I've been sewing over pins for 40 years :D never broke a single needle - lol! Both my grandmother and a professionally trained sewing instructor had me sew over pins ;) It's no big deal, the sky won't fall!

[@lizday8140]

To skip the trouble you had with the bulky tapered end getting caught in the feed dogs at the start of sewing the coils, simply turn the tapered end toward you before inserting under the presser foot and sew, starting it at about five or six inches above that pesky tapered end, and sew toward the tapered end. The fabric will not fight you, then. Secure with backstitches, cut threads, turn project around, and then start sewing at the place you started your stitches, but going in the opposite (originally intended) direction.

I wish I read this about 90 minutes ago! :-) Such a smart idea!

I didn't even notice the music till I read the comments...thanks for the tutorial, it was very helpful and now I am inspired to make one myself ;)

I am glad you are inspired! We have everything you need to make one at shop.quiltaddictsanonymous.com. And people either don’t notice the music, or completely hate it. There is no middle ground 😊

The music was fine. Reminded me of nap time for my grandcrumbs

Thank you so much for this! I bought the pattern and took a class this weekend at my local quilt shop. Right now my binding is in a big ball. Can't wait to get started.

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

That all is so good to hear! I hope you have a great time making your rugs. And thank you for supporting pattern designers.

[@kluedesigns]

Great video and it saved me from making this rug as a gift. the rugs will always be washed and non-sewing people will not know to iron the rug within an inch of it's life to make it flat again. for the life of me i don't know why the pattern maker didn't make this rug with bias strips. i don't want to give out gifts to people that become an ironing chore every couple of weeks after washing the rugs - that is not the kind of gift that keeps giving i wish to give.

[@tagamigigoslow4678]

If i came across this info i would of cut fabric on the bias😭 mines a gift if she washes who knows what will happen. Ironing never helped me so had to redo...not a good rug

[@drmichaelelinski6992]

Those binding clips work great with both Jelly Roll patterns - just my opinion.

[@lindahewitt3225]

Great video very helpful....

[@KAline-sp6zn]

This was very helpful, thank you. I have made two, and had minimal waves by making sure to provide more ease when making the turns. What waviness remained was easily rectified with your recommendations to iron and spray starch.

[@laraescheidemantle3682]

This is by far the best video on this project. Thank you. Your instructions were very concise. I got more from your video than I did from the book the creator of the pattern put out. She neglected to give much advice on starting the rug and this is the most difficult spot; I was very disappointed in her pattern and instructions.

I am glad you enjoyed the video. I think some people are visual learners, and you sound like one of them. That is why we do so many videos.

Making one now.My tip have a lot of wonder clips ready.I cut my own batting strips and butted them together and used a zig zag stitch to join them.Worked perfectly and who doesn't have loads of left over batting.

Thanks for sharing your tip!

[@lorijaeger3216]

So very helpful, well done! Clear explanations, I love that you encourage people to support the designer. It was especially helpful to see that yours was so wavy but eventually tamed to a nice flat rug, that was so encouraging!!! I agree with most everyone else about the music, the Mario marimba got really tiresome.

WOW! Your rug looks amazing! I love how yours turned out . I’m going to do one oval and one rectangular, at the very least. I think my little dachshund, Domino, will love lying on this new rug in the sun this winter! You gave me so much encouragement and self confidence for this project. I’d like to see how yours looks after a wash. I’d like to send you pictures of mine, before and after washing. Instructions say to put rug into a mesh laundry bag for machine washing. Did you find this to be necessary or better? I was thinking that I could maybe just use a gentle wash cycle to prevent rug fraying or unraveling. What do you think? Your opinion matters to me. Merci beaucoup!

Great tutorial. The music volume is fine. I didn't notice music was playing until I started reading the comments.

Thanks! I think it is a very vocal minority that hate it, but we do want to try to keep people happy

[@laross1956]

This was a great tutorial. I've had a bit of trouble getting around the 1st couple corners, but I think I've got it now. Others have asked for the music to be left off....I however would like the gloves to be left off. It's really hard to see what you're doing with that big ol' glove right in the way of the needle and fabric. Just FYI for others re: the batting....I cut my own strips bc I had to stop every 150 clips anyway to roll more. So butting batting together was not a problem for me...plus I have a very large stash of batting and it saved me a lot of money.

[@c4berpaw]

Just noticed, it seems like you are doing a bit of “pulling” on the strips as you’re sewing. Wonder if there was less pulling, especially on the ends, maybe it would curl less. Just a thought. Awesome tutorial.........except for the music. I am inspired. Thank you.

[@drmichaelelinski6992]

You are such a great, clear teacher. Thank you for all the support! That Bosal batting by Katahdin is fantastic. I’ll be using it mor and more. What is your shop and your shop address, so I can give you business and browse your shop. Thanks. The prewinding bobbin recommendation is so important, so you have all 4 or 5 full bobbins all full. Would you recommend using polyester thread as opposed to cotton for additional strength when sewing the rug together? I’d like your opinion.

When i did mine i starched it every 4 rounds. Worked great. Thanks for the video

I did it ever couple of rounds, but it still took some serious pressing at the end!

[@QuilterDeb]

Hi - Thank you so much for the great tutorial! A friend got me the pattern and said to be sure and watch this first, and it's really helped out. One suggestion - maybe consider no background music next time? (especially a tune that repeats the same 16 notes endlessly). Those who like it will say "but I like it!" yet probably wouldn't miss it. :-) For the rest of us, well... Thanks so much!

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

I am glad the tutorial helped you make the rug!

[@debbiereynolds9276]

Yes, this is a great video. I am ordering the roll of batting just to help. I also have a lot of jelly rolls so the possibilities are endless. Very easy to follow but have a problem with the background music, not needed. Thanks for sharing.

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

Thank you for your feedback. Check out the link in our profile. We have batting that we can ship to you!

[@lindakiefer9865]

Instead of stacking books check out the Sew Steady machine tables. They are custom made to fit your sewing machine or serger. They are a lifesaver when sewing knits and/or large pieces of fabric. Love mine.

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

Thanks! Great tips!

[@tracystoutbehunin9303]

Thanks so much. Great video. Just a suggestion, but at the end I really wanted to see some more video of the finished rug. Maybe hold it up get some distance show it at different angles. Most importantly a full head on view. You did a great job of demonstrating. Hats off to the plugs for the pattern. It’s only fair that Those of us that plan to make this rug support the pattern maker :-) was

[@amybiblewski6038]

Your video was great; a lot of good information and easy to follow!. I do have the pattern but haven't tried it yet. You said something interesting about the Jelly Roll strips being cut on the straight of grain vs. the bias. I plan to cut strips from my stash so I wonder if I cut them on the bias if the rug would lay flatter. What do you think?

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

I doubt it because you are still stuffing it with batting.

[@pattylokken7095]

I really enjoyed your tutorial. I found that the background music made it hard to catch everything you were saying, I would just suggest that next time you leave out the background music to make it easier for your viewers. Thanks for a great lesson!

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. The background music was a bit too loud in this video so we will be adjusting in the future.

[@georgette329]

No music is needed.

[@nanagramms3]

I agree; get rid of the music. I had trouble following. Very distracting.

[@ellenhofer3343]

Sorry to say I had to stop watching because the music was too much.

[@SewCreateful]

Great video! Can you double or triple the supplies and make a large area rug ?

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

Yes you can, you just need a large surface to work on and go slow to make sure it doesn’t curl

[@healingsprings11]

Like this tutorial but music is too loud for my ears while trying to follow you. Great job and very pretty rug. 🙆

[@abbeyp8834]

Hi! Does it have to be best press or any starch spray? I have Easy On Speed Starch.

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

I am sure you could use another starch. I did another one with just water and it turned out fine.

[@noravelascobayona3218]

Me parece muy hermoso . Me gustaría si en Colombia los vende. O se pueden pedir.soy de colombia.

[@sharleenhendrickson9434]

could you use 2 1/2 strips on the bias to stop the rolling up and how is it after its washed?

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

It washes great. We have another video on that. And cutting strips on the bias wouldn’t help, because you still have to stuff it with batting. I have made a bunch more since this video and you just have to take it slow. We have a video on how to fix it if your rug isn’t flat.

[@incogniko636]

Do you use a walking foot for the zigzag

[@janetehoffman]

Would sewing the batting strips equal the tape? I have my jelly roll strips, the pattern and two rolls of batting, but no strips to join. I must say you are a Goddess! This is by far the most perfect video on the project I have ever seen and I think I have watched them all! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

Do you meant sewing the batting strips together like with a zig zag stitch? If so, I would test it to see how much bulk it adds. You want it to be as flat as possible. And thanks! I am glad you love the tutorial!

[@carolync5243]

I used a fabric glue stick. Worked perfectly. I agree with you on the video! It is the best one I have seen and I have watched them all too!!!!!!

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

Finally someone who wasn’t offended by acoustic guitar! Glad you liked the tutorial.

[@ukexpatpennsylvania7304]

Quilt addicts Anonymous: Check your video. If that is an acoustic guitar I'll put gravy on my rug and eat it, the music sounds more like Schroeder's piano. No offense intended as I'm sure none was intended by you. PS. My husband performs as an acoustic guitarist.

[@teresamcbrayer2549]

I noticed the nowl behind you on the shelf, is it also made from the same thing your sewing together right now

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

That is a clothesline bowl I had made for me, so not really the same thing, but similar.

[@kimpope7186]

The music wasn't a problem for me as I use the CC to read while watching..

[@sharonhplamondon4694]

How do the rugs hold up? Can you wash them? The locker hooked rugs I've made are 10 years old and been washed15 to 20 times. They are still beautiful. This technique is so much faster but also much more expensive. Can't wait to give it a try.

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

They can be washed, but you have to press it down when it comes out of the machine. I have mine near the entrance of the shop, and it is walked on A LOT and it is still looking good.

[@cynthiamcgear752]

If cutting your own strips would it be better to cut on the bias to avoid some of the bowing you experienced?

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

I don’t think it would make a difference because the batting will still have trouble curving.

[@Carylanne927]

I had to laugh when I came to comment bc I was thinking the same as Joy did, I've watched a few others explain and do this, however I found your showing and tips to be very well expressed. Thanks, I will make at least two of these as I ordered 3 units of pre cut batting since I definitely would rather not have the extra batting piece in my stash. lol what a deal. Anyway thanks again for showing so many great ideas for stitching and pressing as you go along. BTW just how many bobbins should we start with ??? lol really I never start a quilt top without at least two bobbins but this is an extreme case of bobbin thread did you find that to be the case? thanks again keep up the great fun stuff for us.

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

I am glad you found it helpful! I would start with three or four bobbins. You need a lot of thread for this one.

[@Bluechowmom]

Did you happen to notice that your thread was wrapped around the back of the needle when you were doing the original stitching to make the tube

It you starch your strip before you sew it together with the batting it will lay flat. Just a tip

Will this need to be ironed to death after it's been washed? Just wondering before I buy the pattern. Thank you for a great video!

It can be washed, but you will need to spray it down and iron it flat again after it has been washed

[@susanf6913]

Just made mine.. did not curl much.. used a a zig zag stitch of 9.. but it came out more round using the instructions and size in pattern.. what could have caused this..Thanks

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

You could have had more of a curve going down the center or eased in fabric as you went.

[@CJG1419]

Can you use cotton clothesline rather than batting? Is that a walking foot? Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

That is a walking foot and clothesline would be much harder to sew with, would be thicker and you would have to wrap the fabric around differently, but people have done it.

[@CJG1419]

Quilt Addicts Anonymous thanks so much for the information!

[@wendylynn469]

CJ 1419 yes you can. That's what I use. Just make sure you use a sharp needle.

what size needle did you use to make your jelly roll rugn

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

Any size jeans needle is fine.

[@faithjones-rolfe]

@@QuiltAddictsAnonymous thank you

[@daniellegrazianistone4632]

I think if the turns were not so tight the sides of the rug would not want to pull up. Just a thought.

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

The turns are very tight in the center and then smooth out as you get further out.

[@pettypedroakalsthecat]

Danielle Graziani Stone , I saw in another video that exact solution, you have to help it ease around the curves or it will start to curl up.

[@Carol-Bell]

Another video mentioned the option of making a round rug instead of an oval. I wonder, perhaps a round rug would not pull up as much???

[@jules2713]

I wonder if you would be better off just soaking it with water to flatten. Run it through washing machine on gentle cycle then air dry. Anyone try it??? Thanks for this video!!

[@QuiltAddictsAnonymous]

We have a whole video on this, but the short answer is if your rug has problems before you wash it, it will have problems after you wash it.
