaction that comes with quilting - the retreats, the guilds, the sewing days with our friends - so we like to make our videos feel as close to that as possible. We're thrilled that you're enjoying our videos and getting some quality coffee time in. ;) That's a wonderful way to spend time. Be well! - Morgan

[@grandmalovesmebest]

It is very hard on arthritic hands. It is also difficult to keep it centered and to keep it from bunching up in the jig. The pieces of plastic dont actually grip the fabrics as you try to enter them into the jig. As it is a 3D printer item, the jig is not very stable. Id recommend using the metal tool that looks like a bias maker. It is much easier, esp to enter the fabrics. And has the advantage of being able to be near heat if you are using fusible batting. Im wondering exactly where to sew the tube. Id rather my stitching didnt show when im sewing the tube to itself; id like to do that w a zigzag and not have stability stitching showing.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We are glad you found a tool that works for you! In addition to this Veteran made product, we do also offer Pauline Roger's Jelly Roll Sasher tool if you're seeking an alternative. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn-agqypiLtkoLM You can chekc out our original Jelly Roll Rug video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d33Cl3uYbNuFpdE Hope this helps!! -Michelle

[@lori1740]

It would work for pocketbook or bag straps too.

Basically a bias tape maker on steroids! The tool that looks like a belt buckle doesn't work as easily as this ine seems to (form me at least)

[@linrag64]

Between this tool and the Jelly Roll Sasher tool, which do you find is the easiest and gives the most consistent folds? Your videos make both look so easy. Thanks and I appreciate all your videos.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Linda! Both products work wonderfully and are rather easy to use! We'd love to hear which one works best for you! Thank you for watching! - Sophie

[@Sewcrafty1013]

I was hoping you would show how to add the next piece of fabric. Do you just fold over the 2.5" end and overlap it over the last one? I got my roll of batting a week or two ago and am ready to go! Maybe I should order this tool first!!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

If you're making a Jelly Roll Rug, yes, you'll just butt the next batting strip next to the old. We didn't overlap ours, just got them as close as possible. This tool will make it so much quicker, we highly recommend it! - Morgan

[@handmadebyMickie]

I have the Jelly Roll Slasher. It works really well and, to me, looks easier than this one. But isn’t it marvelous that we have options!

what size needle is recommended for this thickness of fabric? thank you.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Jeannie S- You're going to want a jeans/denim needle for this type of project. We personally use a 100/16 Schmetz Chrome needle, which you can find here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/p66732/schmetz-chrome-jeans-denim-needles-size-100-16-5ct 💖 -Michelle

[@lilbb257]

WOW! Can you use this "jig" on thinner material? Like to make "ties" for the very needed face masks?

[@JKLO3403]

Would pulling the fabric and batting through this tool stretch it out?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Great question! The tool is only meant to get it to where it folds it inward, so we can sew it a little bit more easily. The tool does not have enough of a tug to stretch it. - Yajaira

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but if not....... why wouldn't you write on those plastic strips with a marks-a-lot? T'would be helpful.

[@hume6900]

Kathy DeRouchey, would the ink from the marks-a-lot come off on the fabric?

You could! Just make sure it doesn't come off on the fabric. :) - Morgan

Looks like a bias tape maker but bigger

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Yes, it's very similar to a bias tape maker! - Morgan

[@ellenhofer3343]

That's what I think too. But, its made for the thickness of all those layers of fabric and batting. I tried making the rugs and ended up with 2 bowels & after a lot of ripping I just made rectangular shaoed rugs of strips, with bindibg all aroud & some placemats. Lol

[@CamberDesignsLLC]

Has anyone tried this without the batting? For instance making bag straps etc? I need a way beyond these old metal ones I have that actually help speed up the process of my making straps bias tape, binding etc.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That's a great question. We haven't tried it, but maybe someone else has and can help you out! - Morgan

[@mamakaka73]

What if you make the rug without batting?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

For regular cotton fabric we highly recommend not making this without the batting. There is a slight possibility that you can make this with high quality flannel fabric, however we still highly suggest not making it without the batting. - Yajaira

Oh dearie me! Have you never heard "a picture is worth a thousand words"? Are you aware of how many times you repeated yourself? Isuggest you carefully review your video after you make it and focus on how you can cut several thousand words from your presentation. Your camera work is good, just cut down the blathering and you will be doing well. Your voice is lovely, just save some of it for another time.😊
